Question

struct stVitals                       // Entity vitals
{
    int str;
    int xp;
    int batk;
};

int doAttack(stVitals Aggressor, stVitals Defender)    // Calculate attack results
{
    doHit(getATK(Aggressor), getDEF(Defender), getDDG(Defender), getLVL(Aggressor), getLVL(Defender));
}

int doHit([...]                       // Calculate damage

int getATK(stVitals sourcemob)        // Calculate attack value
{
    int output = ((sourcemob.str * getLVL(sourcemob.xp)) * 0.1) + sourcemob.batk;
    return output;
}

int getLVL(int xp)                    // Return level from XP
{
    return (xp * 0.001);
}

Gives the following error:

ERROR: Conversion from 'int' to non-scalar type 'stVitals' requested

I work with ints within various stVital instances all around my program in this manner with no problems… what’s going on here that I’m missing?

edit: It is hollering about the first line inside of getATK

Answer 1

What’s missing here is the code in which you call getATK. Presumably, you’re incorrectly passing an int argument rather than an stVitals argument when you call that function.
