		Three questions! 
1. When ever I make an SSM and set it to the model of a large_blocker, you can walk through it where the SSM part isn't, how do I fix it? 
  
2. I try to make a spy. It costs 150 credits. But, if you have less than 150, it still buys it and goes into negatives. How do you make it so you just can't buy it if its less than 150? Here's my code: 
| Quote: |   else if (strncmp(Msg3,"!spy",4) == 0) { // change 12 to how many letters command + ! is change !yourcommand to what you want 
 			if (obj){ // LEAVE THIS VERY IMPORTANT 
				if(Commands->Get_Money(obj) < 150.0f) { 
					char message[256]; 
				sprintf(message,"ppage %d You need 150 credits!",ID); 
				Console_Input(message); 
				} 
				else(Commands->Get_Money(obj) >= 150.0f){ 
				Commands->Give_Money(obj,-150,false); 
				} 
				if(Get_Team(ID) == 1) {  
					Change_Character(obj,"CnC_Nod_MiniGunner_0"); 
					} 
				else Change_Character(obj,"CnC_GDI_Minigunner_0"); 
				char message[256]; 
				sprintf(message,"message The player has %f credits",Commands->Get_Money(obj)); 
				Console_Input(message); 
 
			} 
 			} 
  |  
  
3. Is there someway to make your name the other teams color, like your tag when you walk around. NOT in the scoreboard.

		1) Pretty sure it's using the world box of the SSM. 
 
2) I'm pretty sure it's just the else should be else if, but... 
 
Declare the variable "PlayerCreds" as type int, and then.. oh fuck it, it's easier to show you: 
 
int PlayerCreds = Commands->Get_Money(obj); 
 
 
This will make it easier for you write and follow, so it would look something like (havn't tried it, most likely will give erros, but you get the idea): 
 
if (PlayerCreds > 150) { 
Commands->Give_Money(obj, -150, false); 
 if(Get_Team(ID) == 1) { 
Change_Character(obj,"CnC_Nod_MiniGunner_0");} 
} 
else if (PlayerCreds < 150) { 
//blah blah blah 
 
 
3) I'm sure it's possible, as there is a weird bug that can cause it, but I havn't ever tried to do it on purpose

if(!Purchase_Item(<player GameObject *>, <cost>))
{
 //not enough
}
else
{
 //buy the item
}
 
 
Although the spy thing is possible, it required ASM hacks afaik.

Could I make a script or something? It doesn't seem to complicated.  I mean, if somebody can make a boat and submarine script, how hard could it be to make something change color? Then again, I've never made a script before.

I also recommend you to use a string tokenizer for the command 
checking, it's a pain to always use strncmp  
  |  
  
What do you mean string tokenizer. BTW, Thanks for all the help guys!     
And what's the difference between true and false?

You can use my char string tokenizer. It's awesome    
 
It splits any strings into pieces, you can define the delimiter it uses for splitting (for example a space), and you can define the maximum number of pieces, the last one contains the rest of the string. 
 
http://www.blackintel.org/Cat998/strtokenizer.txt 
 
strtokenizer takes 4 arguments: 
 
char *message: The message you want to split into pieces 
char *buf: It needs a memory buffer, where it can copy the tokens into, for ingame chat messages 512 bytes is enough I think    
unsigned int n: The max number of tokens (The last one contains the rest of the string) 
char delimiter: The delimiter character 
 
 
Example: 
 
| Quote: |   char *message "!kick Sn1per74 C++ newb"; 
char buf[512]; //buffer for the function 
char **toks; 
toks = strtokenizer(message, buf, 3, ' '); //function call 
Console_Output("%s has been kicked out of the game for: %s", toks[1], toks[2]); 
 
//kick code here   
 
delete[] toks; //cleanup 
  |  
  
 
So toks[0] contains word1 (!kick), toks[1] contains word2 (Sn1per74) and toks[2] contains the rest of the string  
		
		
  When people ask  me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because  it's shorter then "Yes" 
 
Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life

		Use SSGM's ChatCommandClass, it has automatic tokenizing. I showed you this in one of your other topics.

		From what I know, it's using std:: strings and it's very bloated.
		
		
  When people ask  me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because  it's shorter then "Yes"
