str_cpy bug?

Hi!
I have a problem with the multiplayer workshop from AUM 74.
In "multiplayer3.c" in line 80:

If I test it, there comes the text "#100" on enter key. But if I start the original server.bat and press the enter key, it works...!? I think, this is a bug?

I have Version A8.40.3 Com

Can anyone help me please?

Ok, I find it myself. Its not a bug. Here is my solution:

I changed:

with this:


I think for TEXT objects its better you work with pstring.

I think #100 only works in str_create and when defining a string globally, and not in str_cpy which only copies a content to another string...

Ouh, your "solution" leaks memory.

Thanks for your replies. yes, but it works for Me. sid Do you know a better way?

That sounds like a fundamental lack of knowledge in regards to memory management. Which is bad the second you start playing with dynamically allocated memory.


Yes. But you should google "memory leak" and use the manual to find out why it is a memory leak, what's so bad about it and how it's fixed.

Ok, but I really don't understand, why you can't explain me about the problem.
I asked google for that, but I dont understand, whats the problem here.
This line:

is the original code of the workshop in AUM 74.

Yes, this code creates the string once. Yours creates a new string every time you call it.
