selling weapons
Author
I am making a dungeon game like crawl but in text instead of ascii, and I need a question. First off, I'm new here, and I'm wondering if this site is C++ at all, but I am moderately good at C++, but I want to know, with this code (Only the part I'm wondering about, much more to my game) How can I make it so I can sell weapons back to the shop?" (The //if ?'s are so I know when they begin and end.:
void shops1()
{//shops1
system("PAUSE");
system("CLS");
cout << "As you enter the group of shops, you spot signs next to them." << endl;
cout << "There is a weapon shop, a shield shop, a potion shop, and a magic shop. What do you do?" << endl;
cout << "1)Weapon Shop" << endl;
cout << "2)Shield Shop" << endl;
cout << "3)Potion Shop" << endl;
cout << "4)Magic Shop" << endl;
cout << "5)Leave" << endl;
cin >> HEROCHOICE;
if (HEROCHOICE == 1)
{//if 1
cout << "You enter the weapon's stall, and a short and chubby man greets you. 'Hello there sir. I have weapons for sale, what will it be then?" << endl;
cout << "1)Buy Weapons" << endl;
cout << "2)Sell Weapons" << endl;
cout << "3)Not Interested" << endl;
cin >> HEROCHOICE;
if (HEROCHOICE == 1)
{//if 2
cout << "'Well then, please look at my wares.'" << endl;
system("PAUSE");
cout << "1)Bronze Shortsword = 50g" << endl;
cout << "2)Bronze Longsword = 100g" << endl;
cout << "3)Iron Rapier = 250g" << endl;
cout << "4)Iron Mace = 260g" << endl;
cout << "5)Wooden Short Bow = 90g" << endl;
cout << "6)Wooden Long Bow = 150g" << endl;
cout << "7)Jagged-Toothed Saber = 350g" << endl;
cout << "8)Never Mind" << endl;
cin >> HEROCHOICE;
}//if 2 end
else if (HEROCHOICE == 2)
{//if 3
cout << "'Well then, lets see what you got'" << endl;
system("PAUSE");
cout << "1)Bronze Shortsword = 25g" << endl;
cout << "2)Bronze Longsword = 45g" << endl;
cout << "3)Iron Rapier = 150g" << endl;
cout << "4)Iron Mace = 160g" << endl;
cout << "5)Wooden Short Bow = 30g" << endl;
cout << "6)Wooden Long Bow = 75g" << endl;
cout << "7)Jagged-Toothed Saber = 245g" << endl;
cout << "8)Never Mind" << endl;
cin >> HEROCHOICE;
}//if 3 end
else if (HEROCHOICE == 2)
{//if 4
cout << "'Ok then, come again soon!'" << endl;
}//if 4 end
}//if 1 end
}//shops1 end
: hope you can help, and that its not too confusing. All this function isnt done yet either, I'm just trying to figure out how I could sell weapons.

Otherwise, here is my whole game so far (There are plenty of spelling errors, but I'll fix that near the end. This is the whole thing after I made sure there were no errors:

This site focuses on all aspects of game development (programming includes multiple languages such as C++, C#, Java, etc...). This specific forum is focused on aspects of general game programming which, to my understanding, you could post in any language as long as it pertains to game programming.
Your code seems quite static and runs almost straight through. What I would do, is create classes for general objects like a 'Shop' class or a 'Vendor' class. That class would then have the functions you would need to sell or buy including a list of general items. I would probably then create an instantiated class (although these could be put in the actual parent class) that held the vendor information such as the description as you walked in the door, the vendor name, any of those vendor stats. With that, you can create objects of the instantiated class and populate them with data. So instead of having like 10 methods of Shop1(), Shop2(), Shop3()... You would have objects of:
oShop1.PromptBuy();
oShop2.PromptSell();
oShop3.PrintDescription();
To sell in your current code, you would need to check the user input, then check to make sure they have that item, then remove the item from their inventory, and add to their gold.

Oh, I forgot to ask one more question. My whole main loops, as shown, so should I put a getchar() and if it is say m, it opens a menu that shows your attack, defense, health, exp, and inventory? Is that what getchar does??? And if I did, would I do something like this:
int keypress = GEtchar();
if (keypress == '(M = integer?)')
{
MENU STATEMENT
}
?
int keypress = GEtchar();
if (keypress == '(M = integer?)')
{
MENU STATEMENT
}
?
I think what programmermattc suggested is your best bet. If you're just starting to program, I would highly recommend you learn about classes and Object Oriented programming soon (in my experience, learning to code the wrong way, and then later trying to adapt to the right way is much more difficult). Also, a small tip to help you in your current program: It looks like you might have better luck if you cleaned up your code so it's not so confusing. I see a whole lot of IF statements in your code, see this page http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/control.html and look at the bottom under "switch statements".
Hope this helps!
EDIT:
To address your last post, I wouldn't even use GetChar() with your current design. The way I would set it up would be with a prompt ever "turn" that asks the user what they want to do, then list some options and use std::cin to act on that input. Something like this:
Granted, this code is certainly by no means cut & paste, but the concept still makes sense and you could design something that fits in with your current program quite easily (and greatly improve it as well!).
Good luck!
Hope this helps!

I was going to mention the switch statements as well, definitely look into them if you have time.
You can find out what GetChar() does HERE. It sounds like it'll take the next character in a string. In their example, they loop through the string until they find a '.' character.

Thanks for the help, but with switch statements, you cant do something like an else can you? Or do I just hope they dont write something wrong? thats y I only use that for certain games. I'll try learning class next...
That's the main reason why I mentioned that my code wasn't cut & paste, if you notice in the switch statement that I used in my example, there's a "default:" part at the very end that just says it breaks. Before that break line, you can put anything you want. The default case serves as an all-around "else" for the if statements that you're replacing with that design.
Ideally using the example I gave above, all of that code would be wrapped up inside of a loop of some sort or a function so that if the user doesn't input a correct value, the default case can notify the program to go back and start the prompt over again.
I should probably note however before I leave you with the wrong idea, the if statement absolutely has uses in many places that the switch statement is not as flexible. A good example would be if you had more than thing you wanted to test for each case, an if statement would look like
However testing these multiple values on each case requires a little extra work if you wanna use a switch statement. Seeing as there's no real performance gain to either, sometimes you're just looking for what's going to be the most understandable when you have to go back and change it a week later.

First off, I would used code tags for all that code ( The Forums FAQ can show you how if you don't know)
second, I would really consider taking on a smaller project at the level you're out right now. It's definitely possible to create a whole game in the way you're going about, however it will become increasingly difficult to modify content, debug and make your game more interactive, with out really utilizing some of the features of c++, specifically Classes!
It seems to me like you do have a very clear idea of what you want to get done (which is a very good thing!)
However, I would definitely read up a little bit on classes for keeping things a little more manageable. As well as maybe looking into switch statements for handling input.
Edit: lol, I think my post just turned into saying exactly what just was said above, but i promise i did hit reply after programmermatic's post first post
Another Edit!:

I think I found my error! Last time I tried making a switch, like today, I accidentally put '' around a number case... It kept printing the right one AND the default too... My bad
