            usr.spieces = "Trainer"
        if("Pokemon")

mob/var
  spieces = "None"

mob/var/spieces=""
It Is a Mob var so you Have to use mob/var, and you cannot do spieces = 0 , you need the spieces = "" To let the code know that the var is going to be containing words

Or you can just do:
mob/var/species

Does the same thing, with less typing.

Don't modify a mob's built in gender. It can only be Male, Female, or Neuter.

i have male and female as a selection
May 30 2012, 2:45 pm
Are they lower-case?

Gender is a built in variable which is why you are getting that specific error.

To bypass that make another variable
mob/var/player_gender

It isn't a read-only variable. You can modify it. It just has to be lower-case. And I was wrong, it can also be plural.

"male"
"female"
"neuter"
"plural"

and no they were uper cased in the spot i did

usr.gender = "Male"

usr.gender = "male" i think because thats what i had at the start when it was working.
