Simplfy If and If else statements with vectors

[damian519]

Ok, so my teacher told me to simplify all these if and if else statements using vectors, but i have no idea how to do that. In my game i have 11 dungeons...so you can imagine how lengthy my code is!. Can someone help me please?!

  void Dungeon1()
	{
		srand ((unsigned)time(0));
		Monsters Monster_Dungeon1;
		Monster_Dungeon1.lvl = rand() % 10 + 1;
	if (Monster_Dungeon1.lvl == 1)
	{
		cout << "A lvl 1 Monster has appeared!";
		Monster_Dungeon1.hp = 10;
		Monster_Dungeon1.Monster_Strength = 5;
		Monster_Dungeon1.defense = 0;
		Monster_Dungeon1.money = 5;
	}
	else if (Monster_Dungeon1.lvl == 2)
	{
		cout << "\nA lvl 2 Monster has appeared!";
		Monster_Dungeon1.hp = 10;
		Monster_Dungeon1.Monster_Strength = 5;
		Monster_Dungeon1.defense = 0;
		Monster_Dungeon1.money =10;
	}
	else if (Monster_Dungeon1.lvl == 3)
	{
		cout << "\nA lvl 3 Monster has appeared!";
		Monster_Dungeon1.hp = 15;
		Monster_Dungeon1.Monster_Strength = 5;
		Monster_Dungeon1.defense = 0;
		Monster_Dungeon1.money = 20;
	}
	else if (Monster_Dungeon1.lvl == 4)
	{
		cout << "\nA lvl 4 Monster has appeared!";
		Monster_Dungeon1.hp = 20;
		Monster_Dungeon1.Monster_Strength = 5;
		Monster_Dungeon1.defense = 0;

	}
	else if (Monster_Dungeon1.lvl == 5)

[vlad from moscow]

I think he meant that all settings for a Monster should be stored in a vector or an array of type Monster

[mutexe]

yea, you need a vector of Dungeons, and each Dugeon should contain a vector of DungeonLevels by the looks of it.

then iterate over the dungeons and inside this iterate over the levels within that dungeon.

I still don't understand, but can someone please guide me there? Like can you guys give me something to start off with? Because i'm still kind of clueless when using vectors. Or maybe using a map will be better? Thanks!
