How is it possible to get string objects in C++ with darkGDK... or is there some other way to emulate string objects with GDK?
Thanks for your help...

You can use the <string> library, or you can use a c-string.

<string> method
Make sure you have included <string> in your source file


C-string


I recommend the c-string method, as it is most compatible with DarkGDK.

Okay, this is what I have now... I can pass the C-style string to the function but I can't print it...

I declared the string like this:
char String[10] = "Text";

This is the call to the function:
attack (Pstren, String[10]);

This is the function:
float attack( float Pstren, char s) {
dbText ( 0, 0, s );
return Pstren;
}

No doubt,

If you look at your function declaration: "float attack( float Pstren, char s)", the 2nd param is a 'char', a c-style string is not a single char, but an array of chars thus you must pass the pointer to a char, not a char itself.

Not to mention you're passing "attack (Pstren, String[10]);" which will be undefined memory.
