Code:


Problem description:

i created emotion verbs but they appear in command tab here is an example

mob/verb
smile() world << "[usr] grins."
giggle() world << "[usr] giggles."
cry() world << "[usr] cries their heart out."

how would i not only create a emotion tab but put these verbs in it and make like smiley face in a small chat box over the users icon

"how do i make" = Developer How-To

category setting(verb) is what you're looking for.

mob/verb
   MyVerb()
      set category="moo moo"
   MyVerb2()
      set category="moo moo"

You have to put set category="Tab Name" under each verb. If verbs have the same category setting, they will be shown in the same tab, or category.

this doesn't work look

mob/verb
smile() world << "[usr] grins."
set category="Emotion"

i get this
Charmed.dm:64:error:set :invalid proc definition

That's because you don't know how to properly program/didn't understand what he was doing. Typically you put what a verb does under it rather than by it's side.

mob/verb/stuff()
       set category = "stuff"
       stuff

mob/verb/emotion()
set category = smile()
world << "[usr] grins."
set category = giggle()
world << "[usr] giggles."
set category = cry()
world << "[usr] cries their heart out."

but i get this
loading Charmed.dme
Charmed.dm:63:error:smile:undefined proc
Charmed.dm:65:error:giggle:undefined proc
Charmed.dm:67:error:cry:undefined proc
Charmed.dm:72:stuff :warning: unused label

If you are going to write the code that way this is how you would get a verb to show under a "Emotion" tab.

mob/verb/Smile()//put the verb here
    set category = "Emotion"//then the category
    world<<"[usr] grins"//then what the verb does


You should be able to figure out the other verbs from looking at that one.

[Edit]
To clarify things this is what i was referring to when i said "If you were going to write the code that way"
