Make sure you use the code tags so it's easier to read. You need a return in parts where you want the code to stop, say after the "You do not have an axe".

The random number check is used much through the code. It's called rand_num or something of the sort.

Ok, what do you mean by code tags? And what does the rand_num have to do with it? I'm still pretty new to coding, though I've learned a lot.



Thanks and Godbless,

Code tags, on the forums: [ code ] (no spaces)
See: http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbforumcode.php

Well you said dice sequence. What do you mean by that?

Ahhhh, now I understand. I want a dice sequence such as if it equals 1 something happens, and 2 then something else happens(or the same, it could be a range), etc.


Thanks

How do you want the dice to be based? Random?

Yes, random please. I intend to use it to determine if a skill is successful by if the dice is such and such then such and such happens.

Here are a few bits of information you might need, number_range is what you want to use to determine a number value between 2 numbers. learn_from_failure and learn_from_sucess are 2 other functions you might like to use. Grep them out to see how to use them, Your on the right track so far.

Ah yes, that's what its called. So you can do something like this. Declare a variable (lets call it rand). Then do something like this:
rand = number_range( 1, 3 )

Then do a case:
switch(rand)
case 1:
  do_stuff_here
  break;
case 2:
  do_more_here
  break;

And so on.

Ahh my favorite Haha.. I am very ... protestant... against certainty in a mud world.. I've got number_range cases everywhere.


And yes.. that's perfect.. but you might want to add a default: case there just incase something very weird happens that causes "rand" to become corrupted/changed
A default in a switch will be used any time nothing else matches.

default:
//something generic happens
break;

Ok, unrelated problem but still critical enough for me to post it here:

I noticed Smaug 1.4a has the trip code in skills.c but I have been unable to add it. I tried and I keep getting these errors on make:

skills.c:3063: error: conflicting types for 'do_trip'
mud.h:4088: error: previous declaration of 'do_trip'

I changed the variable from void trip to void do_trip when I set it in mud.h and db.c and tables.c. What would cause this problem?


Thanks and Godbless,
Longbow

Well the trip function is for mobs to use. What you want to do is create a new function, do_trip for the trip skill, that has checks etc and calls the trip function.

So the only thing I need to do is add a new line in skills.c called void do_trip and paste the code for trip under it?

No, don't copy it. Just add a few checks (with skill percent etc, like the other skills) and then call the function.

Ok, suddenly I cannot see action descs and the like(ie, if something happens in the room a blank black line appears) and it is messing up my MUD. I first noticed it after I put in the bank code located at AFKmud's homepage(www.afkmud.com) and it is driving me up the wall. What might cause this? I'd rather not go back and delete the bank code(took a lot of time to put in) but rather I'd like to just fix the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks and Godbless,
Longbow
