    Weird Problem?

    Ok, I wormed out all my errors, now all I have are warnings. For some reason my game isint finding the right tile.

    I'm getting this error:

    Code:
    Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
    (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
    
    C:\Documents and Settings\User 1>CD C:\Borland\BCC55\BIN
    
    C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin>BCC32 C:\MazeOfPain.cpp
    Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland
    C:\MazeOfPain.cpp:
    Warning W8068 C:\MOPEngine.h 162: Constant out of range in comparison in functio
    n MoveRight()
    Warning W8068 C:\MOPEngine.h 162: Constant out of range in comparison in functio
    n MoveRight()
    Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland
    Now, my problem is that MoveRight() is pritty big. I isolated line 162:
    Code:
    Death(); //162
    My line before that however:
    Code:
    if(Saveme[0] == Enemy1 || Saveme[0] == Enemy2 || Saveme[0] == Enemy3 || Saveme[0] == Enemy4)
      Death(); //162
    I have them declared as they should be:

    Code:
    #define Enemy1 '@'
    #define Enemy2 '&' 
    #define Enemy3 '$'
    #define Enemy4 '%'
    Death function:

    Code:
    void Death() { //Not finished.
     clrscr();
     exit(0);
    }
    I dont get why its saying its out of range?? I have like 50 other constants that work just fine.
    Code:
    Error W8057 C:\\Life.cpp: Invalid number of arguments in function run(Brain *)

    I've read that bcc32 has this problem, where gcc and others do not. I'm not recommending to do it yet, incase I just don't see where the problem is (most likely), but you could try disabling that warning. I think this page has that information: -w-rng.

    Its a problem though, its not the warning, its actualy not even reading that the character's their. I'm doublechecking my co-ordinants to see if I messed up on something obvious.

    Try making them constants and not macros? (I don't know if those macros are right either... I skipped C). Just for the hell of it I'd try wrapping your if statement more logically.

    Code:
    const char Enemy1 = '@';
    const char Enemy2 = '&';
    const char Enemy3 = '$';
    const char Enemy4 = '%';
    
    if((Saveme[0] == Enemy1) || (Saveme[0] == Enemy2) || (Saveme[0] == Enemy3) || (Saveme[0] == Enemy4))

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    
    #define Enemy1 '@'
    #define Enemy2 '&' 
    #define Enemy3 '$'
    #define Enemy4 '%'
    
    void Death(void)
    { //Not finished.
       clrscr();
       exit(0);
    }
    
    void foo(const char *Saveme)
    {
       if ( Saveme[0] == Enemy1 || Saveme[0] == Enemy2 || 
            Saveme[0] == Enemy3 || Saveme[0] == Enemy4 )
       {
          Death();
       }
    }
    
    int main (void)
    {
       char Saveme[] = "@";
       foo(Saveme);
       return 0;
    }

    Yeah I dont know why this code is giving me an error... Weirder still is its only complaining about two of them, but they're four comparisons...

    if((Saveme[0] == Enemy1) || (Saveme[0] == Enemy2) || (Saveme[0] == Enemy3) || (Saveme[0] == Enemy4))

    Saveme[0] is not a constant char. (And it cant be either)

    So? In your code you are only comparing them.

    I blame it on bcc obviously, who knows what whacked up rules it has. Maybe you cant use macros like that, or initialize an array like that. I never liked Borland, but it was the first program I used so I of course didn't understand it.

    I fixed it by making a seperate function to return its value -,-. Ah well, it works now. Thank you for your help .

    Perhaps you have other enemies in a nearer scope to the comparison, which have a larger range.
