Passing clonename to a global function

[jazz_e_bob]

I have a function called lengthOfString.

If you pass it a string it will return the strings length.

lengthOfString( "testing123" );
returns a 10.


However if you attempt to pass it clonename...

textOutput.textNumber = lengthOfString( clonename );

...you will get a "Cast loses const qualifier" error.

How do I pass the current actors clonename to a global function?

textOutput.textNumber = lengthOfString("clonename");

I do not know exaclty what you are trying to do, but that should work(what I typed)

Use a const char * as argumet of your function:

Code: Select all

int lengthOfString(const char *s)
{
...
}

oh, so that is what he was trying to do.
