Can this be done?

[Kryllster]

I want to write a block of code that uses case switch, but make it kind of linear something like this =>

 

case 'fight1':
$mob_hp = 30;
// execute more code then carry over $mob_hp to next switch where new // hp is given the name of $mob_hp
break;
case 'fight2':
$mob_hp = 25;
// and so forth till the requirements are met
break;

was just wondering can this be done some way or do I need to send it with the header to the next switch??

 

Hope you understand what Im trying to get at??

Nope, no idea what your trying to do.

Ok maybe some more code then might help explaining =>

<?php
$fight = (!isset($_GET['fight'])) ? 'main' : $_GET['fight'];
switch($fight){
case 'fight1':
$fight = $_POST['fight'];
$hitpoints = 30;
$monster_hp = 30;
$attack = $base_bonus + $weapon_bonus;
$mob_attack = $base_bonus + 3;

$first = mt_rand(1,100);
if($first <= 60){
	$first = "The Cultist Guard attacks first causing $mob_attack points of damage!";
	$hitpoints = $hitpoints - $mob_attack;
	echo "You now have $hitpoints hitpoints left!";
	exit();
}
if($first > 60){
	$first = "You attack first causing $attack points of damage!";
	$mob_hitpoints = $mob_hitpoints - $attack;
	echo "The Cultist Guard has $mob_hitpoints left!";
	exit();
}
header("Location:fight_view.php?fight=fight2&hitpoints=$hitpoints&monster_hp=$monster_hp");
break;
case 'fight2':
$fight = $_POST['fight'];
$hitpoints = 30;
$monster_hp = 30;
$attack = $base_bonus + $weapon_bonus;
$mob_attack = $base_bonus + 3;

if(isset($_POST['fight'])){
$first = mt_rand(1,100);
if($first <= 60){
	$first = "The Cultist Guard attacks first causing $mob_attack points of damage!";
	$hitpoints = $hitpoints - $mob_attack;
	echo "You now have $hitpoints hitpoints left!";
	exit();
}
if($first > 60){
	$first = "You attack first causing $attack points of damage!";
	$mob_hitpoints = $mob_hitpoints - $attack;
	echo "The Cultist Guard has $mob_hitpoints left!";
	exit();
}
header("Location:fight_view.php?fight=fight3&hitpoints=$hitpoints&monster_hp=$monster_hp");
}
else {
	echo "Please Click the Link to continue the fight!";
	exit();
}
break;
 }
}
?>

 

I want to be able to carry over the reduction of hitpoints to the next case or switch what ever you call it but without having to send it like this

 

header("Location:fight_view.php?fight=fight3&hitpoints=$hitpoints&monster_hp=$monster_hp");

 

 

hope that makes it a little more clearer??

Ok, you want a function.

 

function checkfight($fight, $hitpoints=30, $monster_hp=30) {
  switch ($fight) {
    // rest of your code
  }
}

 

Then you need to (within the 'rest of your code part) replace the header calls with for example...

 

checkfight('fight2', $hitpoints, $monster_hp);

 

And to get the entire process started....

 

$fight = (!isset($_GET['fight'])) ? 'main' : $_GET['fight'];
checkfight($fight);

 

This isn't going to wrok straight out of the box because within each case you are redefining some vars...

 

$fight = $_POST['fight'];
$hitpoints = 30;
$monster_hp = 30;
$attack = $base_bonus + $weapon_bonus;
$mob_attack = $base_bonus + 3;

 

You'll need to fix all that but this should get you a good start.

Ok this is where I'm at now and I get a blank page? here is what I have

 

<?php
function checkfight($fight, $hitpoints=30, $monster_hp=30) {
  switch ($fight) {
    $attack = 3;
    $mob_attack = 3;
    $first = mt_rand(1,100);
if($first <= 50){
	echo "<center><b>The Cultist Guard attacks first causing $mob_attack points of damage!</b></center>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<br>";
	$hitpoints = $hitpoints - $mob_attack;
	echo "<table width=\"500\">";
	echo "<td>";
	echo "<center>Your Hitpoints:$hitpoints</center>";
	echo "</td>";
	echo "<td>";
	echo "<center>Monster Hitpoints:$mob_hp</center>";
	echo "</td>";
	echo "</tr>";
	echo "<table>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<center>You now have $hitpoints hitpoints left!</center>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<center>";
	echo "<a href=\"fight_view.php?fight=checkfight('fight2', $hitpoints, $monster_hp);\">Continue The Fight!</a>";
	echo "</center>";
	exit();
}
if($first > 50){
	echo "<center><b>You attack first causing $attack points of damage!</center></b>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<br>";
	$mob_hp = $mob_hp - $attack;
	echo "<table width=\"500\">";

	echo "</tr>";
	echo "<table>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<center>The Cultist Guard has $mob_hp hitpoints left!</center>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<center>";
	echo "<a href=\"fight_view.php?fight=checkfight('fight2', $hitpoints, $monster_hp);\">Continue The Fight!</a>";
	echo "</center>";
	exit();
}
  }
switch('fight2'){
$first = mt_rand(1,100);
if($first <= 50){
	echo "<center><b>The Cultist Guard attacks first causing $mob_attack points of damage!</b></center>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<br>";
	$hitpoints = $hitpoints - $mob_attack;
	echo "<table width=\"500\">";
	echo "<td>";
	echo "<center>Your Hitpoints:$hitpoints</center>";

	echo "<br>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<center>";
	echo "<a href=\"fight_view.php?fight=checkfight('fight2', $hitpoints, $monster_hp);\">Continue The Fight!</a>";
	echo "</center>";
	if($hitpoints <= 0){
		header("Location:mainview.php?show=d4fight_failure");
		exit();
	}
	exit();
}
if($first > 50){
	echo "<center><b>You attack first causing $attack points of damage!</b></center>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<br>";
	$mob_hp = $mob_hp - $attack;
	echo "<table width=\"500\">";
	echo "<td>";
	echo "<center>Your Hitpoints:$hitpoints</center>";

	echo "</td>";
	echo "</tr>";
	echo "<table>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<center>The Cultist Guard has $mob_hp hitpoints left!</center>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<center>";
    echo "<a href=\"fight_view.php?fight=checkfight('fight2', $hitpoints, $monster_hp);">Continue The Fight!</a>";
    echo "</center>";
    if($mob_hp <= 0){
	    header("Location:d4fight1_special.php");
	    exit();
    }
    exit();
}
}
echo "<a href=\"d4fight2_fight.php?fight=fight\">Start The Fight</a>";
$fight = (!isset($_GET['fight'])) ? 'main' : $_GET['fight'];
checkfight($fight);
?>

I don't understand functions very well but I want to learn why is this not showing up?
