Govegtos

Hi all,i was wondering i have too peaces of code and i was wondering how on earth can i prevent people from iting to be when i have blocked Instant transmission off and vice verse

heres the code i have for the blocking part of it

mob/verb/BLOCK_it()
    block = 1
mob/verb/unblock_it()
    block=0

mob/var
   block

obj/it/verb/it()
    if(block==1)
        usr<<"[M] has blockd it"
    else
        usr.loc=locate(Mx,My-1,Mz)
        usr<<"You IT to [M]"

For my Instant Tranmission part is

obj
    it
        verb
            Instant_Transmission(mob/characters/M in world)
                set name = "Instant Transmission"
                set category = "Fighting"
                if(usr.dead == 1)
                    usr<<"You can't use IT when you are Dead!"
                if(tfa == 1)
                    usr<<"[M] is too far away"

                else
                    for(var/mob/characters/P in oview(1))
                        if(P.npp == 1||P.npc == 1)
                            usr << "<b>You cannot bring [P.name] with you."
                        else
                            P.loc=locate(M.x,M.y+1,M.z)
                            P << "<b>[usr] brings you to [M] with Instant Transmission."
                    usr.x = M:x
                    usr.y = M:y-1
                    usr.z = M:z
                    usr.safe = 0
                    usr << "You go infront of [M]."
                    M << "[usr] blurs in front of you."

How can i go about doing this?

Vito Stolidus	mob/verb Transmit(m as mob, x as text) if(transmitting == "Yes") m << "[usr] says: [x]" else usr << "[m] has transmissions turned off!" Other than indentation, that should work, or something along those lines. --Vito

Govegtos	I get this error blockit.dm:3:error:transmitting:undefined var

Jun 25 2005, 8:13 am In response to Govegtos
CIB	I don't understand this... your transmitting verb seems to be a teleport verb o.o and then vito brings something with txt :S

Jun 25 2005, 8:59 am In response to CIB
Govegtos	So like this mob/verb IT(m as mob, x as text) if(transmitting == "Yes") m << "[usr] says: [x]" else usr << "[m] has transmissions turned off!"

N1ghtW1ng	No. Text has nothing to do with the problem. mob/verb/IT_Block() if(!Block) src << "You block IT" src.Block=1 else src << "You unblock IT" src.Block=0

Jun 25 2005, 7:52 pm In response to N1ghtW1ng
Ol' Yeller	For a more compact sake: mob/verb/blockit() block=!block src<<"You [block?"":"un"]block IT."

Xooxer	obj it verb Instant_Transmission(mob/characters/M in world) set name = "Instant Transmission" set category = "Fighting" if(M.block) usr << "[M] has blocked transmissions." return ... ~X

DeathAwaitsU	How many times do you want me to tell you not to do if(var==1) or if(var==0)?

O-matic	guess you have to do it untill he finnaly listens :P O-matic

Govegtos	What does this error mean? skills.dm:76:error:M.block:undefined var How can i fix this? here is what i have obj it verb Instant_Transmission(mob/characters/M in world) set name = "Instant Transmission" set category = "Fighting" if(M.block) usr << "[M] has blocked transmissions." return ... On that line i have if(M.block)

Ol' Yeller	It means: `It seems that you are ripping Zeta, or have no coding/error/problem solving/finding experience. Please refer to the DM guide for further help on this subject`

O-matic	if you dont even know how to define a var do one of these two things `STOP attempting to code read the dm guide and do a lot of practice.` heres the DM-guide: http://www.byond.com/docs/guide/ and also I recommon: http://developer.byond.com/hub/Zilal/ZBT that should help you on your way up.

...Ever come to think hes just not learning how to code..and O Matic..Your not the best coder out there...So I think you don't tell to be telling people to stop coding..When I first learned I asked tons of people what such and such was...and no one discouraged me by saying..'STOP Trying to code..'

Wizkidd0123	Aseoran, I think that you're misunderstanding what O-matic was saying. He's saying that Govegtos should put aside his game for now, and he should read the DM Guide instead. If he's having trouble defining variables, then I'd say that that's pretty good advice.

Aseoran	I would still say thats discouraging...But whatever..

first of all I never said that I'm the best coder around here. and just because I'm not the best coder doesn't mean I cant give out advise

When I first learned I asked tons of people what such and such was...and no one discouraged me by saying..'STOP

Trying to code..'

I'm not telling to stop trying to code; My point is (like Wizzkid0123 said) I advised him to stop coding if he doesn't know how to define a var, or read the DM-guide.

so please stop this stupidness, in my eyes you've just made yourself look like a little kid who wants to make me look stupid.

RavenHeart	Dude, thats sad, you dont even know how to define a varible...

Jun 28 2005, 12:16 am In response to RavenHeart
Govegtos	And your point is what?

Jun 28 2005, 6:09 pm In response to Govegtos
Ol' Yeller	Nobody's going to help you. You're ripping Zeta, you don't know how to code, you know nothing about Dream Maker. Get in to shape, Govegtos.
