Yup, you're right, the output is being rendered before the attack
method is processed. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix it.
This is what's happening:
The attack button is clicked, and the page is reloaded due to the post
back.
The page is reloaded before the attack is processed, and the output -
which is written by the page's code behind file during the Page_Load
event - is displayed.
The attack is finally processed, but the results aren't seen because
the page has already been rendered.
Is there a way to force the attack processing to take place before the
page load? This is what I currently have:
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PlayerCharacter PC = null;
PlayerCharacter Enemy = null;
if (Page.IsPostBack)
{
PC = (PlayerCharacter)Context.Session["attacker"];
Enemy = (PlayerCharacter)Context.Session["target"];
}
else
{
PC = new PlayerCharacter("Neo", "Male", "A young hacker,
unaware that he's the chosen one", new Hacker());
Enemy = new PlayerCharacter("Smith", "Male", "An agent of
the Matrix", new Shill());
}
PC.Money = 2.34f;
Context.Session["attacker"] = PC;
Context.Session["target"] = Enemy;
AttackEventArgs attackArgs = new AttackEventArgs(Context);
List<Attack> PCattacks = PC.Attacks;
attack.Click += delegate { PCattacks[0].ExecuteAttack(this,
attackArgs); };
mainLabel.Text = PC.Name + " ";
mainLabel.Text += PC.Gender + "\n<br />";
mainLabel.Text += "HP: " + PC.CurrentHP + " TP: " +
PC.CurrentTP + " DMG: " + PC.DMG + "\n<br />";
mainLabel.Text += "Money: $" + PC.Money + "\n<br />";
mainLabel.Text += PC.Class.GetType().ToString() + "\n<br /
><br />";
mainLabel.Text += "Attack info before leveling up: <br />";
mainLabel.Text += "DMG: " + PC.DMG + " DMG Modifier " +
PC.DMGModifier + " Chance to Hit: " + PC.ChanceToHit + "<br /><br />";
mainLabel.Text += "Enemy HP: " + Enemy.CurrentHP + "<br /><br /
>";
}
}
