Array Function Help
Posted: Sat Mar 13, 2010 4:01 pm
Hi, I am attempting my first C++ game. I am writing a Text Based RPG and am havin trouble with a function.
Right now i have this. I plan on fixing the body up later but for now its what i need.
For some reason i get an error when I try to use it. The code is suppose to ask if you want to pick up an item and place it in an array called inventory. I keep getting the error "cannot convert 'std::string' to std:: string (*)[5] "
Right now i have this. I plan on fixing the body up later but for now its what i need.
Code: Select all
void pickItem (string inv[5][5], int room, string item,int itemNum, string nothing)
{
string option;
if (room == itemNum)
{
cout << "There is a" << item << "in here. Do you want to pick it up? take or leave?";
cin >> option;
if (option == "take")
{
if (inv[0][0] == nothing)
{
inv[0][0] = item;
room = 0;
}
else if (inv[0][1] == nothing)
{
inv[0][1] = item;
room = 0;

{
inv[0][2] = item;
room = 0;
