welcome to forum @bloodyhash

though this is not a gw basic forum if you are new to basic you might use it to get started but gw forces you to use line numbers and all that is unneceassary when you move to higher QB's specially QB64pe used at this forum.

to get help you have to remember we cant read your mind and know wth you are talking about; stats is what kind of data structure? what properties do you have setup for charater, hero? = player/user controlled?, slime? 50 hp ??? hp = hit points or what?

this HI (human intelligence) needs more information, to be of help perhaps some code posted of what you tried and better description of result you looking to accomplish....

This is a very quick demo of how I would approach this.

Code: (Select All)

TYPE WEAPON '              define weapons

    Name AS STRING '      name of weapon

    HitDamage AS INTEGER ' damage weapon inflicts

END TYPE



TYPE CHARACTER '          define characters

    HitPoints AS INTEGER ' hit points remaining

    Weapon AS WEAPON '    weapon character yielding

END TYPE



DIM Player AS CHARACTER '  create a player

DIM Slime AS CHARACTER '  create an enemy

DIM Axe AS WEAPON '        create a player weapon

DIM Spit AS WEAPON '      create an enemy weapon

DIM KeyPress AS STRING '  any keyboard key press

DIM Enter AS STRING '      the ENTER key

DIM ESC AS STRING '        the ESC key



Enter = CHR$(13) '        define the ENTER key

ESC = CHR$(27) '          define the ESC key



Axe.Name = "Axe" '        give player weapon a name

Axe.HitDamage = 2 '        damage weapon posseses



Spit.Name = "Acid Spit" '  give enemy weapon a name

Spit.HitDamage = 10 '      damage weapon posses



Player.HitPoints = 50 '    set amount of HP player currently has

Player.Weapon = Axe '      give player a weapon



Slime.HitPoints = 50 '    set amount of HP Slime currently has

Slime.Weapon = Spit '      give Slime a weapon



DO

    PRINT "The Slime currently has"; Slime.HitPoints; "hit points remaining."

    PRINT

    PRINT "Press ENTER to attack with your "; Player.Weapon.Name;"!"

    PRINT

    DO '                                                          begin keyboard input loop

        _LIMIT 10 '                                                check 10 times per second

        KeyPress = INKEY$ '                                        get any key press

    LOOP UNTIL KeyPress = Enter OR KeyPress = ESC '                leave when ENTER or ESC

    Slime.HitPoints = Slime.HitPoints - Player.Weapon.HitDamage '  inflict damage on slime

    PRINT "Your "; Player.Weapon.Name; " finds it mark! The Slime oozes in pain!"

    PRINT

LOOP UNTIL _KEYDOWN(27) '                                          press ESC to end
