Easier Way?

supanoob · May 15, 2007

ok so basically i have a 10x10 grid and only 29 of the squares make up my path, now i need a way to make it so they cant wonder off the path. Now i have it so the arrows only show up in the directions they can travel but with the back button and refresh they can get off the path still. All i want to do is if they are not on one of the 29 coors it shows a random event and take them back to the start of the grid.

Any advice on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

what code do you have so far!

also can to re-phrase the question

supanoob · May 15, 2007

well the code is on several pages so posting it all would be too much but basically this is a simpler question with an example.

i have the following table (only bigger)

1,1 -

1,2 -

1,3

2,1 -

2,2 -

2,3

3,1 -

3,2 -

3,3

ok so say i have a path that goes along 1,1 - 1,2 - 2,2 - 2,3 and i only wanted people to go onto those squares. Is there an easy way to throw an error out of someone somehow managed to get onto one of the other squares?

as it stands i have it so if they were on 1,1 they would only be able to go East and if they were on 1,2 They could move West and South, but if they double clicked south they would end up on 3,2 and that is one of the squares i dont want them on.

i wrote a maze awhile back and had a problem with member double clicking..

my work around was .. erm...

i think..

i set a session and set a hidden field to the same value..

ie

$lastcode = get the last hidden field code

$X = randomsomething; \\<-- generated on each page load

if($lastcode != session['code'])

{

//go back to start;

}

session['code'] = $x;

hidden field = $x;

i hope that makes sence

supanoob · May 15, 2007

it doesnt really >< the last code thing would help its just i dont wanna have to go through and make 1 long if statement of about 71 things for all the spaces that aren't a path.

MadTechie · May 15, 2007

your only add that code once! (well i guess it depends how you set your up)

your have to post some code..

this is the code i have for the main page and the map

MadTechie · May 16, 2007

how to do know when they are off the path?

is it the hardcoded stuff..?

supanoob · May 16, 2007

i dont know if there off the path thats the problem the only way i can think of doing it is if i have one long if statment asking if the coords are equal to the NON-PATH coords.

MadTechie · May 16, 2007

personally i wouldn't hard code the path.. it will create more problems later!

supanoob · May 16, 2007

so how would you do it?
