All that I already know... :) My question is what would the conditional
look like to compare "testdummy" to the value that's taken from
GET_NAME(vict)?
if (GET_NAME(vict) == 'testdummy')
doesn't work... Ya... this is definitely a newbie C question... I better
do this one by myself without anymore bother... Thanks for your help,
though! =)
