thechris Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Ok I'm switching the game I'm developing from XML files over to using an online database, but what I did in XML was time consuming to do so I was looking for an easier way while I make the transition. Anyway here is what I'm doing: its a fighting game so I have a table for the character, another table for the attacks each character can only use certain attacks and some attacks can be used by all the characters, so I was wondering what the easiest way would be to make it so that when I'm loading the characters it lists only the attacks that they can use. I thought about making a field in the characters table and then putting the ID of the attacks that they can use, or the opposite and putting a field in the attacks with the ID's of the characters that can use the attack. That was kind of confusing I apologize, but I can't really explain it any better.
