Char Variable Probelm

I'm new to char variables, and they're quite a bit different from int variables.

Code:

---

bool NewWeap1 = false;
bool NewWeap2 = false;
bool NewWeap3 = false;
bool NewWeap4 = false;
bool NewWeap5 = false;
char WeaponName[15] = "Shotgun";
void CheckCondition()
{
        if (damage < pGuy->GetHP() / 3)
        {
                SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), FOREGROUND_RED);
                MessageBox(0, "Condition Critical!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
        }
        else
                SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), FOREGROUND_INTENSITY);
        YourTurn();
}

void CheckWinning()
{
        if (damage >= pGuy->GetHP() / 2)
                MessageBox (0, "You Defeated the enemy!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
        else if ( damage >= pGuy->GetHP() / 3)
                MessageBox (0, "You Defeated the enemy...barely!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
}

void  CheckUpgrades()
{
        if (pGuy->GetAtt() >= 25 && !NewWeap1)
        {
                MessageBox(0, "Weapon Evolved!!!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                MessageBox(0, "Shotgun became Blaster!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                MessageBox(0, "Attack power augmented!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                WeaponName[15] = "Blaster";
                pGuy->SetAtt(5);
                NewWeap1 = true;
        }
        if (pGuy->GetAtt() >= 39 && !NewWeap2)
        {
                MessageBox(0, "Weapon Evolved!!!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                MessageBox(0, "Blaster became Avenger!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                MessageBox(0, "Attack power augmented!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                WeaponName[15] = "Avenger";
                pGuy->SetAtt(12);
                NewWeap2 = true;
        }
                if (pGuy->GetAtt() >= 52 && !NewWeap3)
        {
                MessageBox(0, "Weapon Evolved!!!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                MessageBox(0, "Attack power augmented!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                pGuy->SetAtt(18);
                NewWeap3 = true;
        }
                        if (pGuy->GetAtt() >= 74 && !NewWeap4)
        {
                MessageBox(0, "Weapon Evolved!!!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                MessageBox(0, "Avenger became Fallen Angel!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                MessageBox(0, "Attack power augmented!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                WeaponName[15] = "Fallen Angel";
                pGuy->SetAtt(26);
                NewWeap4 = true;
        }
                                if (pGuy->GetAtt() >= 90 && !NewWeap5)
        {
                MessageBox(0, "Weapon Evolved!!!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                MessageBox(0, "Fallen Angel became Damien's Wrath!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                MessageBox(0, "Attack power augmented!", "Krak's RPG - Krak Productions, 2003", MB_OK);
                WeaponName[15] = "Damien's Wrath";
                pGuy->SetAtt(40);
                NewWeap5 = true;
        }
}

When compiled, I get the following errors:

What gives?

>> WeaponName[15] = "Damien's Wrath";
That won't work. You're trying to assign an entire string to memory the size of a char, which you don't even own.

Read up on how arrays work.

After that, use strcpy to assign one string to the other. strcpy(WeaponName, "Damien's Wrath")
Or, use an object of the std::string type, then assignments like WeaponName = "Damien's Wrath"; will be valid.
