if statements inside of if statements etc...
March 25, 2001 11:53 AM
I am working on a text game- All I have so far is a battle, but it works great. However, inside the if statements below, if the player chooses to attack, a random number is picked from 1-6. If it''s 6, player misses, else hits. Now, do I continue the battle inside that same if statement or should I somehow start a new if statement at the very bottom. Sorry if this is confusing, just look at the code if you want. (DONT STEAL IT

Um... Dude...
Ever hear of a loop before?
This will execute until either you or your enemy reach zero hit points, or if an escape attempt was successful. You''ll have to check outside the loop whether the player died, killed his enemy, or successfully escaped and handle each accordingly. But a simple conditional will take care of that. Hope this helped you out.

No problem, by the way, make sure escape is set to false before you enter the loop. Otherwise the loop won''t occur. I forgot to add that into my example above, sorry.

I''m getting some errors. It says: escape undeclared identifier and same thing for true. How do I declare these?

try this:
Put these define statements at the top of your source file
#define true 1
#define false 0
declare this variable somewheres near the top too:
int escape=0;

Those worked except I still get this nasty error:
; missing before &&

Um, C is case-sensitive meaning that ''TRUE'' and ''true'' aren''t the same. as for the && error, replace the current while loop with this:
while((player_hp != 0)&&(enemy1_hp !=0)&&(escape != true)){
whats wrong is that you need an extra set of brackets to enclose the entire statement

You need to declare escape as a boolean type and make sure to intialize it to false before you enter and loops that use it as a conditional part (like in my example).
To declare and initialize escape just do this:
That should fix your compile errors.
