I agree with Edwin. Get a C book. Just a note, what happens if the person is logged on, but does not have a descriptor(ie. linkdead)?

Maybe someone can see what I'm doing wrong here, or offer a better way of doing things. On DR, the relationship system is kinda, well, complex. The person starts out dating, works their way up to getting married, all done in stages, limited by a certain timer (for example, you can't ask someone to marry you if you've been dating less than 20 weeks, etc). Occasionally, this timer seems to not want to work. With some it will, yet with some others it won't.. Personally, I have never had a problem with it, but I know others it won't move for, won't budge.. Here's the code for the update. void spouse_update( void ) { DESCRIPTOR_DATA *d; DESCRIPTOR_DATA *b; CHAR_DATA *ch; CHAR_DATA *victim; for ( d = descriptor_list; d != NULL; d = d->next ) { if (d->character != NULL && d->connected == CON_PLAYING) { ch = d->character; //this is me for ( b = descriptor_list; b != NULL; b = b->next ) { victim = b->original ? b->original : b->character; //this is my spouse if (b->connected == CON_PLAYING && victim != ch && victim->pcdata->spouse == ch->name) //are we online together?? If so, update the rtime { ch->pcdata->rtime ++ ; victim->pcdata->rtime ++ ; } } } } return; } Can anyone see anything in here that might cause that to do that? I can't, myself.
