    <p>I think I have all the terms right in my question...but I'm not sure. Basically what I am trying to do is get the little details of my inventory and equipment set in a text game.</p> <p>What I want to do is have a weapon, lets go with a sword, and i want it to change certain aspects of the character itself. Lets go with the hp of the character increases by like...5, what i would have in this case is, (don't mind the sloppy work!)</p> <pre><code>global basehp basehp = 10 global armorhp armorhp = 0 global skillhp skillhp = 0 global hpmod hpmod = (skillhp + armorhp) global righthand righthand = 0 </code></pre> <p>so setting the example with hp this is what i actually have in my program, now what i want to do is change armorhp to match what the armor would change it to, say i have my sword that adds 5 to my hp right? what i am working with now is just not working, at first i thought to just have it equip and add 5 to armorhp, then i started thinking about UNequiping it...the effect would be the same...i shall show you what i mean</p> <pre><code>def hpsword: armorhp = (armorhp + 5) def prompt(): x = raw_input("Type command&gt;&gt;") if x == 'equip': print "equip what?" print inventory y = raw_input("&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;") if y == 'sword': if 'hpsword' in inventory: global righthand righthand = 1 inventory.remove ('hpsword') equipmentlist.append ('hpsword') </code></pre> <p>Now from right here you'll notice i left some things out, like my lists, i'm getting to that but this is where i can really explain more of what i mean, i want to use each item like that, but i can't figure out how...i'm confusing i know, i have a lot on my mind, but i want to just do something like....</p> <pre><code>def this sword(): this sword does this thing! </code></pre> <p>then when it gets equiped add the effect it does, such as +5 health, then remove it and take the effect with it, without having to do 100 lines of code with a bunch of statements that are oh add this effect but then when you don't want to use it anymore reset righthand to 0 and then if it was this number there take this many away from that before you change it to number 2 and add 10 more.</p> <p>i'm also trying to avoid the equip sword, gain 5 health, unequip, still at 5? good, equip, YAY 10!!!</p> <p>if i make any sense at all i'm shocked...but if anyone can figure out what i mean and give me a few pointers that would be great!</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Reading up on what was left in a comment, (Thanks for that Eevee!) I think I am starting to figure out classes a little...very little.</p> <p>New question then, would i then make a class for the main character, like, </p> <pre><code>class character(object): </code></pre> <p>then add in the <strong>init</strong></p> <pre><code>def __init__(self) </code></pre> <p>then would i define inventory like, </p> <pre><code>def __init__(self) def inventory </code></pre> <p>or would i do this, </p> <pre><code>def __init__(self, inventory) </code></pre> <p>sorry if i ask too many questions, just trying to get it figured out and i've noticed people here are nice enough to at least look at questions from wannabe programmers like myself :D</p> <p>ANOTHER EDIT!!!!</p> <p>Again, thanks a ton Eevee! That makes some sense, though reading through it i'm still a little confused as to how i would add it to my code and then what i would need to change for some different items. </p> <p>To try and explain some, when i say different items, you gave me </p> <pre><code>class Sword(object): def visit_health_bonus(self, character): return 5 </code></pre> <p>and if i wanted a sword that did something different i would just create a new class with a different name, but then basically the same thing? </p> <pre><code>class Sword2(object): def visit_strength_bonus(self, character): return 2 </code></pre> <p>and that would give me a sword that would add 2 to my strength right?</p> <p>now onto my other question, when i attempt to use this, what would i really need to get it to work right, i'm seeing a lot of things that i don't think would run without having some other bits</p> <pre><code>class Sword(object): def visit_health_bonus(self, character): return 5 # Then, every turn, recalculate health: health = player.base_health for equipment in player.equipment: //would i need another class here? (player) # Pretend this lists everything the player has equipped; you might # have to check each hand manually health += equipment.visit_health_bonus(player) //also going to think a class (equipment) </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
