I have a system here that randomly generates an enemy character with random traits involving their race, gender, etc. When the string array enemyRace chooses one of the options I have a block of if-statements made to modify the health, defense, and money of whatever race is chosen.
Once that is finished it should display that information at the bottom in the EnemyStats() method but it doesn't, all stats show up as 0. I initialize the two methods in my Start class in the Main method.
Can you guys help to properly display its stats? Is it due to the fact that the methods are void? I'm still new to C# so any guidance will be appreciated.
class Start (Contains Main method)
// Loading in objects
Enemy enemy = new Enemy();
// Loading in the game
Console.WriteLine("Press enter to create a new character . . . ");
string input = Console.ReadLine();
Console.Clear();
// Game Loop
enemy.EnemySpawn();
enemy.EnemyStats();
Console.ReadLine();
class Enemy
Random random = new Random();
// Enemy Base Stats
public static int enemyHP;
public static int enemyEP;
public static int enemyCoins;
// Enemy Attack
public static int enemyMelee = 0;
public static int enemyMagic = 0;
public static int enemyRange = 0;
// Enemy Defense
public static int enemyMeleeDefense = 0;
public static int enemyMagicDefense = 0;
public static int enemyRangeDefense = 0;

In your EnemySpawn() method instead of :
if (enemyRace.ToString() == "Human ")
replace in every condition (i.e. in if block use enemyClassChance as index like below)
if (enemyRace[enemyClassChance].ToString() == "Human ")
Also , I believe instead of
int enemyClassChance = random.Next(1, 4);
it should be :
int enemyClassChance = random.Next(1, enemyRace.Length);
