I did not find this type of scenario in stackoverflow and google searches.
I have run into a problem with the logic in my code I have written. The problem is on case 18 in the rollGiftsandLegacies function below:
class char
{
private function d4() { $RNG = mt_rand(1,4); return $RNG; }
// etc.
public function recursiveArrayShrink($array) {
array_walk_recursive($array, function($v, $k, $res) { $res[] = $v; }, $res);
return $res;
}
private function rollCulture($dice) {
switch($dice) {
case 1: // For this culture, we have a 1-3 different types of rewards
for ($i = 1; $i <= $this->d3(); $i++) {
$GiftsAndLegacies[$i] = $this->rollGiftsandLegacies($this->d20());
}
$results = $this->recursiveArrayShrink($GiftsAndLegacies);
$this->character['culture']['benefits'] = $results;
break;
}
}
private function rollGiftsandLegacies($dice) {
switch($dice) {
case 1: // A Weapon
switch($this->d10()) {
case 1: $gifts[] = "Gemmed dagger."; break;
case 2: $gifts[] = "Gemmed sword."; break;
case 3: $gifts[] = "Plain sword."; break;
case 4: $gifts[] = "A mace."; break;
case 5: $gifts[] = "Gemmed spear."; break;
case 6: $gifts[] = "Well-made short or long bow."; break;
case 7: $gifts[] = "Gemmed battle-axe."; break;
case 8: $gifts[] = "Any type of crossbow."; break;
case 9: $gifts[] = "Exotic weapon. GM Only"; break;
// Simple re-roll example: works!
case 10:
for($i = 1; $i <= $this->d4(); $i++) {
$gifts[] = $this->rollGiftsandLegacies($dice = 16);
}
break;
}
break;
case 2: $gift = "A tapestry."; break;
case 18: // SEALED TRUNK: 60% chance that it contains 2-4 additional items on this table.
if($this->d100() <= 60) {
$gifts[] = "A sealed trunk with contents:";
$this->GiftsAndLegaciesSealedTrunk = $this->d3() + 1;
for($i = 1; $i <= $this->GiftsAndLegaciesSealedTrunk; $i++) {
$roll = $this->d20();
$item = $this->recursiveArrayShrink($this->rollGiftsandLegacies($roll));
$item[0] = " <i>". $item[0];
$item[0] .= "</i>";
$gifts[] = $item;
}
} else {
$gifts[] = "A sealed trunk that is empty.";
}
break;
}
return $gifts[];
}
}
I get it to display correctly, but I feel I could do this so much better...
the array, and the foreach to actually loop through the results looks like so:
Array
(
[0] => A sealed chest with contents:
[1] => A musical instrument.
[2] => The characters true (and colorful) family history.
[3] => Gemmed dagger.
[4] => A sealed trunk with contents:
[5] => Gemmed sword.
[6] => A map.
[7] => A sealed trunk with contents:
[8] => Plain sword.
)
if(isset($c['culture']['benefits'])) {
foreach($c['culture']['benefits'] as $benefit) {
print("".$benefit."<br>");
}
}
If I roll two sealed trunks (or more infinitely) with things inside it, it looks like this:
A sealed trunk with contents:
A musical instrument.
The characters true (and colorful) family history.
Gemmed dagger.
A sealed trunk with contents:
Gemmed sword.
A map.
A sealed trunk with contents:
Plain sword.
I want it to look like:
A sealed trunk with contents:
*A musical instrument.*
*The characters true (and colorful) family history.*
*Gemmed dagger.*
A sealed trunk with contents:
*Gemmed sword.*
*A map.*
A sealed trunk with contents:
*Plain sword.*
Any help would be appreciated!
