Note: C++ does not support default-int' #include <iostream> using namespace std; struct stats{ float HP; }stats; struct character{ stats HP; }; Why is it giving me the above error messages? I don't see anything wrong, that's all the code there is by the way so the error must be there. It's driving me insane.

You need:

struct stats{
float HP;
};

I feel like such an enormous retard right now, the problem was so simple, I was trying to declare objects of type stats with another object of type stats. As for why I need that well it's a long story ;). Send me a pm we can be buddies.
