breed multiple clutches

[Hall of Famer]

Well I see, looks like it is because of the way you modify your code. XD You only get 0 or 1 baby from the last two tries because you have this 'breeding chance' settings. Here:

PHP Code:

$bredtemp = rand(0,100); 
            if($bredtemp <= "50"){ 
            $article_content = "<center> <img src='http://taleofdragons.net/get/".$maleid.".gif'><br> <img src='http://taleofdragons.net/get/".$femaleid.".gif'><br> These two don't seem very interested in each other right now. Try again in a week."; 
     } 


According to this, the $bredtemp generates a number between 0 to 100, but only when this random number is below 50 will breeding actually occur. For this reason you wont get 3 dragons unless the variable $bredtemp gets a random number below 50 everytime. See the logic? Since each time breeding has 50% chance to succeed, it makes perfect sense why you get 1 out of 3 last time, and 2 out of 4 the first time. The script will work normally if you remove the 'breeding chance' code.

I see :) Cool! Ok... so is it possible to have some one type and some the other? Also... can I show all the baby images instead of just one??

Silver, which one of your sites are you putting this on? I would like to test it out on your site (I have an account on both).

Theoretically yes, you can have two possible types of dragons for multiple offsprings production. If you look at the code itself, the baby's type is generated inside the for loop, which is why the first baby may assume its father's type while the second baby can be the same type of its mother's.

X.X... umm... lol. Example?


EDIT: I'm so stupid. I was breeding the same two types. It already does what I wanted. *facepalm*

Ok so how do I get all the baby images to show instead of one?

[Hall of Famer]

Well... You can simply change the equal sign = after $article_content to .=

Original code:

PHP Code:

$article_content  = <center> <img src='http://taleofdragons.net/get/".$maleid.".gif'><br> <img src='http://taleofdragons.net/get/".$femaleid.".gif'></center><br>".$imageurl."Congratulations! Breeding is successful,  you have acquired {$num} babies from breeding!<br> <a href='myadopts.php?act=stats&id=".$aid."'><img src='http://taleofdragons.net/get/".$aid.".gif'></a></p>"; 


New Code:

PHP Code:

$article_content .= " <center> <img src='http://taleofdragons.net/get/".$maleid.".gif'><br> <img src='http://taleofdragons.net/get/".$femaleid.".gif'></center><br>".$imageurl."Congratulations! Breeding is successful,  you have acquired {$num} babies from breeding!<br> <a href='myadopts.php?act=stats&id=".$aid."'><img src='http://taleofdragons.net/get/".$aid.".gif'></a></p>"; 


See the difference? You bet.

Posting what I have per Hof's request...

 
        else {
        $num = mt_rand(0, 5);
        for($i = 0;$i<$num;$i++){
			// we choose the type!
			$types = array($female->type, $male->type);
			$typerand = rand(0,1);		
			
			// we choose the gender
                        $tempgender = rand(0, 99);
                        if($tempgender < $row->genderratio) {
                        $gender = "f";
                        $alts = "yes";    
                        unset($tempgender);
                        }
                        else {
                        $gender = "m";
                        $alts = "no";          
                        unset($tempgender);
                        }

$salt = passgenerator(10, 0);
$aid = passgenerator(5, 0);				
            $code = codegen(10, 0);

			

			$time = time();
	        $adopts->insert("owned_adoptables", array("aid" => $aid, "type" => $types[$typerand], "name" => $aid, "owner" => $loggedinname, "currentlevel" => 0, "totalclicks" => 0, "code" => $code,

        } // the end of for loop

if($num == "0"){
			$article_content .= " <center> <img src='http://taleofdragons.net/get/".$maleid.".gif'><br> <img src='http://taleofdragons.net/get/".$femaleid.".gif'></center><br>These two do not seem interested in one another. Try again in a week.";

I heard that you fixed your problem already, what a relief. XD

Okay, so this is working perfectly on my site, but I was kinda wondering how to display the parents and all the babies like Silver is. I tried with her code, but it didn't work. I do however, have like, 20+ new babies.
