noob question

[thanatos1]

Hi guys, i downloaded visual c# 2008 about a month ago and have been trying stuff out for myself.

I'm attempting to make a text based RPG, i made big progress but i'm stuck now.

Basically i want to show the player's HP in green whenever he has 51 to 100% of the maximum HP for his level, yellow from 26 - 50HP and red when below 25%.

My code shows the HP in green from 100% all the way down to 25%, going directly to red and bypassing yellow, how do i fix this?

here's the code.

if (ok.player > 51% ok.maxhp)
                        {
                            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
                            Console.Write("{0}/{1} HP", ok.player, ok.maxhp);
                            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
                        }
                        else
                            if ((ok.player >= 26% ok.maxhp) && (ok.player <= 50% ok.maxhp))
                            {
                                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Yellow;
                                Console.Write("{0}/{1} HP", ok.player, ok.maxhp);
                                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
                            }
                        else
                            if (ok.player < 25% ok.maxhp)
                            {
                                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
                                Console.Write("{0}/{1} HP", ok.player, ok.maxhp);
                                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
                            }

a person in another forum gave me the following solution, but it didn't work, instead it showed the HP in green from 100 to 0% never changing color.

decimal one_percent = (decimal)(ok.maxhp / 100);
decimal value = (decimal)ok.player;

if (value > (one_percent * 51))
{
    // ok.player is greater than 51% of ok.maxhp

    Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
    Console.Write("{0}/{1} HP", ok.player, ok.maxhp);
    Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
}
else if (value >= (one_percent * 26) && value <= (one_percent * 50))
{
    // ok.player is between 26% and 50% of ok.maxhp

    Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Yellow;
    Console.Write("{0}/{1} HP", ok.player, ok.maxhp);
    Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
}
else if (value < (one_percent * 25))
{
    // ok.player is less than 25% of ok.maxhp

    Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
    Console.Write("{0}/{1} HP", ok.player, ok.maxhp);
    Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
}

I downloaded it about a year ago, still learning:cool: but I believe I can help.
Your code : if (ok.player > 51% ok.maxhp)
The % is not what you think a percentage, it is the modulo operator! So you are comparing something against 51 modulo ok.maxhp, which is not what you want.
Other persons code : decimal one_percent = (decimal)(ok.maxhp / 100);
ok.maxhp / 100 is an integer divide, if maxhp is never greater than 100, one_percent will always be zero!
This is my code, hope it helps. You only have to restore the ok variable in it.

double maxhp = 55;
            double player = 25;
            decimal one_percent = (decimal)(maxhp / 100.0);
            decimal value = (decimal)player;

            if (value > (one_percent * 51))
            {
                // ok.player is greater than 51% of ok.maxhp
                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
                Console.Write("{0}/{1} HP", player, maxhp);
            }
            else if (value >= (one_percent * 26) && value <= (one_percent * 50))
            {
                // ok.player is between 26% and 50% of ok.maxhp
                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Yellow;
                Console.Write("{0}/{1} HP", player, maxhp);
            }
            else if (value < (one_percent * 25))
            {
                // ok.player is less than 25% of ok.maxhp
                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
                Console.Write("{0}/{1} HP", player, maxhp);     
            }
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have no doubt that code works, sadly yesterday night after posting the question i changed around some stuff in other code of the same program and now a lot of stuff doesn't work, i hate that i get no error messages, but the game still doesn't work as intended.

Basically i had 2 classes, one full of getters and setters with info, and another called world, where everthing took place in the game. But i wanted to create a class called "fight" and take my fighting code over there to make it a bit more manageable since my "world" class had around 1000 lines of code already.

But some info from the world and "items" class doesn't travel to my fight class, i heard that in c# you're only allowed to send info from 1 class to another and not more, if that's true, do i HAVE to make all my code in 1 class?

I'm starting college in January and i want to at least know a little something before i get there, i think everyone that takes a computer science program already knows a thing or two.

In C# you can't have multiple inheritance, if it is that what you mean. You can have many classes working together if you want to.
