What does the error "Lvalue required in function Player::Fight"? I''m using a Borland C++ 5.5 compiler I downloaded off the internet.

Did you forget to grab the docs for it?

Lvalue means left value. You most likely have a variable name spelled wrong somewhere. Look for a place where you called a class function or used an array; those will usual give Lvalue errors rather than "unknown identifier"

What happens if you call a function that returns something without an lvalue?

An lvalue is a variable which can be the receptor of an assignment. In the statement a = 10;, a is an lvalue. 10 is not, so you can''t do 10 = a; or 10 = 5;

Thanks to Kylotan for the idea!

Maybe you did something like this:

      3 = MyVar;// or4 = 4;  

If you did the above, in MSVC++, you would get:

  error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value  

Hope that helps

EDIT: Same thing Oluseyi is talking about, except with the nice source thingy.

Ok, I looked over the code and there was nothing like that in the code. There is alot of variables being changed, but nothing backwards..

does the debug tell you which line your having a problem with? maybe you can check that line or the line before it. or post that line for us to see

You can''t assign to a const "variable" either.

did you use something like this maybe?

#define number 5

number = 5
