Adding the stat roller to my SmaugFUSS 1.9 and running into some issues. The snippet is obviously written for Smaug 1.4a. Could someone tell me how to fix this error?

comm.c: In function void nanny_get_new_race(DESCRIPTOR_DATA*, const char*)
comm.c:2328: error: buf was not declared in this scope

This is the line of code from the snippet;

snprintf( buf, MAX_STRING_LENGTH, "\r\nStr: %d  Int: %d  Wis: %d  Dex: %d  Con: %d  Cha: %d  Lck: %d\r\nKeep? (Y/N)",

It's filling up a temporary buffer, and will later (presumably) print that buffer to the character. You can declare the buffer by doing something like char buf[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH] but if you don't also send it, it's kind of an exercise in futility.

It's already declared with a char buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH]. How do I get it to send?

Well, apparently it's not already declared, because otherwise you wouldn't have gotten the error... :wink:

You would send it using one of the normal methods, like send_to_char or whatever.

Hmm, it was declared in the function below it and I thought it was in this function but it was declaring an arg. So I added the buf below that and it compiles and works clean.

My first attempt at playing with the code and I actually managed to write a new nanny function
