What you have there won't work, mainly because src in this case is the clicked mob. Pretty sure you don't want to take the mob, now do you.

What you'll want to do is make an object for the shorts and modify that.

//this part creates an object type clothes, with a subtype
//of shorts. This saves you some code.
obj
   Clothes
      Shorts
         icon = 'Clothing.dmi'
         icon_state = "Shorts"

mob
    Merchant
        icon = 'TatsumotoTestOutfit.dmi'
        verb
            Talk()
                set src in oview(1)
                switch(alert("What would you like to do?","Shopkeeper","Buy","Cancel")) // \
                    pops open an alert which allows only 3 max options.
                    if("Buy") // if usr press buy this will enable the \
                            proc
                        switch(input("What would you like to buy?","Buy Item") in list ("Shorts","Shoes","Pants","Short Sleeved Shirt", "Long Sleeved Shirt", "Glasses", "Sunglasses", "Summer Dress", "Long Dress", "Skirt", "Kimono", "Blindfold", "Jumpsuit", "Bandolier", "Nevermind..."))
                            if("Shorts")
                                if(usr.gold<10) // if your gold is lower than 10 it will disallow you from purchasing it.
                                    usr << "You cannot afford this!" // tells you, that you cannot buy it.
                                    return
                                else // otherwish you can purchase it.
                                    usr.gold -= 10 // subtracts 10 gold from your original
                                    var/obj/Clothes/Shorts/S = new(usr)  //create a new Shorts object, labelled S
//and puts it in the usr, which is the usr's contents
                                    var/color = input("What color do you want your shorts?") as color
                                    S.icon += color


This isn't tested because I'm at work, but it should be something like that.

                                    return



Alright. Now im getting an error where it doesnt know what S. is

loading New Game Project.dme
Clothier.dm:20:error: S.icon: undefined type: S.icon
Clothier.dm:18:error: S: unknown variable type


Any ideas on how to define this?

Simply copying and pasting my code won't work, of course. Especially when you only copy half of it.

Did you create a new object type? A Subtype? Did you give it those naming conventions? It's not finding it because it doesn't exist in your code. You need to make your own type(s) of object(s) and make the example work for you.

Alright, I got it to color the object and place it in the inventory. However, when the object is equipped the players Icon changes color as well. I think it might be an issue with the way its blending. I think its making usr's color blend

We can't help you without seeing the related code. Please post it.

There is the code that I am looking at. I can ttell where the problem is because i am still shite at code. Sorry if Im being a little slow.

You said that the problem lies when you equip the item. So, it should be within the equip code, correct? Post that.

obj
    verb
        Get()
            set category=null    //this makes sure it will be a hidden verb. Just right click to use the verb
            set src in oview(1)  //when you get close the Get verb shows up
            src.Move(usr)       //puts it in the inventory
            usr << "<b>You picked up a [src]!<b>"     //shows the user in text his actions
        Drop()
            set category=null
            set src in usr       //tells the verb where the item is
            src.Move(usr.loc)   //takes it out of the inventory and drops it where you are standing
            usr << "<b>You dropped your [src]!<b>"

    verb
        Equip()
            set category=null
            set src in usr
            if(usr.equip >= 15)
                usr << "[src.name] is already equiped"  //instead of typing the name just copy and paste this into where is needed.src.name will show Sword is already equiped!
            else
                usr.equip += 1
                usr.overlays+=src.icon

                suffix += "{-Equiped-}" //Makes the suffix appear beside it in the inventory tab
                usr << "<b>You equip your [src.name].<b>"
        Un_Equip()
            set category=null
            if(usr.equip == 0)
                usr << "You don't have anything equiped"
            else
                suffix = ""     //Note*This only works if you have 1 suffix
                usr.equip -= 1
                usr.overlays-=src.icon
                usr << "<b>You place your [src.name] back into your inventory.<b>"


I think that the problem may be that when it colorizes the clothing it colors the enitre 32X32 square. then when it overlays it overlays that too.

It shouldn't. I use a similar code for coloring the hair in my game. It doesn't effect the whole sprite.
Apr 20 2011, 5:44 pm
In response to Pyro_dragons
Yeah, The hair is fine too. Might be as simple as the use of Usr to identify the location. Might just be makign it set the colorization to affect the usr
Apr 20 2011, 5:59 pm
In response to JaffaJoke
Could be, but I'm not sure. Try changing the color first then moving the object into the usr after.

Heres something else Im trying. But I cant get it to recognize the S.blend. I dont understand why, because it is no different from the Hair code.
