for a description of the act function check out the documentation
that comes with CircleMUD. Specifically in the directory
<circlemud>/doc/OLD-DOCS
you'll find a file called comm.doc which describes the act call.
In case that document is outdated, you can always look at the
act function call which is defined in comm.c. How do I know this?
I actually took the time to go look for it myself. It's amazing
what a person can do on their own isn't it?
void act(const char *str, int hide_invisible, struct char_data *ch,
struct obj_data *obj, const void *vict_obj, int type)
Here is what you're passing.
act("$N pulls on the crank of the slot machine.",
FALSE, 0, ch, 0, TO_ROOM);
Your fourth argument is ch. act wants a variable of type struct obj_data*
as the fourth argument, hence your error.
Also, by my count.
grep act\( *.c *.h | wc -l = 470 hits (a little less than a million)
grep act\( *.h is even better revealing only two hits.
comm.h:void perform_act(const char *orig, struct char_data ...
comm.h:void act(const char *str, int hide_invisible, struct ...
