breed multiple clutches

[Hall of Famer]

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.
