    help

    This dumb fighting system. It seems like I'm going in circles. I have the same problem I started with, but now for a different reason. If I come back to fight the man again it says hes already dead. Occasionally his hp will start at something like 35 or some wierd number.

    Code:
    	case 'f':
    	do{
    	    cout<<"1-man\n";
    	    cout<<"2-goblin\n";
    	    cin>>monster;
    	    if(monster=='1'){
    	       cout<<"You encounter a man";	
    	       finalcom=20;
    	}
    	}while(monster<1 || monster>4);
    	while(finalcom>0){              //fight
    	    fight=rand()%5+1;
    	    cout<<"How are you going to combat you opponent?";
    	    cin>>combat;
    	    if(combat=='a'){                //attack
    	       fcom=(((strength*3)+agility)/fight);
    	       finalcom=mhp1-fcom;
    	       mhp1=finalcom;
    	}
    	if(finalcom>0){
    	    cout<<"His hp is"<<finalcom<<"\n";
    	}
    	}
    	cout<<"\nHe is dead\n";                    //death

    How do you edit the variables in a structure? If this is how you do it then why won't it cout?
    Code:
    	bsword brsword;
    	brsword.bsi=1;
    	if (brsword.bsi=='1'){
    	cout<<"Bronze Sword\n";
    	}

    Please help

    You're probably not re-initializing the health values.

    Also:
    Code:
    brsword.bsi=1;
    	if (brsword.bsi=='1'){
    	cout<<"Bronze Sword\n";
    	}
    You are comparing it to the ASCII value of 1, not the numerical value of 1. If you want to compare it to the NUMBER 1, just type 1 and not '1'

    How do I re-initialize them if I'm not already?

    Just make sure you're actually setting the variable at some point.

    Code:
    	    if(monster=='1'){
    	       cout<<"You encounter a man";	
    	       finalcom=20;
    	}
    That is where I re-initialize it.
