restarting a game

[cassius]

Using c++

 

Whats the best way to re start a game when it ends?Currently I don't have that option.

Tried goto a label called restart but got syntax error.obviosly Boolean flags would have to b reset.

What kind of a "reset" you want? In the Darkness Awaits Template, I made it reload the map by saving the changename string into another string before clearing the changename value. A C++ example of what I'm talking about can be found here.

Thanks but that looks too advanced for me.

Not really advanced, LEX is just complicated. Simply put:

 

std::string nextmap

std::string currentmap

 

if (nextmap != NULL)

{

// Put this after you stopped the time and cleared the world.

currentmap = nextmap

nextmap = NULL // Make nextmap null so it does not loop.

}

 

Then when you want the map to reload:

 

Map::Load(currentmap)

[Slastraf]

currentmap = nextmap

if you change currentmap to a string like "level01" then it will load it.

Just put this instead of Map::Load() when you start the game:

 

nextmap = "Maps\mymap.map" 

 

And the function before will automatically save the the current map you're playing. The entire thing should look like:

 

std::string nextmap

std::string currentmap

 

if (nextmap != NULL)

{

World::Clear()

Time::Pause()

Map::Load(nextmap)

Time::Resume()

currentmap = nextmap

nextmap = NULL // Make nextmap null so it does not loop.

}
