Learning DM might be a start. Cookbook 'coding' is bad for you.

Programming is not about finding 'codes' and throwing them together into an incoherent whole. Learn how DM works, then figure out how to do it yourself.

Either that or use the forum search feature.

well you could do it like...:(Ghetto way)
obj
   Car
      verb
          Get_In()
              set src in oview(1)
              if(usr.incar) return
              usr.invisibility = 1
              usr.overlays += src.icon//this works I know cause I pwn >_>
              usr.CVerbs()
              del(src)
mob
    var
         incar = 0
    proc
         CVerbs()
             src.verbs += /mob/car/verb/Get_In
             src.incar = 1
         RCVerbs()
             src.verbs -= /mob/car/verb/Get_In
             src.incar = 0
mob/car/verb/
     Get_Out()
         src.overlays -= 'car.dmi'//try this  v,v
         //I have my own overlay reset code so I use src.overlays = new but you'd need it....
         src.invisibility = 0
         new/obj/Car(src.loc)
         src.RCVerbs()


Keep in mind this is a really ghetto version lol

You have to use typesof() in order to add more than 1 verb at a time. Your method would generate a runtime error.

Removing overlays like that doesn't work. You have to keep a reference to the overlay in a variable or something.

uh the car only has 1 verb to add and that's get out... so no need for typesof() I'd give him the pwnage system but it depends if he has equipment and crap lol

Um, no. I'm pretty sure that would be typemismatch.

The number of verbs is irrelevant. If you want to add a specific verb, you have to tell it the specific verb too.

So in this case, it'd be src.verbs += /mob/car/verb/Get_In

If you want to add all verbs, you use typesof().

removing overlays like that works for meeee I'd give him the pwnage system but it depends if he has equipment and crap lol

I've tested it and it doesn't work.
