The syntax is fine I think - so why the error?

For declaring inside a function the follow syntax should be used. Code: function my_func() { STRING* namest; namest = str_create("na"); } Evil Blood (v. 0.52) RPG Commport.de (Social Network Community)

I use warn_level = 1; But it could also a syntax problem with a include before your declaration. Maybe somewhat like commentation at the end of a file or a include of a empty file. This is not allowed. Last edited by HPW; 12/14/08 23:31. Evil Blood (v. 0.52) RPG Commport.de (Social Network Community)

As Murphys' laws of programming state: Does the damn thing work? If yes then don't touch it! Thanks again though. Very thoughtful.
