omg....

i opened up my game code, and the whole thing was gone just a bunch of crap code liek this

Code:

---

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <vcl.h>
#pragma hdrstop
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
        try
        {
                Application->Initialize();
                Application->Run();
        }
        catch (Exception &exception)
        {
                Application->ShowException(&exception);
        }
        catch (...)
        {
                try
                {
                        throw Exception("");
                }
                catch (Exception &exception)
                {
                        Application->ShowException(&exception);
                }
        }
        return 0;
}

WTF IS WRONG HELP

What are you talking about??!

I'm guessing you've overwritten one of your source files by mistake... oh well... I'm sure you've got a back-up copy? :)

just found one hehe :) but i am haveing a little trouble with this new battle system i want to implment heres the code and below it is what i want it to do, and what it dose now.

Code:

---

if (x > 90)

while (knighthealth > 0)
{
if(userhealth <= 0)
        {
                userhealth = 0;
                cout << "\nYou have been slayed in battle!\n";
                cout << "Press any key to continue...\n";
                getch();
                return 0;
        }

cout << "You engage an Enemy\n";

cout << "Strike (1)        Run(2)\n\n";
cin >> combat;

switch (combat)
{
case 1 :
                cout << "\nYou attack, and do " << userattack <<" damage.\n\n";
                knighthealth = knighthealth - userattack;
                cout << "\nBlack Knight attacks, does "<< knightattack <<" Damage.\n";
                userhealth = userhealth - knightattack;
                getch();
break;
case 2 :
                cout << "\nBlack Knight attacks, does "<< knightattack <<" Damage.\n";
                userhealth = userhealth - knightattack;
                getch();
                User_Location_X++;
                User_Location_Y++;
break;


}

if (knighthealth <= 0)
{
        cout << "\nYou have defeated a Black Knight.\n";
        cout << "You gain "<< knightexp << " Exp and "<<knightgold<<" Gold.\n";
        battle = 0;
        getch();

        userexp = userexp + knightexp;
        usergold = usergold + knightgold;
        knighthealth = knightmaxhealth;
}

}}
while(knighthealth!=1);
return 0;}

ok what it dose, is you hit 1, you enagge battle, that works fine, then you choose agin, but once he dies, i want it tto go back into normal moving around modd, you just continulsy keep battleing, and that is not what i want. When you hit 2, the knight only attacks you, then you go to battleing again, i want the battle to end, and then back to the normal walking around "mode"


if you can help i'd appericate it, this is just the first step in implmenting a majoir battle system so i need this to work without any kinks

As far as what you asked, if you could attach the whole cpp so that i may compile/run it, it would be easier for me to debug it.

Just a few things in there:

Code:

---

knighthealth = knighthealth - userattack;

---

This code works, but it can be done better, with shorter statments:

Code:

---

knighthealth -= userattack;

---

Since your on this section, now might be a good time to add a catch for bad input when selecting 1 or 2. An example can be found in the "little problem" thread.

By return to normal walking mode, i assume you mean you want it to return to the player state before the battle? Say i walk to x pos 10 and y pos 10 right before i fight, i would be in that mode, but at say x pos 11 and y pos 9?

I fixed the problem, it was a mistake with were the if statment should be
