Matrix Games Forums

I keep getting errors on lines 22, 31, 49, 58, 67, 77, 87, 96, 105, 114, 123, 132, 141, 151, 160, 169, and 178 (all CheckActionCard's ). Any idea why? I don't get errors on 4, 13, or 40 (Also CheckActionCard's), which just confuses me more. [&o] Any help would be greatly appreciated! (especially considering the time I've put into this matrix [X(], man I must be crazy)

The only thing I can think of is that the Regime# or Action card# doesn't exist. Maybe you deleted them?

No, they are all there. They showed up right be for I put in the Checks, but I needed the check because multiple copies of a card were showing up. Is that normal?

mail me the files to vic@xs4all.nl and i can have a look for you.

Got it:

13) CHECK: CheckActionCard(3, 0) == 0
14) EXECUTE: ExecGiveActionCard(3, 0)

The parameters (regime, card) are in different orders in those commands. I've had the same problem, it's a bit annoying.

I have never used 'checkactioncard'.  For cards like this, It is just easier to clear all hands with a loopr -
 
loop through the regimes
loop through the cards
remove the cards
 
Then, add them back in if your conditions are met.  This would take out about 40 lines in the above. 
 
Also, you have some redundant blocks of checks.  See lines 176/177 and 139/138 for instance.  You could give out the cards in either situation reducing the number of blocks you need from n*(n-1) for n regimes to n-1+n-2+n-3+...  (works out to 12 vs 20 in this case).  This would also reduce your code length. 
 
Finally, you could might be able shorten the code depending on the action card given. 

Thanks Zook! [&o]

Ya, my professor would call it the "brute force" approach, way too much work than is needed. I'll definitely change the way I did it this time to something more like ED's system for the next one.
