Sorry for the non code lingo, but I am wondering if I can pull a word from an array and use it to get a value from another array.
I am making a simple dodgeball game engine. I want the coaches strategy to pick a certain attribute to base who to throw to. Here is the team array:
//silverbacks
2=>array(
'team_id'=>2,
'name'=>'Silverbacks',
'script'=>'<img src="Team Names Small-14.png" alt="Silverbacks" height="25" width="100">',
'primary color'=> '#4E5A5C',
'secondary color'=> '#C5CDCF',
'coach'=>array(
'name'=>'Baldwin',
'strategies'=>array(
'pick_thrower'=>'worst',
'attribute'=>'rating', <--This is the attribute the coach will use to pick the best player
'pick_dodger'=>'worst',
'dattribute'=>'dodging',
),
),
'players'=>array(
7=>array(
'player_id'=>7,
'name'=>'Carter',
'catching'=>34,
'throwing'=>49,
'dodging'=>21,
'rating'=>65, <-- This is the players rating, is there way to pull this value by having the same word 'rating' in each array, or will I have to do it another way?
'loyalty'=>32,
'speed'=>4.1,
'school'=>'Wheatfield',
'position'=>'C',
'number'=>0,
),
6=>array(
'player_id'=>6,
'name'=>'Arthur',
'catching'=>32,
'throwing'=>35,
'dodging'=>57,
'rating'=>23,
'loyalty'=>92,
'speed'=>4.8,
'school'=>'U. Valley',
'position'=>'R',
'number'=>14,
),
8=>array(
'player_id'=>8,
'name'=>'Kenneth',
'catching'=>34,
'throwing'=>89,
'dodging'=>36,
'rating'=>56,
'loyalty'=>88,
'speed'=>4.8,
'school'=>'U. Valley',
'position'=>'L',
'number'=>2,
),
9=>array(
'player_id'=>9,
'name'=>'S. Salazar',
'catching'=>66,
'throwing'=>54,
'dodging'=>53,
'rating'=>30,
'loyalty'=>76,
'speed'=>5.3,
'school'=>'Sanchito',
'position'=>'R',
'number'=>11,
),
10=>array(
'player_id'=>10,
'name'=>'Sanchito',
'catching'=>30,
'throwing'=>91,
'dodging'=>98,
'rating'=>65,
'loyalty'=>45,
'speed'=>5.5,
'school'=>'Puerto Rico',
'position'=>'L',
'number'=>16,
),
),
)
);
Thanks alot!
