Why dont you try using a random draw, and weight the results with a
case statement, something like this.
This is just simple pseudo-code to illustrate the idea, I didnt really
understand how you have your formation set up. If you implement this
idea, you might want to weight it differently, giving greater chances
to the dude in front-middle position, and maybe even making no chance
of the back row behing hit (except by arrow or spells?) shrug...
switch(number(0, 18)) {
case 0: /* First row, 3X the chance to be hit */
case 1:
case 3:
if (formation_array[0] != NULL)
return formation_array[0];
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
if (formation_array[1] != NULL)
return formation_array[1];
case 7:
case 8:
case 9:
if (formation_array[2] != NULL)
return formation_array[2];
case 10: /* Second row, 2X the chance */
case 11:
if (fomation_array[3] != NULL)
return formation_array[3];
case 12:
...
And so on... down to the back row, with a single chance to be hit.
default:
log("SYSERR: Empty formation fighting.");
break;
}
Notice the absence of break statements, this is to make hit-attempts
fall through to the next person and on down the line, to keep twinks
from getting to the back of an empty formation to keep from being hit.
