Help with C++

Name: Anonymous 2006-07-16 14:29

I'm learning how to write a roguelike, and it's pretty much the first real programming project i have ever done. I have studied C++ for a bit at school and on my spare time, but i know only the basics, and i thought that programming a simple game would be good learning. I'm trying to make a character creator where you choose a race and a class, then the program rolls your stats, adding different bonuses based on classes and races, but i run into this error:

100 C:\Dev-Cpp\char.c statement cannot resolve address of overloaded function

I'm trying to write the stats to a simple text file, but the program tells me that. What gives?

Ok, i know the code sucks major amounts of ass, bear with me:

char.c contains this:

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include "char.h"

int clear();

int stats();

int main()
{
    character creating;
    cout<<"Creating a new character, choose a race:\n";
    cout<<"1.) Mutant\n2.) Robot\n3.) Human\n";
    cin>>creating.Race;
    clear();
    cout<<"Choose a profession for your character:\n";
    cout<<"1.) Brute\n2.) Gunslinger\n3.) Scientist\n";
    cin>>creating.Class;
    clear();
    cout<<"Choose a name: ";
    cin>>creating.name[256];
    stats();
}

int clear()
{
    system("cls");
}

int stats()
{
    int e = 1;
    int r = 2;
    int t = 3;
    character creating;
    srand((unsigned)time(0));
    if ( creating.Race == e ) //1 is mutant.
    {
         character creating;
         creating.Str = (rand()%5)+(rand()%5)+18;
         creating.Dex = (rand()%5)+(rand()%5)+10;
         creating.Int = (rand()%5)+(rand()%5)+5;
         creating.Tou = (rand()%8)+(rand()%8)+15;
         creating.Sen = (rand()%6)+(rand()%6)+6;
         creating.HP = creating.Str/3 + creating.Tou/2 + (rand()%10);
         creating.SP = creating.Int/2 + creating.Sen/3 + (rand()%10); //sum is 64
    }
    if ( creating.Race == r ) //2 is a space robot, protecting you from the secret of space.
    {
         character creating;
         creating.Str = (rand()%6)+(rand()%6)+6;
         creating.Dex = (rand()%8)+(rand()%8)+15;
         creating.Int = (rand()%5)+(rand()%5)+10;
         creating.Tou = (rand()%5)+(rand()%5)+5;
         creating.Sen = (rand()%5)+(rand()%5)+18; //64 here too
         creating.HP = creating.Str/3 + creating.Tou/2 + (rand()%10);
         creating.SP = creating.Int/2 + creating.Sen/3 + (rand()%10);
    }
    if ( creating.Race == t ) //3 is a MUNDANE HYOOOOOMAAAAN.
    {
         creating.Str = (rand()%5)+(rand()%5)+13;
         creating.Dex = (rand()%5)+(rand()%5)+13;
         creating.Int = (rand()%5)+(rand()%5)+13;
         creating.Tou = (rand()%5)+(rand()%5)+13;
         creating.Sen = (rand()%5)+(rand()%5)+12; //And here too, gotta be balanced mon.
         creating.HP = creating.Str/3 + creating.Tou/2 + (rand()%10);
         creating.SP = creating.Int/2 + creating.Sen/3 + (rand()%10);
    }
    if ( creating.Class == e ) //Brute
    {
         creating.Str++;
         creating.Tou++;
         creating.Int--;
    }
    if ( creating.Class == r ) //Gunslinger
    {
         creating.Sen++;
         creating.Dex++;
         creating.Str--;
    }
    if ( creating.Class == t ) //Scientist
    {
         creating.Int++;
         creating.Tou++;
         creating.Dex--;
    }
    ofstream a_file ( "character.cha" );
    a_file<<"Character data, do not edit\n";
    a_file<<creating.name[256]<<"\n";
    a_file<<creating.Race<<"\n";
    a_file<<creating.Class<<"\n";
    a_file<<creating.Str<<"\n";
    a_file<<creating.Int<<"\n";
    a_file<<creating.Dex<<"\n";
    a_file<<creating.Tou<<"\n";
    a_file<<creating.Sen<<"\n";
    a_file<<creating.HP<<"\n";
    a_file<<creating.SP<<"\n";
    a_file<<"End of file";
    a_file.close;
    cout<<"Creating complete!";
}

char.h contains this:

#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

class character
{
      public:
             char name[256];
             int Race;
             char Class;
            
             int Str;
             int Int;
             int Dex;
             int Tou;
             int Sen;
            
             int HP;
             int SP;
             };
