Ive tried this a couple ways now and it acts strangely either way

int roll(int sides)
{
  return (rnd()*sides)+1;
}



void attackType()
{
    switch(roll(2))
      {
        case 1:(swingType = 0);
        break;
        case 2:(swingType = 1);
        break;
      }
}

void location()
{
    switch(swingType)
      {
        case 0: switch(roll(6))
                  {
                    case 1:
                    break;
                    case 2: (hitLocation = 14);
                    break;
                    case 3: (hitLocation = 9);
                    break;
                    case 4: (hitLocation = 11);
                    break;
                    case 5: (hitLocation = 12);
                    break;
                    case 6: (hitLocation = 13);
                    break;
                  }
         break;
         case 1: switch(roll(6))
                  {
                    case 1: (hitLocation = 6);
                    break;
                    case 2: (hitLocation = 8);
                    break;
                    case 3: (hitLocation = 9);
                    break;
                    case 4: (hitLocation = 15);
                    break;
                    case 5: (hitLocation = 16);
                    break;
                    case 6: (hitLocation = 17);
                    break;
                  }
          break;
      }
}

i have a key press doing this

Code: Select all

attackType();
location();


trace("swing"+intToStr(swingType));
trace("location"+intToStr(hitLocation));

when swing type 0 comes up it gives location values from swing 1s case.

did the same thing with nested ifs.

Even though you've made a little mistake ( swingType = 0, case 1 shouldn't have a break ), it looks like you've discovered a parser bug!

Change the location function to this for now.

Code: Select all

void location()
{
  int C = roll(6);

  switch(swingType)
  {
    case 0: switch(C)
    {
      case 1:
      case 2: hitLocation = 14; break;
      case 3: hitLocation =  9; break;
      case 4: hitLocation = 11; break;
      case 5: hitLocation = 12; break;
      case 6: hitLocation = 13; break;
    }
    break;

    case 1: switch(C)
    {
      case 1: hitLocation =  6; break;
      case 2: hitLocation =  8; break;
      case 3: hitLocation =  9; break;
      case 4: hitLocation = 15; break;
      case 5: hitLocation = 16; break;
      case 6: hitLocation = 17; break;
    }
    break;
  }
}

Hopefully Ville can fix the problem.

I tried to reproduce the problem but failed to do so. When does it occur?

I set swingtype to zero and always get the first switch-statement, and the second when setting it to one.

Kjell sent me an example that made the bug obvious. It is now fixed and checked in, and also the beta release is updated.
