It would really help if you could just post a link to a copy of the actual source files. Reading code outside Emacs or vim is a real PITA to me .

[melker]

I'm sorry but I'm not gonna put up my code on the web.
Thanks for trying to assist me with my problem, even tho
we couldnt solve it this time.

[thelenian]

heh.. found the problem with the snippet I gave you..

This should work:

[code] if ((race == 0)
|| (send_to_char("Checking if(!race_table[race].pc_race...\n",ch),!race_table [race].pc_race)
|| (IS_GOOD(ch) && (send_to_char("Hey, you're good! ;D\n",ch),!race_table[race].good))
|| (IS_NEUTRAL(ch) && (send_to_char("Hey, you're neutral! ;|\n",ch),!race_table[race].neutral))
|| (IS_EVIL(ch) && (send_to_char("Hey, you're evil! Muahahaha! >;)\n",ch),!race_table[race].evil)))[/quote]

I was missing 3 sets of parenthesis.

Hi Melker -

If Thelenian's latest solution doesn't work, just cut and paste those functions which are in question (the nanny, the race_table, and anything else) to a single file post the file here as a code sample. Those functions would not be enough to replicate your entire sourcecode, nor would they likely function as standalones were someone stupid enough to 'steal' them and paste them into their own source.

Along with that, would you please post a restatement of the specific problem you're having and the desired result you want to achieve. I think I'm not alone in saying that, in light of the amount of responses here, it would benefit everyone to see this reiteration.

Answer to thelenien:

I tried it and this is what I got when I picked good align and a evil aligned race...Demon.

Checking if(!race_table[race].pc_race...
Hey, you're good!
What is your sex (M/F/N)?

I hope this helps.

[Loriel]

No, it doesn't help much.

Yet again you are posting your code showing that you don't have the piece of code I suggested you should add back.

Every time I made the suggestion, you told us the code was really there, you'd just pasted it wrong.

Is that the case again ?

[melker]

It's working now, I just forgot to add 1 simple darn line, heheh. Thanks for all the help boys and girls and aliens..
You've been great..it's much appriciated.
