I just finished up some last parts to the game. I run it and one of the options on the main menu is to view your stats.
So you type stats in and I end up with this error:
Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.

So I'm trying to develop a Main Menu for my game...trouble is that the hero's name doesn't display correctly. Can't figure this one out..
I created a save with all the info in it including the name of the hero. Choosing either Create or Load will display a blank for the name either way. So I'm assuming that my Hero class is incorrect in some way.
MainMenu.cs using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace TextBasedGame
{
public class MainMenu
{
Options data = new Options();
Hero myhero;
string answer;
public static string myheroName;
bool heroName = false;
public MainMenu()
{
Console.Title = "[Title]";
myhero = new Hero();
Hero.Initialize(myhero);
do
{
Console.Clear();
Console.WriteLine();
Console.Write(@"
_____________________________
Create
Load
Quit
_____________________________");
Console.WriteLine();
answer = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine();
switch (answer)
{
case "Quit":
case "quit":
Console.Clear();
Console.WriteLine("Goodbye");
Environment.Exit(0);
break;
case "Load":
case "load":
data.Load(myhero);
break;
case "Create":
case "create":
Console.WriteLine("Choose a name for your hero.");
Console.WriteLine();
myheroName = Console.ReadLine();
heroName = true;
if (heroName == true)
{
GameState gamestate = new GameState();
}
break;
}
}
while (heroName == false);
}
}
}
Stats.cs - the {0} displays a blank instead of hero.Id public class Stats
{
public static void PrintStats(Hero hero)
{
Console.Clear();
Console.Write(@"

Hero.cs public class Hero : Character
{
public List<string> items;
public static string myheroName = MainMenu.myheroName;
public Hero()
{
items = new List<string>();
}
public static void Initialize(Hero hero)
{
hero.Id = myheroName;
Options.cs - the loading part of it hero.CurrentHealth = int.Parse(file.ReadLine());
hero.MaxHealth = int.Parse(file.ReadLine());
hero.CurrentMagic = int.Parse(file.ReadLine());
hero.MaxMagic = int.Parse(file.ReadLine());
hero.Strength = int.Parse(file.ReadLine());
hero.Defense = int.Parse(file.ReadLine());
hero.Exp = int.Parse(file.ReadLine());
hero.Gold = int.Parse(file.ReadLine());
hero.PhysicalDamage = int.Parse(file.ReadLine());
hero.Id = file.ReadLine();
When I choose to load a save it ask me to choose a name, but isn't it already defined when I chose to load my game? If I do choose a new name, that name will be displayed instead of whats in my save file. How do I fix this?
