how would i fix that if you can tell me that would rock thank you.... i have another problem with getting copyover to work so if you could help with that one also thanks

Being that you've neither identified which codebase you're using or pasted any parts of the code, any replies to this could be merely pure speculation and likely will not help you with your problem.

its a rom heavly modified to many codes pertaning to a wearable light to post on so i cant really track it down so im hopeing someone on here can help the copyover thing can wait though

ok i figured out this error but so i dont spam here is another error....

thanks for the help

The obvious error in that block is that you don't have a closing bracket for your if block at the very end:

if (victim->position == victim->start_pos .....) {
strcat(buf, victim->long_descr);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
} /* this is what was missing */

return;
