kindly share your code for getting more information to solve it

You should decrement currentWeapon in your if statement .

9

you can simply add the decrement operation (currentWeapon-- ) inside your existing if statement. Here’s how you can modify your code:

function attack() {
text.innerText = “The " + monsters[fighting].name + " attacks.”;
text.innerText += " You attack it with your " + weapons[currentWeapon].name + “.”;
health -= getMonsterAttackValue(monsters[fighting].level);

// Decrement currentWeapon if it’s greater than 0
if (currentWeapon > 0) {
currentWeapon–; // Decrementing currentWeapon
}

if (isMonsterHit()) {
monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeapon].power + Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1;
} else {
text.innerText += " You miss.";
}
healthText.innerText = health;
monsterHealthText.innerText = monsterHealth;

if (health <= 0) {
lose();
} else if (monsterHealth <= 0) {
if (fighting === 2) {
winGame();
} else {
defeatMonster();
}
}

if (Math.random() <= .1) {
text.innerText += " Your " + inventory.pop() + " breaks.";
}
}
check this code may be it will work for you

no its not can you help to solve the issue

11 
function attack() {
  text.innerText = "The " + monsters[fighting].name + " attacks.";
  text.innerText += " You attack it with your " + weapons[currentWeapon].name + ".";
  health -= getMonsterAttackValue(monsters[fighting].level);
  
  // Check if currentWeapon is greater than 0 before decrementing
  if (currentWeapon > 0) {
    currentWeapon--; // Decrement currentWeapon
  }

  if (isMonsterHit()) {
    monsterHealth -= weapons[currentWeapon].power + Math.floor(Math.random() * xp) + 1;
  } else {
    text.innerText += " You miss.";
  }
  healthText.innerText = health;
  monsterHealthText.innerText = monsterHealth;
  
  if (health <= 0) {
    lose();
  } else if (monsterHealth <= 0) {
    if (fighting === 2) {
      winGame();
    } else {
      defeatMonster();
    }
  }
  
  if (Math.random() <= .1) {
    text.innerText += " Your " + inventory.pop() + " breaks.";
  }
}

This way, currentWeapon will only be decremented if it’s greater than 0, preventing it from becoming negative.

check this

Hi @kishor07

I think the decrement operator on the currentWeapon variable needs to go with the if statement, when if true prints Your … weapon breaks to the screen.

Happy coding

I struggled with Step 154 as well, because i felt the instructions were a bit unclear. But the solution was actually quite simple: In your current if Statement (the one that makes the weapon randomly break) just make sure to add a statement to the codeblock, that decreases the value of currentWeapon by one. So for anyone still looking for a solution, the above code worked for me.

The correct solution is to just add removed after your last line of code

Hi @sierraghankins and @MacDev1 !

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.

You need to add just decrement '– sign to your currentWeapon` .

17

Hey was also stuck on number 154 for a while but finally got it :sunglasses::sunglasses:
Actually quiet simple: just add decrement of currentWeapon here:
if (Math.random() <= .1 ) {
text.innerText += " Your " + inventory.pop() + " breaks.";
currentWeapon- -;
}
Happy Coding hang in there​:+1:t5::+1:t5::+1:t5::+1:t5:
