My text based game. One problem with it[solved]

I have finally quit looking for spoonfed tutorials and got down and dirty. I made the simple game in Dev-C++, a c/C++ compiler. It runs very smooth but when it gets to a certain point, it does the imput and it is supposed to run a different scenario for three different inputs. When it gets here, it runs all three. I will try to add the exe and the code here.code-
#include <cstdio>
int main() {
char* n;
printf("welcome, type your name:");//greeting 1
scanf("%s",&n);//get name
printf("hello %s", &n);//greeting specified to player
printf("welcome to zombie takeover. where do you want to go:city-type 1, country-type 2:");//tell user choices
{
int p ,a ,b, c, d ,z;//int
("p=%d");//what p equals
scanf("%d",&p); //choose area
if(p=1)printf("welcome to the city.");
("a=%d");
printf("eek!!zombie. type 1 to play dead, type 2 to fight with your fists, type 3 to scream and get the final cop's attention.");
scanf("%d",&a);
if(a=1)printf("uhoh, he saw you breathing and forced you to join him as a zombie");
if(a=2)printf("you got lucky...He forced some bleeding but you defeated him");
if(a=3)printf("the cop beat the zombie...but got hurt bad in the process, he cannot fight anymore.");
printf("please close now");
scanf("%d",&z);
}
}

in the last part of your code you are syaing if (a=3). that is basically assigning "3" to a. as well as 1 and 2 above it. what you want to do is use the equivalency operator. so - if (a==3)

weird, tested the link and it didn't work, I'll write a link to the actual exe. i exported to html. I'll edit instead of spam it.
That was me up there.
But once you correct that it should work just fine for you. But I only looked briefly, so there may be some other error I missed.

Your main problem is that you are not actually really using c++.
You use raw char arrays/pointers and printf/scanf for input output. Thats bad, these functions aren't very friendly and can cause some problems.
Most people use strings to represent text and cin and cout for i/o.
cout is for output. We point the arrows at the cin( << ). (you will see what I mean by arrows )
cin is for input. We point its arrows at the variable( >> ).
Here is an example:
Using cout and strings:
Using cin:
Your code cleaned up a little:
We use 2 equals signs together to see if 2 values are equal. When you use one equal sign, it sets the variable on the left to the value on the rigth. Even in a "if" statement.
So
Will always print 1, whatever x was before...

#include <iostream>#include <string>using namespace std;int main(){ string input; cout << "Type something.\n"; // char someCharArray[100]; // like scanf("%s", someCharArray ); cin >> input; cout << "You typed: " << input << ".\n"; string enter; cout << "Press enter...\n"; cin >> enter; // wait for user to press enter}Your code cleaned up a little:
#include <iostream>#include <string>using namespace std;int main(){ string name; // we give variables their full names cout << "welcome, type your name:"; cin >> name; cout << "hello " << name << "\n"; // greeting specified to player cout << "welcome to zombie takeover. where do you want to go:city-type 1, country-type 2:";//tell user choices int input; cin >> input; if( input == 1 ) // see below for why there are 2 equals signs { cout << "welcome to the city.\n"; } else { cout << "eek!!zombie. type 1 to play dead, type 2 to fight with your fists, type 3 to scream and get the final cop's attention.\n"; cin >> input; if( input == 1 ) { cout << "uhoh, he saw you breathing and forced you to join him as a zombie\n"; } if( input == 2 ) { cout << "you got lucky...He forced some bleeding but you defeated him\n"; } if( input == 3 ) { cout << "the cop beat the zombie...but got hurt bad in the process, he cannot fight anymore.\n"; } } // end else block cout << "please close now"; string enter; cin >> enter; // wait for user to press enter}We use 2 equals signs together to see if 2 values are equal.

So
if( x = 1 ){ cout << x << "\n";}Will always print 1, whatever x was before...
