Generating Random dwWorldID.

[raventh1984]

Hi elitepvpers,

I am working on something so that if you enter an dungeon that it randomize the dungeons.

So what i did was this

TestMng::SetRandomWorld()
{
	int x = rand() % 2;

	switch (x)
	{
	case 0:
	{
			  dwWorldTest = WI_INSTANCE_CONTAMINTRAILS;
	}
		break;
	case 1:
	{
			  dwWorldTest = WI_INSTANCE_BEHAMAH;
	}
		break;
	}

}

int TestMng::GetRandomWorld()
{
	//if (dwWorldTest != NULL_ID)
//		Error("dwWorldTest %d", dwWorldTest);
		return dwWorldTest;
}

CWorld* pWorld = g_WorldMng.GetWorld(pTestMng->GetRandomWorld());
	if (pWorld && pWorld->m_linkMap.GetLinkMap(static_cast<int>(dwPlayerID)))
		pWorld->Invalidate(dwPlayerID);

And

CWorld* pWorld = g_WorldMng.GetWorld(pTestMng->GetRandomWorld());
	ASSERT(pWorld);
	if (IsValidObj(pUser))
	{
		if (pWorld->m_linkMap.GetLinkMap(static_cast<int>(dwPlayerID)))
		{
			//pUser->REPLACE(g_uIdofMulti, WI_INSTANCE_CONTAMINTRAILS, D3DXVECTOR3(1413.187f, 100.487f, 1261.361f), REPLACE_NORMAL, static_cast<int>(dwPlayerID));
			pUser->REPLACE(g_uIdofMulti, pTestMng->GetRandomWorld(), D3DXVECTOR3(1413.187f, 100.487f, 1261.361f), REPLACE_NORMAL, static_cast<int>(dwPlayerID));
		}
	}

The problem is when i am willing to enter the dungeon its crashing.
On Debugging its telling me that its crashing on

return dwWorldTest; @stMng::GetRandomWorld()

When i enable the error logging. Then the error is saying the correct ID. for each time i try to enter. So i know that SetRandomWorld is functional.

Any tips?

With kind regards.

DWORD dwWorldId = xRandom(2) == TRUE ? WI_INSTANCE_CONTAMINTRAILS : WI_INSTANCE_BEHAMAH;

only one line code..

and without more informations we cant help you..

And?


The pointer pTestMng is wrong.

Why should you write 20 lines if you can do it with only one line?

[Meutledaron]

where SetRandomWorld() is called ?

It's optional the programming style you want to do, but in this case I'm pretty sure many programmers will agree with this way. You have in this case, different worlds to load which will load for the moment two cases but you could have many other worlds. I prefer to use abbreviations when you have for example just two cases, like true o false; or similar.

Personally, I would use a struct and a vector for the random maps @.

Thanks all.

I solved the problem by re-scripting some of the code.

And for the Switch cases yeah the intention is to load all dungeons.

So its indead better for struct and vector. I will do that one. xD.

Thanks for the tips all.
