| Im using the latest AFKmud code base and Im having a little trouble with a snippet of code im trying to implement.
AFKmud allows for character creation to be done in game, but I wanted to hide the prompt while characters are in the creation area.'
I added this in the display_prompt function:
...
if (ch->in_room->area->filename == "entry.are")
prompt = blankprompt;
else if( !IS_PCFLAG( ch, PCFLAG_HELPSTART ) )
prompt = helpstart;
...
In case you cant tell, the if i added is right above the check to see if the helpstart prompt should be displayed.
I added a bug("%s", ch->in_room->area->filename); right before my code to make sure
ch->in_room->area->filename was indeed equal to "entry.are" and it was. Im not sure why the first if would be false other than theres maybe a difference in the strings that isnt printing to the screen (like a "\n"or something). | | Top |

| | sorry, i guess i wasnt clear, the if check isnt working. It skips the first if and goes to the else if even though ch->in_room->area->filename is equal to "entry.are" | | Top |

| Ah, you have to use strcmp.
Change the ifcheck to this:
if( !strcmp(ch->in_room->area->filename, "entry.are") )
