                    set src=usr
                    set category = "Skills"
                    if(usr.Health >= usr.Mhealth)
                        usr.Health = usr.Mhealth
                        usr.HP_MP_CHECK()
                        usr. << "You have full health"
                    else
                        if(Spirit < 10)
                            usr << "You need atleast 10 Spirit to heal."
                            return
                        Spirit -= 10
                        usr.Health+=10+Intelligence+rand(0,5)
                        usr.HP_MP_CHECK()
                        view() << "[src]([key]): Heal!"
                        usr. << "You recover some health"
                        usr.overlays += 'Heal.dmi'
                        spawn(20)

Well, it might be the 'set's that you've got in the wrong spot:
      set src=usr
      set category = "Skills"


Or maybe the . that you've got after usr in this line:
      usr.<< "There is no one around to heal!"
And all the other lines like it.

Other than that, you also shouldn't be using 'usr' here you should be using 'src'. And you shouldn't be using 'view() <<' without an argument, otherwise view() defaults to usr and that can mess things up. You should specify view(src). You also should be using sleep(20) not spawn(20) if you're trying to create a delay before the rest of the code continues. (Actually I can't say that from experience, but I've never seen spawn used that way and its weird and strikes me as wrong.)

Well I changed all the usr to src and moved the sets but it still says I've got a missing expression. Also I'm not really quite sure what you mean by the view() with out an argument.

Does it tell you what line the missing expression is on?
Jun 30 2007, 4:34 pm
In response to Foomer
Its still the
if("Me")

In response to Monkeykid0049
Oh, I overlooked that part. That's because the before it is missing a ) at the end.

Yeah i know that but I have the ) and it still says I'm missing an expression on that same line.

mob
    Assist_Skills
        verb/Heal
            set category = "Skill"
            switch(input("Who would you like to heal?") in list("Me","Someone Else")
                if("Me")

You don't have the ). Look at it closely:

switch(input("Who would you like to heal?") in list("Me","Someone Else")


I count 1...2...3 ('s in this line. How many )'s are there?

Lots of errors...I think I know the problem with some but I dunno

Well I sure don't know what the problem is. Maybe you should post what the errors were!
Jun 30 2007, 4:59 pm
In response to Foomer
I put them after the line with the problem as seen in my previous post.

Maybe you should try using an input() to acquire the mob instead of the "if(mob/M as mob in oview(6))" line which doesn't work at all.

Failing that, your simplest alternative might be to use a for() loop, pick the first one in your loop, then break at the end. But healing the first random mob in view is kind of a dumb way to do it.
