Basic ASCII game trouble

leadergld (13)
Hello community. I am trying to program a basic text based game based on what I can remember from high school classes, and I'm stuck on a certain part. I've searched the internet and my old textbook, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Excuse me if I describe things incorrectly, it's been about 5 years and I'm a bit rusty.

The problem is in the random enemy encounter, in function battle(). My goal is to first determine the number of monsters that appear, which is value mcount and should be between 1-8, then assign the variables cmonsters[0] to cmonsters[7] a value based on the values of mapinfo[clvl][26] to mapinfo[clvl][33], where clvl is the map the character is currently on. It shouldn't assign any more variables to cmonsters than mcount. If you compile this and are on the first map in the game (clvl 0), when you get in a random encounter by walking around with the w, a, s, and d keys, it should assign the numbers 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, or 88 for the number of cmonsters equal to mcount, but seems to assign them to 0 about 4 out of 5 times.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this, and would appreciate any help greatly. I put a line of *'s in the area that seems to be problematic [ line 193 of the second post, in function battle() ]. I'm going to have to put it in two posts, its too long. Thank you for looking.

Please use codetags. There is absolutely no way I am going to try to read that without indentation or highlighting.

Thank you, I knew there must be some way to do that, but couldn't find it on the basic FAQ, not to mention it was about 3 in the morning when I was posting. I appreciate it, and now I can say that I think the problem lies on line 193 of the second post. I'm sorry the box is stretched so far, but I am a very basic programmer and I obviously don't code in the most concise way. Also, some of the indentation seemed to get semi altered, but not in what I consider an overly frustrating way.. sorry about this, I don't know why.

Line 196: rn=rand()%33+26;

If I correctly understand what you're trying to accomplish there, you want to generate a random number from 26 to 33.

That line is generating a random number from 0-32, then adding 26 to that, so your variable rn can range from 26-58.

What you probably want instead is rn=rand()%8+26;, which will give you an rn ranging from 26 to 33.

That is exactly what I was trying to accomplish, and it now works perfectly. Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it greatly.

Post the code, I wanna play the game, lol....... ;)
chrisname (7395)
He has.
oghmaosiris (157)
Oh. Well It was missing a function, so I thought there was another cpp file that had it or something.
