Question on DK points and newday.php

Does the following (from near the top of newday.php):

Code:

if (count($session['user']['dragonpoints']) <$session['user']['dragonkills']&&$_GET['dk']!=""){
   array_push($session['user']['dragonpoints'],$_GET[dk]);
   switch($_GET['dk']){
   case "hp":
      $session['user']['maxhitpoints']+=5;
      break;
   case "at":
      $session['user']['attack']++;
      break;
   case "de":
      $session['user']['defence']++;
      break;
   }
}

...get run once per game day ("resetting" character), or only one time when the player has just spent a DK point?
The reason for the question is that I want to add an account field that tallies the number of times the HP option is selected (as I have no clue how to pull it out of the dragonpoints array thing). So should I be able to add in the case for HP a simple $session['user']['hpdk']++; (once I have added that field to the table, of course)?

Well, I'm still a bit of a newbie to the inner workings, but I would guess that everything in newday.php is run everytime that there is a refresh. I think the default was a refresh every 6 hours, or 4 times a day.

Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong... Undecided

That code will be executed only when you kill the dragon, because your DP (DragonPoints) are lower then DK (DragonKill) and not each newday.

Anyway if you need to know how many DK has been spent into HP you can do this:

Code:

while (list($key, $val) = each($session[user][dragonpoints])) {
if ($val == "hp") {
$yourvariable ++;
}
}

Now you're able to use $yourvariable for your need.

I would achieve it this way:

Before switch($_GET['dk']){ add $session['user']['hpdk']=0;

After $session['user']['maxhitpoints']+=5;add $session['user']['hpdk']++

Remember that it won't be calculated until the user actually DKs.

Talisman, with your suggestion they would need to add a database field 'hpdk'.

In general, it's not the right solution to add a database field for something which is trivial to calculate.

Excalibur's solution is the 'right' one
