heres what i came up with, still not working
the structure
then the attack functionCode://structure to return values struct att fn(); { int hpr; int mpr; int expr; };
Code://attack function int attackm(int hp,int mp,int atck,int def,int exp,int ehp,int emp,int eatck,int edef,int eexp){ int amenu; int cehp=ehp; int chp=hp; int cmp=mp; int cemp=emp; //attack menu while(cehp>0&&chp>0){ system("CLS"); printf("1.Attack\n"); printf("2.Magic\n"); printf("3.Items\n"); printf("4.Run (roll to run)\n"); printf("\n You Enemy"); printf("\n%d/%d HP %d/%d HP",chp,hp,cehp,ehp); printf("\n%d/%d MP %d/%d MP\n",cmp,mp,cemp,emp); scanf("%d",&amenu); switch(amenu){ case 1: system("CLS"); cehp=cehp-atck; if(cehp<=0){ ehp=0; } printf("You do %d damage, enemy has %d HP left\n",atck,cehp); chp=chp-eatck; printf("You take %d damage, you have %d HP left\n",eatck,chp); cont(); break; } if(ehp<=0){ printf("You win!\n"); printf("You gain %d EXP\n!",eexp); exp=exp+eexp; cont(); } } struct att returns; returns.hpr=chp; returns.mpr=cmp; returns.expr=exp; return (returns); }
I still havn't figured it out
//structure to return values
This is trying to be too much. You need to first define the structure, and then make a function that returns one. Like so:Code:struct att fn(); { int hpr; int mpr; int expr; };We have now define what our structure will look like. Now just like making any other function return one type, we make a function that returns this one type. The type of this structure is 'struct foo'. This gives us:Code:struct foo { int bar; int baz; };Now a call to this function might look something like:Code:struct foo myfunction( void ) { struct foo x; /* declare a 'struct foo' instance called x. */ /*...do stuff...*/ return x; }Code:struct foo abc; abc = myfunction( );
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

As your program is written now, you are passing by value:
The value of foo and bar will be placed on the stack and available to your function, but they just that -- values. Changing them in your attack routine will have no effect on the value back in your calling routine.Code:attack(int foo, int bar)
Doing something like this:
won't work either, because you still don't have the address of the ints in your calling routine.Code:attack(int foo, int bar) { int *pfoo = &foo; int *pbar = &bar; ... }
You have to pass by reference (at least that's what they used to call it when I started programming):
Instead of calling attack like this:Code:attack(int *foo, int *bar) { *foo = whatever value you're setting for foo *bar = whatever value you're setting for bar ... }
You'd call it like this:Code:int foo = 0; int bar = 100; attack(foo, bar);
You can apply the same technique to structures. Think of the structure as a container that will nicely hold all of your values. That way, you pass your attack routine a pointer to the structure, manipulate the values inside the structure, and return.Code:int foo = 0; int bar = 100; attack(&foo, &bar);
And finally, as someone said early, you probably want to take a more object oriented approach -- that way you can encapsulate methods (i.e. "routines") along with the data in an object. The objects will represent various entities in your game.
Hope this has helped somewhat....
