No, you don't even know the basic, basic, basics apparently. Don't even bother trying to make a game until you do.

mob/Login()
    src.icon = 'icon.dmi'
    src.loc = locate(1,1,1)


Always use src if you can. Using usr can cause problems in a script. Like instead of doing this:

obj/Pizza
    verb/Eat()
        usr << "You eat the pizza!"
        usr.hp + 10


I'd do this:

obj/Pizza
    verb/Eat()
        var/mob/M = usr
        M << "You eat the pizza!"
        M.hp + 10

i was thinking about that over-night :P




            if("Gryffindor")
                src.house = "Gryffindor"
                src.gryffindor = 1
                src.ravenclaw = 0
                src.slytherin = 0
                src.hufflepuff = 0
                src.loc=locate(43,95,4)
                var/obj/gryffindorcloak/GC = new/obj/gryffindorcloak
                GC.loc = src



:/ have to use usr here? coz i get errors "src.gryffindor undefined var"

You should always call ..() in mob/Login(). Naughty boy. Also, you don't have to set the icon in mob/Login() that can just be done under mob.

When programming, opinion matters not. All that matters is everyone adhere to the rules of good programming for that specific language.

Never the less, the general consensus is correct. You can't ask various people to give you snippets and expect it to work. For starters, we all have our own programming style and as such, that might conflict with other users.

Not to mention, when one person doesn't know what the others are doing, time is going to get wasted, things are going to be done poorly and there will be conflictions.

The general consensus is: Never copy and paste code. The snippets given on the forums are made for example. It's up to the receiver to read what they were given, learn how the code works, then at the very least, adapt it into their own code.

If they're asking for help. There is absolutely no way they're planning on doing the snippet the same way.

Besides it's all about how the code is written. Those providing the help are only going to compile the snippet itself in the very most basic sense, just to test it works as it is. It is in no way adapted or configured outside of the environment it was written in.

A snippet written up in a very basic environment, isn't going to work in an advanced environment the requester wants it for. Thus is the basis of learning.
