    Just checking - you did mean to comment out that last bit, right? (Lines 261-306.)

    Right. And for further clarification, the specific portion this is intended for is lines 123-179.

    First, can you be more specific as to the problem? Does it not compile, and if not, what does it say? Or, does it compile but not run, and if not, what is it supposed to be doing and what is it not doing.

    Also, why do you have

    boolean battle()
    {return false}

    inside your main function? Are you trying to define a function, or are you trying to decalre a variable?

    I just realised - it's quite simple. You need to have battle() outside the <i>public static void main(String args[]) throws java.lang.NoSuchMethodError{
    ....
    }</i> section. For example;

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->class rpg {

    public boolean battle()
    {return false;}

    public static void main(String args[]) throws java.lang.NoSuchMethodError{
    ...
    <!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    EDIT: oh, and the return false needed a semicolon. This sorts that particular problem...

    SECOND EDIT: The code function takes out tabs. That's a major pain in the butt.

    Why do you capitalize "spawned" and "behind" in "The imp Spawned Behind you?" That's incorrect and the pure wrongness will spill out and break the code. That said I'd like to know what the exact problem is before trying to find you a solution.

    Ah, I forgot to take out my hopeful(but still didn't work) tempfix on that method. As I said, it doesn't recognize the boolean as a method, like it should. Here's the exact error(yeah, I know. I explained it as much as it did.)

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->rpg.java:125: ';' expected
            boolean battle(first.name,second.name.name){ {<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    It motions for the semicolon to go after battle. Not battle(), but battle. As if I was just declaring it as a regular boolean: boolean battle;. Yeah. GAH.

    Check back to the battle system area, I've updated the code.

    Could it be battle(first.name,second.name.name) possibly?

    When defining a method that takes parameters you declare the parameters' class and the variable names they will be recognized by in the method.

    Ex: (battle takes two Character objects as parameters)
    public boolean battle(Character person1, Character person2)

    And then when you call battle you specify* the specific objects that it will take as parameters.

    Ex: (battle is called with the Character objects johnny and susie as parameters)
    battle(johnny, susie)

    Then the method (function) will run its course, referring to johnny as person1 and susie as person2.

    I'm pretty sure its still the same problem that 0blique and Snidely mentioned. You cannot declare a method from within annother method (unless I've forgotten too much java). In this case, you cannot declare battle() inside of main(). Therefore the compiler thinks that you are trying to declare a plain old boolean scalar variable. The solution is still the same: move the battle() method declaration outside of main().

    Edit: Also what TranquilChaos says. You seem to be confused between a method declaration and a method call.

    It may be that Snidely is correct.

    Its not the second.name.name. That was me typing randomly.

    I'm a very personal coder atm- plan to get more proffessional over time.

    Thanks for your help, folks.
