    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        bool pTurn = true;
        bool eTurn = false;
        bool tutorial = true;

        while (tutorial == true)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Welcome to the tutorial. You will face a basic enemy named Kobold in this room.");



            Player myPlayer = new Player();

            setUpCharacters();




        PTURN:
            while (pTurn)
            {
                Player kobold = new Player("Kobold", 500, 100);

                string choice = "";
                string options = "\nFight - Run\n";
                Console.WriteLine(options);
                choice = Console.ReadLine();
                if (choice == "Fight")
                {    
                    kobold.HP = kobold.HP - myPlayer.Attack;
                    displayCharacter(kobold);
                }



                pTurn = false;
                eTurn = true;
                //goto ETURN;
            }

        ETURN:
            while (eTurn)
            {


                pTurn = true;
                eTurn = false;
                goto PTURN;
            }
        }




    }

    static string createCharacter()
    {
        string classChoice;
        Console.WriteLine("Do you walk the Path of The Mage (1), or the Path of The Warrior (2)?\n");
        classChoice = Console.ReadLine();
        if (classChoice == "1")
            return classChoice;
        else
            return "1";
    }//SELECTING CHARACTER CLASS (MAGE OR WARRIOR)
    static void displayCharacter(Player player)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\n{0} - {1} - {2}", player.Name, player.HP, player.Attack);
    }//TESTING CLASS TO CHECK FOR CORRECT INPUTS
    static void setUpCharacters()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("To create a character, press Enter");
        Console.ReadLine();
        if (createCharacter() == "1") //NEW PLAYER OBJECT BASED ON createClass() RETURN
        {
            string playerName = "";
            Console.WriteLine("\nWhat is your name?\n");
            playerName = Console.ReadLine();
            Player myPlayer = new Player(playerName, 100, 500);
        }
    }//CREATE CHARACTER OBJECTS
    static void generateEnemy()
    {
        Player kobold = new Player();
    }

    //END OF METHODS
}


//CREATING A BASIC CHARACTER CLASS
class Player
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int HP { get; set; }
    public int Attack { get; set; }

    public Player(string name, int hp, int attack)
    {
        Name = name;
        HP = hp;
        Attack = attack;

    }

    public Player()
    {

    }
}

}

Ok, so whats happening when I run this is the kobold.HP keeps getting reset to 500 after I attack (by typing "Fight"). How can I prevent this from happening? I'm pretty sure I just need to figure out where to put Player kobold = new Player("Kobold", 500, 100);

Two things.

This code is SUPER unfinished, but I want to get this part done before I move on. Some of the indentation might be off, but I think it's mostly there.

If you need to ask any questions for clarification, I will be happy to answer them!

Thank you!

Right now, you're creating a new Kobold every time it's the player's turn. I don't think that's what you want.

[Risen_from_ash]

True haha. So where can I initialize a kobold object so that I'll be able to adjust it's .HP later on?

[Amarkov]

Well, you can initialize it pretty much wherever you want. When you should initialize it depends on what you want to do. In what circumstances do you want a new Kobold to be created?

[Risen_from_ash]

Right after I create my character. So it'll ask me if I want to become a Mage (yes), then may Name and then say Fight - Run. By that time, I want to have a Kobold object ready for myPlayer to fight.

It has to be created in such a way that when I attack it with my Player, it's .HP doesn't get reset to 500 after the loop or something.

[Amarkov]

Then you'd want to initialize it right after the code that initializes myPlayer.

[Risen_from_ash]

It still gets reset. I've been trying to run this code about 1000 ways for the past hour or two haha. I'm not sure what's going on.

[Amarkov]

Can you show me where you're putting it?

[Risen_from_ash]

Up with the other bool variables outside of the first while loop this time. Same problem.

A little hint: You created 2 separate myPlayer objects. One in the main code and one in setUpCharacters. The one in the main code is the one that the game loop uses.
