***I have managed to fix this issue. I created a bool called RoomChallange_ItemNeeded in static void Main(string[] args), and set it to false. Then in the case "take-key" I set it to true, and in the case "drop-key" I set it to false. Finally in the case "use", the if statement is this:
if (currentRoom.RoomChallange != null && RoomChallange_ItemNeeded == true)
{
Console.WriteLine("currentRoom.RoomChallange.SuccessText");
playeritems.Remove(currentRoom.RoomChallange.ItemNeeded);
currentRoom.RoomChallange = null;
}***I will leave this string if you have any questions, as I saw no questions on this subject. Good luck programming.
Hello, I am trying to create a chest for my text based rpg in a Console Application. My problem is that when you try to unlock the chest, even if you have the specifications asked for, the ability to access it will not trigger. I have looked online for help on this but have found no such help. My question is why is my code not working, and is there a way to impliment the chest if my will simply not work? I have recived no error messages, warnings and I have tryed the debuger to no avail. Here is my code:
#region challenge
class Challenge
{
public Items ItemNeeded;
public string ChallengeText;
public string SuccessText;
public string BlockedExits;
public Challenge(string challenge, string success, Items needed, string blocked)
{
ChallengeText = challenge;
SuccessText = success;
ItemNeeded = needed;
BlockedExits = blocked;
}
}
#endregion challenge
#region class items
class Items
{
public string Name;
public string Description;
public decimal Wieght;
public Items (string name, string description, decimal wieght)
{
Name = name;
Description = description;
Wieght = wieght;
}
}
#endregion class items
#region class room
class Room
{
public string Title;
public string Description;
public string map_location;
public Room Warn;
public Room Dwarn;
public Room Swarn;
public Room Awarn;
public Items RoomItem;
public Items RoomItem2;
public Items RoomItem3;
public Challenge RoomChallange;
public Room(string title, string description, string maplocation)
{
Title = title;
Description = description;
map_location = maplocation;
}
}

*This is where the rooms are created and linked together. Room 46 comes before Room 45. I had made that mistake and left it seeing as it did no harm.
