I'm just wondering what word stands for "word" in C++.
For example, int stands for numbers.
What word stands for "word" in c++.

Examples:

int preset = atof(Text[1].c_str()); = finds the number from the message.
??? preset = atof(Text[1].c_str()); = finds the word from the message.

"word" does not exist. There is a replacement called char which is an array. Or however you can look at the STD library for std::string.

int atoi( const char *str );
double atof( const char *str );
long atol( const char *str );

Most of the time you can cast between
int -> double/float

Don't go the other way though as you lose the decimal places.

Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

You should either use (const) char* or std::string. char* is marginally faster, but it's easier to make silly, sloppy, and sometimes exploitable errors with it. BTW, you don't need to call an extra function, as Text[1] is already an std::string and .c_str() gives you a char* from it.

Ok, this is what i did:

char* preset = atof(Text[1].c_str());

And i got a error:

Error	1	error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'double' to 'char *'	c:\Westwood\RenegadeFDS\Server\gmmain.cpp	2477

atof returns a float or a double...

I knew someone was going to make that reference to STDs... :S Oh well.

You need to cast the function to become a char*.
Currently you have

char *preset = const char *c_str();

Notice the const? It isn't the same on each side.

Either:

Correctness (Warning: You cannot edit a const char):

const char *preset = Text[1].c_str();

OR:

Casting:

char *preset = (char *)Text[1].c_str();

Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

Thanks

Very Happy

That helped me alot now Smile

Smile

Anyways, the line i'm using it for got error. I dont think that i used the "preset" thing right Razz

Razz

	GameObject *object = Commands->Create_Object(preset,position);

Error	1	error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated	c:\Westwood\RenegadeFDS\Server\gmmain.cpp	2487

Plus a warning:

Warning	2	warning C4189: 'object' : local variable is initialized but not referenced	c:\Westwood\RenegadeFDS\Server\gmmain.cpp	2487

It would be nice if you would help, but if you dont know, then it is ok.

Don't create a variable if you aren't going to use it. Just use Commands->Create_Object at the start of the line...

	}	
};
ChatCommandRegistrant<presetbuildChatCommand> presetbuildChatCommandReg("!pbuild",CHATTYPE_ALL,1,GAMEMODE_AOW);

I would just check where the position is because you are altering it, I've had enough core 4 [intergration of trig functions] this year so I'm not checking it.

My other advice would be to make sure you are sending a valid preset as found in renedit.

Nope, doesnt work.
I think it is still this line:

char *preset = (char *)Text[1].c_str();

It wont read the word/preset name from the message.
