Help with my code

I have a small bug, every time I start this program it runs, but it ignores the condition and every number I type in it runs the Kill() function. I need it to run the Kill() function only if 1 is pressed, and the Die() function if 2 is pressed. Here is the code for the Header and the Main.cpp.

Code:

---

//main.cpp
#include <iostream>
//include Killclass.h
#include "Killclass.h"

//initialize the main function
int main()
{        //declare and initialize integers kill and die
        int kill, die;
        kill = 1;
        die = 2;
        //declares Player1 an object
        Player Player1;
        //declares an NPC EvilTaco, an object
        Player EvilTaco;
        //displayes text in red
        std::cout << "Enter 1 to kill the taco, enter 2 to die from the taco: " << std::endl;
        //if statements for dying and killing also, telling to enter a number
        std::cin.ignore();

        if(kill == 1)
        {
                EvilTaco.Kill();
        }
        else
        {
                Player1.Die();
        }

        system( "PAUSE" );
}


//Killclass.h

#include <iostream>

class Player
{
public:
        void Kill() { std::cout << "You have killed the Evil Taco!" << std::endl; }
        void Die() { std::cout << "You have been killed by the Evil Taco!" << std::endl; }
};

If someone can help that would be appreciated,

Thanks.

PS, I'm pretty sure it's the IF Command doing this, I don't think I have the values right.

If you want input from the user, maybe you should read it in or something.

What does READ IT IN mean?

Use, say, cin + >> to obtain input from the user and store said input in a variable of some kind.

Is it at all possible you can give me an example? Unless it is like,

Code:

---

if(cin + >> 1)
{
    EvilTaco.Kill();
}

PS I am a beginner programmer. =)

Code:

---

int what_did_the_user_type_in_anyway;
cin >> what_did_the_user_type_in_anyway;

Ok, thank you.
