I don't think you understood what he was saying.
At this point "ch" means nothing.
It is a variable, and nothing more.
When you do something like:
GET_LEVEL(whatever_variable_is_here) = LVL_IMP;
it turns into:
(whatever_variable_is_here)->player.level = LVL_IMP;
In this scenerio your using the player's structure and I called it
"whatever_variable_is_here".
