Need help with variables.

That's supposed to make it so that you have to have under 50 "tired" and over 500 "money." If you have 1 gun, it's supposed to give you better odds.

What it does is pretty much just go off on its own thing. Any suggestions?

Come on, anyone?

[deltatsunami]

wow, your code is so messy. Why don't you use switch...case statements.

Tell us more specifically what you want to accomplish and then we'll (or at leats I'll ) help.

Okay, in the game, I want the player to have the option to rob a bank. When you try it without 1 of the "gun" variable, I want 6 random numbers to be generated, all going to a different scene inside the movieclip and taking away/adding to variables. To do this, I want the player to need at least 500 "money" and energy to be less than or equal to 50. I want four of these five tries to take away 500 from the "money" variable and add 15 to the "day" variable. I want one of them to just add 50 to the "tired" variable, and one to add a random number between 1 and 5,000 to the "money" variable.

If you try to rob it with 1 of the "gun" variable, I want the player to have one possibility to get the random number between 1 and 5,000 to "money" and two chances to take away 500 from the "money" variable and add 15 to the "day."

Help?

Er... I'm confuzzled. That is confusing code. I agree with deltatsunami and just use switch case statements. ie:

if (active == true) {
switch (option) {
case 1 :
_root.movement(moveX, moveY, this);
break;

Actually, I took that from the AS War code. :D

Research switch case stuff.

[uyersuyer]

I don't understand the switch case thing and I can't find any tutorials. Anybody wanna try to explain?

[GustTheASGuy]

There aren't many tutorials because it's well explained in the language reference. Hit f1 some?

I didn't really completely understand switch case so I tried just reworking my original AS and now it works BETTER but not perfect. Any tips?

[uyersuyer]

Anybody?
