RPG Problems

I am working on a text-RPG just like a lot of peoplej**, and am having trouble on a certain part, and I am using switches. I have a ninja attack, but when the attack sequence happens, it''ll say press any key to continue, i do have system("PAUSE"); in it, but my others work, here''s the code starting from where the fight sequence begins: cout << "A ninja walks in and trys to attack! What should you do?\n"; cout << "1]Attack\n2]Run\n3]Defend\n"; cin >> answer; switch (answer) { case 1: cout << "The ninja trys to stab you, but dodge the attack, and graze his face.\n"; break; case 2: cout << "You try to run away, but the ninja stabs you in the back with his sword.\n"; cout << "You die..and GAME OVER!\n"; return 0; break; case 3: cout << "You are in defense! You await the ninja to attack.\n"; break; default: cout << "Invalid Input Value!\n"; } if (answer == 3) cout << "Your defense is weak....the ninja runs at you and slices your leg." " You scream in pain, then the ninja, standing over your sliced leg, " "stabs you in the chest, driving the sword right through the heart. " "You faint, and die! The end...and Game Over! The Game will end in a few seconds."; system("PAUSE"); return 0; if (answer == 1) cout << "Ninja''s HP is now: 23/34.\nThe ninja runs to you, raising his sword high up in the " "sky,\nand strikes, causing major damage! Your HP is now: 34/41\n"; " What to do now?\n"; "Choices:\t1]Attack\n2]Run\n"; cin >> answer; switch (answer) { case 2: cout << "You ran away, but lost: 100 gold, 1 potion, and 40 experience points.\n"; break; case 1: cout << "With some major damage done, you think to yourself....should I try to run, or fight.\n"; break; default: cout << "Invalid Input Value!\n"; } if (answer == 2) cout << "Nice job jack...all well....at least you have a weapon.\n"; if (answer == 1) cout << "Do you want to run, or no?\n"; cout << "1©Yes\n2©No\n"; cin >> answer; switch (answer) { case 2: cout << "The ninja sneaks up behind you and stabs you in the back while you think....think faster!\n"; system ("PAUSE"); break; case 1: cout << "The ninja tries to sneak up behind you, but thinking quickly, you roundhouse him, and runs away.\n"; break; default: cout << "Wrong Input Value!\n"; } system("PAUSE"); return 0; } The output is: The ninja trys to stab you, but dodge the attack, and graze his face. Please press any key to continue..... Can anyone help me?? If you care about her/him, you''''ll listen If you love her/him, you''''ll heal his/her wounds If you like her/him, you''''ll do all of the above, and help her/him in need A person who cares is a person who never speaks

Using ''void'' just tells the compiler that this function does not return a result unlike :

int Add(int A, int B)
{
return A+B;
}

Unless DevC is different from normal your header files just end in ''.h'' not ''.hpp''.

I''d suggest getting hold of a good C/C++ book and reading through the first few chapters.

One I used is Tony Royce''s ''Programming in C'', coming from a basic/pascal background a few years ago.

Ok, thanks. I could do that or something I just found out. If gamerunning = false, use the EOF; flag. Also, how do I pause the program until any key is pressed?

Thanks

Wheres the any key?

enter this: system("PAUSE"); and if you want it to end, type: return 0; at the end. Here''s an example:

  #include <iostream>main(){ system ("PAUSE");    return 0;}

and don''t forget about the semicolon''s and the quotes.

Ok, since I redid my whole source for my project, I need help with the voids. I have a void above the int main thing, and where the int main thing, I put void start(); *void start is the void above the int main() thing*, and nothing shows, if no one understands me, I''ll post the source*ain''t nothing much anyways*

    #include <iostream.h>#include <fstream.h>#include <stdlib.h>#include <time.h>#include <windows.h>#include <conio.h>#include "class.h"#include "head.h"int answer;void start(){  cout << "Welcome to Fatal Consenquences.  To get help on how";  cout << " to run this program, press 1 and hit enter, to start";  cout << " a new game, press 2 and hit enter, to load a game,";  cout << " press 3 and hit enter.\n";            cin >> answer;            switch (answer){    case 1:        cout << "Type in a number, unless stricted otherwise, and press enter.\n";    break;    case 3:        cout << "Sorry!  No Loading System Up Yet!\n";    break;    case 2:        cout << "Got to get it set up, hold on!";    break;    default:        cout << "Invailid Input Value!";    break;if (answer == 1 || answer == 2 || answer == 3)void start();  };};int main(int argc, char *argv[]){  void start();  system("PAUSE");	  return 0;}

I also got a void.h, class.h, but those ain't got nothing to do with the problem*note: in head.h, it just has void start();

Your return type is void. You do not type the return type when calling the function. void just means that you are not returning anything from the function. Just because you have a void return type, does not mean you call the function any differently.

I recommend getting a better book on C++. You might want to try Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C++", which you can download for free here.

Thanx. So I just take out the return 0; or keep it in?
