I'm fairly new at coding so bare with me..
mob
Login()
usr.icon_state = input("What skin color would you like to have?") in list ("light","tan","dark")
loc = locate(/turf/start)
world << "[usr] has logged in!"
icon ='player.dmi'
1st question ^^how do i get this to choose from separate icon files, not within the same file?^^
mob/verb/
OCC(msg as text)
set category = "Social"
world << "[usr] says, [msg]"
mob/verb/
view() << "[usr] say, [msg]"
^^2nd question: How to I get "say to view", I thought this was it, but it did not work.

for #1:
I have 3 icon files. Light, tan, dark. Now the current set up i have is making me use icon states in 1 file. So i tried finding a way to make it select between files instead of just one file, but I can't seem to figure it out. and no just getting rid of state does not do it. So any ideas? | |

not exactly sure how that would be worded:
switch(E) if(A1,A2,...) Statement1 if(B1,B2,...) Statement1 else Statement3 thats what dream maker says... soo -------------------- This becomes.... ____________ mob Login() usr.icon_state = input("What skin color would you like to have?") in list ("light","tan","dark") loc = locate(/turf/start) world << "[usr] has logged in!" ________________ what exactly? _______ I mean i understand >>>if(something) icon = "file.dmi" or something along those lines? I feel like its something obvious that i'm over looking. Care to explain the entire thing? | |
This is what i tried:
mob ERROR MESSAGE: Mob.dm:8:error: if: missing comma ',' or right-paren ')' ________ I dont understand ? I thought i had it, can you tell me what I did wrong? | |
Please encase your code in <dm></dm> tags. The forum will parse it so it looks like readable code. Which makes things much easier for us all.
You're also missing a closing ) for your switch statement. Add a ) to the end of that line. As a rule of thumb to help you with parenthesis, always lay them out before adding the values inside them, like so: switch( input() in list() ) It'll help you to remember. | |
Thank you, but my issue is still not resolved:
__ Before applying your advice mob _____ After applying your advice mob error 1st time: need right ',' or ')'. New error: "What skin color would you like to have" : expected end of statement. I thought this is how i could fix it but this revealed much more errors: mob Mob.dm:7:error: list: undefined proc Mob.dm:13:error: user.icon: undefined var Mob.dm:6:error: switch: invalid expression Mob.dm:7:warning: : empty switch statement Mob.dm:7:error: input: expected "if" or "else" Mob.dm:8:warning: : unused label | |
You're not doing what he told you to, watch your parenthesis.
switch( input() in list() ) Also 3rd down is user. (unrelated) | |
mob Same error though but for the 1st if statement now. Mob.dm:7:error: if: missing comma ',' or right-paren ')' game.dmb - 5 errors, 0 warnings (double-click on an error to jump to it) | |
Got it!
mob 0 errors, 0 warnings | |
this code still is not allowing my icon files to display in-game like i wanted.
What i wanted to do was have a player able to select their skin color at the start. And among other things, but this is how i wanted to start off. So i did this: mob Result? Play has no icon, as if using a null state that isn't there. But that is not the case. What happened? | |
Never mind answered my own question, sorry thanks for everything !!

Please note that using usr in Login() is a very bad idea (unless you are planning to have a one-player game)! Use src instead.
Please refer to this as to some reasons why: http://www.byond.com/members/ DreamMakers?command=view_post&post=35932 | |
Thanks, you know everything worked out, but i changed the density of a item and got this error.

You are getting a locked rsc error because the game is currently running and has the rsc locked from modification.
Close the running game and recompile, you should not get the error. | |
God i was such a noob back then^
