turf/next

    layer = 999
    Click()
        if(usr.baseselected=0)
            alert("you have not chosen a gender")
            return
        if(usr.baseselected=1)
            src.loc = locate(7,7,1)

By the way i reccomend using if(!usr.baseselected) and if(usr.baseselected).

Just as a note,

if(usr.baseselected=0)


Wouldn't work anyhow, unless I'm mixing up DM with C. But, usually in if statements, the comparison operator needs to be 
==
not 
=


Generally this is because it'll actually assign baseselected to 0, rather than compare the value of it to 0.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yep, i didn't even try to look for another Error =( Good Eyes man but anyway even then he should use the Bullet Proof Code i recoomended dont you think?

Also i reccomend him read the Dm guide since he missed such a simple error which the error itself explains..

Well, yes, you weren't wrong. Just pointing out an additional error.

I'd highly recommend the DM guide also. Original problem was a very simple syntax error.

Only slightly, we aren't allowed to do assignments in conditions, that's where you're thinking of C.
