variable being set to 1 :/

[mobat]

I have a part of my code which reads:

        else if (response1 == "tomahawk" && tomahawk.amount > 0)
        {
            if (monster.fight)
            {

                cout << "1";
            }
            else
            {
                cout << "\nYou cannot use this when not in a fight!\n\n\n";
            }
        }

monster.fight is set to 0 from another part of my code.

After:

else if (response1 == "tomahawk" && tomahawk.amount > 0)
        {

monster.fight is 0, however when the program runs this next part of code:
if (monster.fight)

monster.fight suddenly is equal to 1. How do I fix this?

Where did you get that idea, that is, how did you determine this?

[mobat]

I dont understand by "what did you determine this"?

[Acr]

He means 'how do you know monster.fight is actually 0?'

@ OP: What part of your code is supposed to set "monster.fight" to 0? Please post that part of your code in your next entry.

[mobat]

monster.fight is inside a class which reads :

class monster{
  public:
 int health, fight;
  } monster;

Int my void initialization is specefied that monster.fight = 0 and this initialize runs in the beginning of the code. There is nowhere in the code where monster.fight is being set to 1 at all, it just happens.

Post the code.

Heap corruption?

Or possibly you're just mistaken?

moorecm is right, we need to see more code.

[Computergeek01]

Is "monster.fight" set to anything in the constructor? Because that if loop should return true on anything except 0.

[moorecm]

Are you sure your testing the right executable? I've made this mistake before: copying an executable from the wrong path to a test environment and couldn't figure out why I didn't see my latest changes. Did you try a clean build?

[mobat]

Got it to work!

And the flaw was...?
