I'm working on a Text RPG with a friend of mine and we can't seem to get it when you choose your class and race if the player does not type in a class or race that is given then it will display say "That is not a valid Race / Class please choose again." Here is the code we are currently using.

input "What class are you?>",class$
if class$="Warrior" then print "You are a Warrior"
if class$="White Mage" then print "You are a WhiteMage"
if class$="Black Mage" then print "You are a BlackMage"
if class$="Archer" then print "You are a Archer"

write it like this:

+ Code Snippet

input "What class are you?>",class$
if lower$ (class$)="Warrior" then print "You are a Warrior"
if lower$ (class$)="White Mage" then print "You are a WhiteMage"
if lower$ (class$)="Black Mage" then print "You are a BlackMage"
if lower$ (class$)="Archer" then print "You are a Archer"

if you don´t write lower$, warrior and Warrior are two different words. YOu KNow whAt I`m SayING?

Try using the Select/Case commands.

+ Code Snippet

SelectClass:
input "What class are you?>",class$
Select class$
   Case "Warrior"
    Print "You are a Warrior"
   EndCase
   Case "White Mage"
    Print "You are a WhiteMage"
   EndCase
   Case "Black Mage"
    Print "You are a BlackMage"
   EndCase
   Case Default
    Print "That is not a valid Race / Class please choose again."
    Goto SelectClass:`Normally, avoid using goto, but this is just a sample.
   EndCase
EndSelect

I'm don;t remember if DBC has the Select/Case commands. Another way that would work in either DBC or DBP is:

+ Code Snippet

Flag = 0
input "What class are you?>",class$
Do
  if class$="Warrior"
    print "You are a Warrior"
    flag = 1
  endif
  if class$="White Mage"
    print "You are a WhiteMage"
    flag = 1
  endif
  if class$="Black Mage"
    print "You are a BlackMage"
    flag = 1
  endif
  if class$="Archer"
    print "You are a Archer"
    flag = 1
  endif
  If flag=0
    Print "That is not a valid Race / Class please choose again."
  Else
    exit
  Endif
Loop

@klu 007: that way works, but don't you need to change it to:

+ Code Snippet

input "What class are you?>",class$
if lower$ (class$)="warrior" then print "You are a Warrior"
if lower$ (class$)="white mage" then print "You are a WhiteMage"
if lower$ (class$)="black mage" then print "You are a BlackMage"
if lower$ (class$)="archer" then print "You are a Archer"

ant then you have to make a way to check if it isn't any of those.

@RiiDii: Both ways work, but you need to convert class$ to either all caps of all lowercase.
