Code:
if("Owner Options")
                        if(PH3==usr.name)
                            switch(input("What would you like to do?","Your House")as null | anything in list("Set Users","Name House","Sell House","Cancel"))
                                if("Set Users")
                                    usr<<"This feature isnt currently up"
                                    return
                                if("Name House")
                                    src.name=input("Name your house or put a message on door!","House Name",src.name)//right here it allows them to name their house.
        return
                                if("Sell House")
                                    usr.Gold+=100000
                                    usr.house=0
                                    usr << "You get 100,000 for your house. Hope you remembered to get your stuff out!"
                                    world<<"<font color = blue>***[usr] has put [src] up for sale!***</font>"
                                    PH1=0
                                    return


Problem description:

Ok, what I'm want to do is make it save the name the user chooses for their house so I don't have to rename it every time someone buys a house. How can i just save this name, and nothing else? Thanks.

//You could try something like
//In a random 'look' verb;
mob/var/obj/owner

turf/verb/Look()
   usr<<src.owner.housename

//And thus you would save 'housename' as a mob var.

if("Name House")
   usr.housename=input("Name","Housename") as text

mob/verb/Buy_House()
   //Do your stuff
   src.owner=usr

Huh? Sorry, but I couldn't make head or tails of what you said, it's kinda jumbled up.

I'm sure there's a rule somwehere against bumping that much.

As long as it's a day after the last post in the thread, AND it is off the front page, it's legal. That's my understanding of the rules, at least.

I think we're trying to move away from that old rule of thumb, though. (It was never actually a rule as such, just a convention.) Bumping is discouraged unless it adds more information.

Speaking of more information, it's needed in this case, because I don't quite get what the problem is. =) Why does the name get lost in the first place? What kind of object is a house - a datum? Turf? Something else?

The house is...well, you name the door of your house, or put a little catchphrase on it or something. Anyway, it's a turf.

All I want to do is save just the rename of the turf and nothing else. Any help here? Thanks much guys. (goes back to humming Reckless Fire) Heh, just wanted to put that in for fun. Ignore that.
