Thread: Cant solve this error... please help...

Ok, i switched from coding a MUD to a regular text based game... I decided to use a structure to hold the player information, and anything that you can fight (trying to keep organised, and easier to change) but i keep getting this error:

[montez@localhost codes]$ c++ game.cpp -o game -O2 -Wall
game.cpp: In function `void name()':
game.cpp:37: error: request for member `player' in `name', which is of non-class type `void ()()'

when i try to compile it... this is my souce so far:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

struct stats { //declairs a structure that holds the player information
        string name; //players name
        string weapon; //players weapon
        int life; //players life
};

void intro();
void name();

void intro() {
        cout<<"--------------------------------------------- "<<endl;
        cout<<"----                                     ---- "<<endl;
        cout<<"----                                     ---- "<<endl;
        cout<<"----          -My    Game-                ---- "<<endl;
        cout<<"----                                     ---- "<<endl;
        cout<<"----                                     ---- "<<endl;
        cout<<"----          -By: Goosie-               ---- "<<endl;
        cout<<"----                                     ---- "<<endl;
        cout<<"----                                     ---- "<<endl;
        cout<<"--------------------------------------------- "<<endl;
        name();
}

int main() {
        stats player;
        player.life = 100;

        intro();
}

void name() {
        cout<<"Enter your name: ";
        cin>>name.player;
}

any help would be appreciated
