For some reason, when I add stuff to a 'friends' field of a player using
strcat, it also adds it to my prompt.
Here's what I mean:
21300> friend Evangelion
Evangelion added to your friend list.
21300> Evangelion
21300> Evangelionsay Uhoh!
Huh?
The plan is to add friends with strcat rather than to copy 'friends' to a
temp buf, free the old 'friends', add the new friend to the temp buf, and
str_dup buf back over to 'friends'.
Here's the guts of what 'friend' does:
=========================================================
void do_friend (CHAR_DATA * ch, char *argument)
{
char buf[MIL];
static char bufx[42];
...
(acquire victim)
if (!strstr(ch->pcdata->friends, victim->name))
{
sprintf(bufx, " %s", victim->name);
strcat(ch->pcdata->friends, bufx);
strcpy(bufx, "");
sprintf(buf, "{C%s{x added to your friend list.\n\r", victim->name);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
}
else
{
send_to_char("That person is already in your friends list.\n\r",
ch);
}
...
=========================================================
Where have I screwed up?
For the record, I do have 'char *friends' init and clear appropriately, like
how bamfin does.
Recycle.c, in free_pcdata:
free_string (pcdata->friends); //added 1/2/03
Merc.h, struct pc_data:
char * friends; //added 1/2/03
Save.c, func load_char_obj:
ch->pcdata->friends = str_dup (""); //added 1/2/03
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time.
