do_disguise - Gammon Forum

Alright, now i'm in the middle of making a disguise for thieves. what it does, it sets their long description to a predefined long. example, a character is disguised, another character looks and sees:

Forest
blah blah blah desc
blah blah blah desc
exits
A man stands here with a cloak on.

instead of the normal:
(race) *name* is standing here.

i'm getting weird errors that i'm not sure why.


void do_disguise ( CHAR_DATA *ch, char *argument )
{
        char arg1(MAX_INPUT_LENGTH); <--4419
        char arg2(MAX_INPUT_LENGTH); <--4420

        argument = one_argument(argument, arg1);  <--4422
        argument = one_argument(argument, arg2);  <--4423

        if ( IS_NPC(ch) )
        return;

        if (arg1[0] == '\0' || arg2[0] == '\0' )  <--4428

        {

                send_to_char( "Disguise <kind> < number>\n\r", ch );
                send_to_char( "Help Disguise\n\r", ch );
                return;

        }

                 ch->long_descr = str_dup ("^PA dark man stands here.^w\n\r");
//               return;
             }
        }

        {
                AFFECT_DATA     af;
                ZeroMemory(&af, sizeof(AFFECT_DATA) );

                af.type = skill_lookup("disguise");
                af.duration = 2;
                af.bDispel = DISPEL_NEVER;
                af.location = APPLY_NONE;
                af.bvAff = meb(AFFX_DISGUISE);
                affect_to_char (ch, &af);
        }
return;
}

here are the errors:

lines 419 and 420, the max length is 160, but i dont' know why it's erroring. the exbit62, i'm not sure why that's erroring as well. it's defined and did a make clean.

any thoughts?

ok, got the xbit 62 working. just had to define another spot.

Line 4419 and 4420, those should be brackets and not parentheses, like so:

char arg1[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH]; <--4419
char arg2[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH]; <--4420
