How you can make actor.text to IF actor.text="text" ..

[bat78]

Hello, i have a last question till i am done, so i will be short as i can.
I tryed to use arrays:

Code: Select all

char textactor[256]=actor.text; //does not work

I tryed also with that:

Code: Select all

int atoi(actor*str); //no effect

So i am in total confusion.. how i might be supposed to do run functions if the actor.text = "texthere" and different functions if the actor.text = "anothertexthere".
If someone have ideas for that maybe he can share? But i don't think that is quite possible easy.

To set a string equal to another, you have to use a string function.

Code: Select all

char textactor[256];
strcpy(textactor, actor.text);

strcpy relative to actor.text is already in use. Im reading text from file. So.. is there a way to make IF actor.text="choice 1" { ..
fgets? or atoi?

If your using the file* method, all numbers can be stored within variables, like so:

heres your text file:

Code: Select all

playerX=45


if you want to use this, its simple. I could be wrong cause its been a while but I think it goes something like this:
fgetc(FILE, "playerX=%d", variable);

In your case, the choice. Instead of if text=, you can do if variable==1, (or what ever other number they would type in the text file)

Damn i am lost xD Where i have to put that.
fgetc's syntax accept two arguments as i remember, it wont happan with fgetc(FILE, "playerX=%d", i_Text); for sure, but what "playerX=%d" stands for?

I may have been wrong in the way to do it xD

%d represents an integer variable, %d will become the value of the variable you mentioned after it

You wrote "fgetc" and it accepts 2 parameters, are you sure it is fgetc not fgets, because fgets accepting 2 parameters and it converts string num.

If you simply want to check if some text is same as some other text, use strcmp(). (Strcmp comes from string compare.)
Here's how to use it:

If you want to check if Actor1's text is "hello", and use it as a condition, you'd write this:

Code: Select all

if (strcmp(Actor1.text, "hello") == 0)
{
    //Then you add your conditional code here.
}

Notice that the strings are the same when strcmp() returns 0. You can think it like that there is 0 differences between the two strings -> they are the same.

I hope this helps you!

I don't have to test to make sure that takes effect ^-^ Thanks. +1
Also thanks hblade and drein for the responsability.
