breed multiple clutches

[SilverDragonTears]

Possible? To breed more than one baby?

[AlexC]

want, want, want. This would be pretty darn cool.

[Aasixx]

I would love this as well.. o3o I hope it's possible.

[SilverDragonTears]

Welllll.... I could always take a look at it myself then since you guys are interested. I'm just sooooo busy >.> Maybe I can just post my thoughts and hopefully get some help with it. *Stares at Hoffie*

I think this question was asked before when breeding first became available for Mys v1.2.0. The trick is here from breeding.php:

PHP Code:

        else {
            // we choose the type!
            $types = array($female->type, $male->type);
            $typerand = rand(0,1);        
            
            // we choose the gender
            $genders = array('f', 'm');
            $genderrand = rand(0,1);                
            $code = codegen(10, 0);

            // MESSY - I'm blanking out on how to find the actual alt status stuff right now, any help would be lovely.
            $alts = getaltstatus($female_species->id, 0, 0);

            $time = time();
            $adopts->insert("owned_adoptables", array("aid" => NULL, "type" => $types[$typerand], "name" => $types[$typerand], "owner" => $loggedinname, "currentlevel" => 0, "totalclicks" => 0, "code" => $code, 
                            "imageurl" => NULL, "usealternates" => $alts, "tradestatus" => 'fortrade', "isfrozen" => 'no', "gender" => $genders[$genderrand], "lastbred" => 0));
                        
            $article_content = "Congratulations! Breeding is successful, you have acquired a baby {$types[$typerand]} from breeding center.
            <br><a href='myadopts.php'>Manage your new {$types[$typerand]} now!</a></p>";

            $adopts->update("owned_adoptables", array("lastbred" => $time), "aid = '{$femaleid}'");
            $adopts->update("owned_adoptables", array("lastbred" => $time), "aid = '{$maleid}'");
        
        } // we end the place where it goes on if the levels are ok 


Assume the number of babies is a random variable ranging from 1 to 5, you can do the following:

PHP Code:

      else {
        $num = mt_rand(1, 5);
        for($i = 0;$i<$num;$i++){
            // we choose the type!
            $types = array($female->type, $male->type);
            $typerand = rand(0,1);        
            
            // we choose the gender
            $genders = array('f', 'm');
            $genderrand = rand(0,1);                
            $code = codegen(10, 0);

            // MESSY - I'm blanking out on how to find the actual alt status stuff right now, any help would be lovely.
            $alts = getaltstatus($female_species->id, 0, 0);

            $time = time();
            $adopts->insert("owned_adoptables", array("aid" =>  NULL, "type" => $types[$typerand], "name" => $types[$typerand],  "owner" => $loggedinname, "currentlevel" => 0, "totalclicks" =>  0, "code" => $code, 
                            "imageurl" => NULL, "usealternates" =>  $alts, "tradestatus" => 'fortrade', "isfrozen" => 'no', "gender"  => $genders[$genderrand], "lastbred" => 0));
                        
        } // the end of for loop
            $article_content = "Congratulations! Breeding is successful,  your pets have produced {$num} babies from breeding!";
            $adopts->update("owned_adoptables", array("lastbred" => $time), "aid = '{$femaleid}'");
            $adopts->update("owned_adoptables", array("lastbred" => $time), "aid = '{$maleid}'");
      } // we end the place where it goes on if the levels are ok 


This way the script will randomly produce 1-5 babies depending on what you get from the random number generator. You can easily make it to whatever number it can go up to. You can also do database integration by creating a new field in table prefix.adoptables that stores the number of babies a specific species can produce. It can get quite tricky for interspecies breeding though, so I do not recommend it at this moment.

Ok it told me my dragons had 4 babies... but I only got two eggs?

Here's what I have....Also can I show the images of each new baby? I know how to show one but not the others?

else {
        $num = mt_rand(1, 5);
        for($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();

            $bredtemp = rand(0,100);
            if($bredtemp <= "50"){

            $article_content = "<center>

}    
else{
	        $adopts->insert("owned_adoptables", array("aid" => $aid, "type" => $types[$typerand], "name" => $aid, "owner" => $loggedinname, "currentlevel" => 0, "totalclicks" => 0, "code" => $code, 
			                "imageurl" => NULL, "usealternates" => $alts, "tradestatus" => 'notfortrade', "isfrozen" => 'no', "gender" => $gender, "lastbred" => 0, "date" => $date, "father" => $maleid, "mother" => $femaleid));
						
        } // the end of for loop
			$article_content = "

}
			$adopts->update("owned_adoptables", array("lastbred" => $time), "aid = '{$femaleid}'");
			$adopts->update("owned_adoptables", array("lastbred" => $time), "aid = '{$maleid}'");
		
		} // we end the place where it goes on if the levels are ok
    } //this bracket ends the else where we find the male/female id's
}

This is weird... Lets troubleshoot by editing this line:

PHP Code:

            $adopts->insert("owned_adoptables", array("aid" =>  NULL, "type" => $types[$typerand], "name" => $types[$typerand],  "owner" => $loggedinname, "currentlevel" => 0, "totalclicks" =>  0, "code" => $code, 
                            "imageurl" => NULL, "usealternates" =>  $alts, "tradestatus" => 'fortrade', "isfrozen" => 'no', "gender"  => $genders[$genderrand], "lastbred" => 0)); 


to

PHP Code:

            $adopts->insert("owned_adoptables", array("aid" =>  NULL, "type" => $types[$typerand], "name" => $types[$typerand],  "owner" => $loggedinname, "currentlevel" => 0, "totalclicks" =>  0, "code" => $code, 
                            "imageurl" => NULL, "usealternates" =>  $alts, "tradestatus" => 'fortrade', "isfrozen" => 'no', "gender"  => $genders[$genderrand], "lastbred" => 0)) or die("Failed to create baby dragons..."); 


Lemme know if you get an error message that terminates the script.

[SilverDragonTears]

Nope no error...but said I had 3 babies but looked in my lair and I have none. I posted my script in my last post. Bred again and said I had 3 eggs but only 1 in my lair.

[SilverDragonTears]

Maybe it has something to do with the types? Like maybe the ones I can't see are the other types?

[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.
