I'm attempting to write a text based game and make a save function however I am having trouble sending the player to the saveGame function.
The line causing the error is near the bottom, I've put an comment saying ERROR HERE at the line. And did my best to make it noticable in the gameLoop

I get error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments
I'm having trouble figure it out any help would be greately appreciated.
