New Character: Hunger / Thirst

CodeMephit · #8 07-22-2008, 08:09 AM

I could use a little guidance on variable usage please.

I have added the following line to \EQEmu-0.7.0-1118\zone\client_packet.cpp just before a character eats:

Code:

Message(13, "My current race is: ");

This will print a message in the client chat window.

I then began changing it to print the 'race' variable. I have tried:

Code:

Message(13, m_pp.race);
Message(13, pp.race);
Message(13, race);

In hopes of printing the 'race' variable to the chat window. The pourpose of this is so that I have an idea what to test for. At the present, I don't know if race is stored as a number (ie. Human=1, Elf=2, Dwarf=3) or if it is stored as a string (ie. Human="HUMAN", Elf="ELF", Dwarf="DWARF"). I also don't exactly know the name of the variable that holds the race value.

None of the above attempts would work. I have also seen in other code where things like the following were used:

Code:

scs->zone_id
zone->GetZoneID()

Maybe I need to use the -> thing to point to where the race variable is?

If anyone happens to know and can point me in the right direction, I would be *very* appreciative.

Thanks
