I was wondering if there is a way to make a message that is only sent to a GM or Host.. thx
Jul 17 2002, 9:45 pm
 
mob/verb/MessageHost(T as text)
    for(var/mob/M in world)
        if(!M.client.address)// The host never has an address var
            usr << "You told [M]: [T]"
            M << "HostMessage from [usr]: [T]"
        else
            continue//continue looping

runtime error: Cannot read null.address
proc name: MessageHost (/mob/verb/MessageHost)
usr: \[Master GM] Shy_guy197 (/mob/NormalLink)
src: \[Master GM] Shy_guy197 (/mob/NormalLink)
call stack:
\[Master GM] Shy_guy197 (/mob/NormalLink): MessageHost("jjjhjh")

Have you tried testing it with someone else? It's been ages since I've used the address var, let me run some tests.

This works in tests:

mob
    verb
        MessageHost(T as text)
            for(var/mob/M in world)
                if(M.client.address)
                    continue
                else if(!M.client.address || M.client.address == world.address)
                    M << "Message to host from [usr]: [T]"
                    usr << "Messaged host: [T]"

What is the exact code you're using? My tests worked 100%.

mob

MessageHost(T as text)
for(var/mob/M in world)
if(M.client.address)

else if(!M.client.address || M.client.address == world.address)
M << "Message to host from [usr]: [T]"
usr << "Messaged host: [T]"

Your indentation is messed up, move the if() and else if() over one tab to the right, and everything under them, too.

All I can think of is that it's a problem with your computer or the way you're hosting.

is there ne thing also like another .address you use?
to identify yourself? or where did you get the verb for it in one of the demos? or something?
Jul 17 2002, 10:42 pm
In response to Shy_guy197
I don't really use demos, it was a code I typed up in 5 seconds, and it works fine on my system, I had my sister connect from her computer 300 miles away and it worked, I had my cousin connect, and it still worked.

well im not sayin its wrong.. yeah theres something wrong with the way in hosting because my other game worked with the code... ummmmmmmmmmmm
Jul 17 2002, 10:45 pm
In response to Shy_guy197
It must be a conflict with your current code setup, I'm not really willing to read more than 40 lines of code on the forum so posting the whole code really wouldn't help.

well i tested it on my game without a map works fine... i added a map it doesnt work get an error..... the same error
Jul 17 2002, 10:52 pm
In response to Shy_guy197
I added a map to mine, and I get the error, this is very weird, it might be a bug, but I doubt it.
