Breeding System - Complete!

[Arianna]

Thanks. :) I'm glad you got it working. The problem for me is I have so many columns in the database (dates, parents, lots of other stuff) that it's hard to make the code work for everyone on the first try.

[Arianna]

Uhm...i have a question..is possible to make different character from the breeding?
Becuase in my site i want make a little difference...

For esample:
Elesis

+
Ronan

=

???

[Arianna]

I don't think so, no. Sorry.

Actually, it is possible, but requires quite a big code addition
probably it would be best to create a function which looks up the combination of the id's
like pet 2+7 gives back pet 9
but that means you have to save those combinations somewhere(preferable the database)
and when there is no combination it should say that the pets won't mate
I'll take a look at it, but it seems to be annoyingly time-taking

[Arianna]

The point is - if you have 20 pets, that's an additional 400 pets you need to make. And what about if those 400 kinds can breed?
I won't code something like it, it's simply to hard. I guess you could check for certain situations (if ($kind="Kind1")) and then determine it, but I'm not in the mood for that.

[bokkun]

Yes, it would be pretty hard
It's just an idea, maybe there's some sort of way...
I'll play with the code a bit, maybe I'll find some way
anyway nice script, seems to work flawless on my server.

maybe ill make in the future a nod on this mod to let the eggs breed once, im not sre if its gonna succeed but ill maybe gonna try :D

Ok, here is a question that has to do with the above asked question:

Can I in theory make a "group" if you will as a new attribute like "gender" or "species" and tell the script instead of species the parents from this "group" can breed despite species and produce a egg that's a random choice of the one of the parents species?

I want to try this out it should work in theory but my php skill are very limited.
