How do I make it so when you begin your game you start out with an Item?
Mar 7 2002, 10:26 am
 
mob
   mobname
       Login()
           new /obj/objectname(usr)


i think thats how you do it...

Although usr should work in mob.Login(), they say, I think it's a very very very bad idea to use it there. Always use src unless you're in a verb.

Ok................... Heres code.
mob
BeeM
icon = 'Male Bee.dmi'
MagicStrength = 4
Now how the heck do I add it so you get an Item,

BeeM
icon = 'Male Bee.dmi'
MagicStrength = 4
BeeF
icon = 'Female Bee.dmi'
MagicStrength = 4
AdventurerM
icon = 'Male Adventurer 1.dmi'
Strength = 7
AdventurerF
icon = 'Female Adventurer.dmi'
Strength = 7

How do you make BOTH BEES get honey and BOTH ADVENTURERS get a gun?

Why don't you try the code that was given to you in BOTH places?

I think what he was trying to say that you obviously dont get is that two ways have been given to you. both work you just did something wrong.

Try this:
mob
  var/list/startitems

  New()
    ..()
    if(startitems)
      for(var/itemtype in startitems)
        if(ispath(itemtype)) new itemtype(src)
        else if(isnum(itemtype)) money=itemtype

  Bee
    startitems=list(/obj/honey)
    MagicStrength=4
  Adventurer
    startitems=list(50,/obj/gun,/obj/flashlight)
    MagicStrength=7

I strongly recommend against using barely-different classes like BeeM and BeeF to do the same thing; you end up wasting a lot of space by coding everything twice. Usually gender can be stated with a few simple var changes; if that won't do, then create subtypes like /mob/Bee/male and /mob/Adventurer/female.
