I'm creating my first FPS game,
in MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition with Dark GDK.
I've created a level and so on, and now I'm updating my enemies.
My ninja enemies have different .x files for different states, example: one for idle and one for attack.
I can't manage the switching between the different states! :(
Here is my code:
void updateNinja ( void )
{
int iLoop = 0;
float distCameraNinja;
for ( iLoop = 0; iLoop < ninjaCount; iLoop++)
{
if ( ninja[ iLoop ].life > 0 )
{
switch ( ninja[ iLoop ].mode )
{
case 1 : // idle loop idle & check dist
{
if ( ninja[ iLoop ].type == 1 )
dbLoopObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj , 0 , 0 );
else
{
dbDeleteObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj );
dbLoadObject ( "media\\H-Ninja-Idle.x" , ninja[ iLoop ].obj );
dbLoopObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj );
ninja[ iLoop ].type = 1;
}
distCameraNinja = getDistance ( ninja[ iLoop ].curPosX , 0 , ninja[ iLoop ].curPosZ , dbCameraPositionX ( 0 ) , 0 , dbCameraPositionZ ( 0 ) );
if ( distCameraNinja < 100 )
ninja[ iLoop ].mode = 2;
} break;
case 2 : // run loop run & play sound & check dist
{
if ( ninja[ iLoop ].type == 2 )
dbLoopObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj );
else
{
dbDeleteObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj );
dbLoadObject ( "media\\Ninja\\H-Ninja-Move.x" , ninja[ iLoop ].obj );
dbPositionObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj , ninja[ iLoop ].curPosX , 0 , ninja[ iLoop ].curPosZ );
dbScaleObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj , 3000 , 3000 , 3000 );
dbSetObjectSpeed ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj , 20 );
dbLoopObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj );
ninja[ iLoop ].type = 2;
}
distCameraNinja = getDistance ( ninja[ iLoop ].curPosX , 0 , ninja[ iLoop ].curPosZ , dbCameraPositionX ( 0 ) , 0 , dbCameraPositionZ ( 0 ) );
if ( distCameraNinja> 500 )
ninja[ iLoop ].mode = 1;
else if ( distCameraNinja > 100 )
ninja[ iLoop ].mode = 2;
else if ( distCameraNinja < 100 )
ninja[ iLoop ].mode = 3;
} break;
case 3 : // attack loop attack & play sound & check dist
{
if ( ninja[ iLoop ].type == 3 )
dbLoopObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj );
else
{
dbDeleteObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj );
dbLoadObject ( "media\\Ninja\\H-Ninja-Attack1.x" , ninja[ iLoop ].obj );
dbPositionObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj , ninja[ iLoop ].curPosX , 0 , ninja[ iLoop ].curPosZ );
dbScaleObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj , 3000 , 3000 , 3000 );
dbSetObjectSpeed ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj , 20 );
dbLoopObject ( ninja[ iLoop ].obj );
ninja[ iLoop ].type = 3;
}
distCameraNinja = getDistance ( ninja[ iLoop ].curPosX , 0 , ninja[ iLoop ].curPosZ , dbCameraPositionX ( 0 ) , 0 , dbCameraPositionZ ( 0 ) );
if ( distCameraNinja> 500 )
ninja[ iLoop ].mode = 1;
else if ( distCameraNinja > 100 )
ninja[ iLoop ].mode = 2;
else if ( distCameraNinja < 100 )
ninja[ iLoop ].mode = 3;
} break;
}
char czText[256];
wsprintf ( czText , "%d distCameraNinja " , (int) distCameraNinja );
dbText ( 0 , ( iLoop + monsterCount ) * 15 , czText );
}
}
}

Are there a better way of switching than deleting the current object and load a new object with the same object number?
Please help
