Hi, im trying to change my battle system from a simple command list promt to a skin button layout which pops up when in battle then goes away after the battle, but i havent got much knownledge on skins >_< tried some things but it just didnt work at all. How would i go about this?




                var/list/commands = list("Fight","Item","Run")

                var/command = input(A, "Please select a command.","Command?") in commands // Base commands to use from
                switch(command)
                    if("Fight")
                        FightBattle(A, B)

...etc

(You forgot about "Switch" ;p)

Pass an arg from the button's command to the verb that executes the code for the corresponding option.

//command on the button
Verby "Fight"

//verb being called by the button's command
mob/verb/Verby(Command as text)
    switch(Command)
        if("Fight")
            //fight code
        if("Switch")
            //switch code
        if("Item")
            //item code
        if("Run")
            //run code

Interface controls, such as buttons, cannot call procs, no. Only verbs. You're going to have to create a verb that calls the proc(s) you want the button to call.
