strcpy

[jazz_e_bob]

This code crashes GE

Code: Select all

char *actorName;

strcpy ( actorName, enemy.name );

strcpy (debugText.text, actorName);


I don't understand why...

It's OK - I worked it out:

char *actorName;

should be

char actorName[256] = "";


This creates a 256 character string called actorName and sets the initial value to "".

What version of Game Editor Pro are you using? I believe he resolved this error in 1.3.0. I was having consistent crashes with all my strcpy and strcat commands until he found the bug.

Is a crash when use unitialized vars.
