Problem description:

ai.dm:155:error:pickfrom:undefined proc
I'm figuring that it probally requires a external file to function properly either that or its missing a library to make this work...
If you need more information I am currently re-writing the Dreamoor 3.0 code and this error is coming from the ai.dm file as well as several others...
my MSN is [email protected] if you have questions.

Well, I looked trough it briefly and this problem can't be solved unless you post some extra code.

Pickfrom() is not a predefined proc in BYOND so unless you ment pick() you need to post the code where you defined the pickfrom() proc.

I'll look trough it again if you could do this.

what's pickfrom? There exists a proc called simply 'pick()', but no pickfrom unless you know it is defined. If it is, it is probably a child of another object. Also, why are you using :s?

Perhaps I should mention that this code is QUITE OLD... lol
it still had 
visibility = 0
instead of 
invisibility = 1

so the pickfrom proc may very well be pick...

[EDIT]
I just did a find all for proc/pickfrom and came up with a whole lotta bumpkis.

global replaced 'pickfrom' to 'pick' and now I'm down to 4 errors... probaly also simple in themselves... but if my debugging skill goes out the window I'll post here.

[EDIT] now down to 3 errors...
skill.dm:2473:error:M.right:undefined proc
skill.dm:2473:error:M.left:undefined proc
proc/Illusion(mob/M, amount)
 var/places[] = list(M.loc, M.left(),M.right())
 var/mobs[] = list(M)
 if(M.dir!=NORTH&&M.dir!=SOUTH&&M.dir!=EAST&&M.dir!=WEST)
  M.dir=SOUTH
 var/olddir = M.dir
 walk(M,0)
 var/makemore = 2
 while(makemore)
  makemore--
  var/mob/N = new/mob
  mobs += N
  N.icon = M.icon
  N.icon_state = M.icon_state
  N.name = M.name
  N.loc = M.loc
  N.defendeffects += new/effects/illusionary
  spawn(50*amount)
   if(N)
    if(N.combat)N.combat.flee(N)
    del(N)
 var/mob/P
 sleep(3)
 for(P as mob in mobs)
  P.Move(pick(places))
  places -= P.loc
  P.dir = olddir

combat.dm:580:error:M.behind:undefined proc
(this is a snip. the actual bit is rather large)
  jump_kick(mob/M)
   if(ismob(M) && usr.turns)
    usr.turns--
    usr.underlays.Remove(/obj/turns)
    call(/attacks/proc/attack_move)(M)
    var/damage = rand(1,usr.skill:Karate/2+usr.Speed/2)
    if(!M.Move(get_step(M, M.behind()))) //this is where the behind bit is causing problems
     damage *= 1.25
    damage = filter_effects(damage,usr,M)
    M.hp -= damage
    view(5) << "[usr.name] jump kicks [M.name] for [damage] damage."
    quest_check(usr, M)

Unfortunately I cannot find procs for any of these... >.< nor do I know where to start...
(is a newbie coder working with pre-built code [done back in 2002 mind you] to learn how some functions work by editing and watching reactions... it's just how I learn.)

Mmm, well one thing you could do it read trough the code, make clear what the pickfrom() proc needs to do and decide if you can use the pick() proc OR write your own code that sould do the trick.

When i look at it my guess is that offence_spells is a list that "contains" procs (that represent a spell) which are then called by the call() proc.

call(V) (M) would meen that the V proc is called with arguments M

Hope that helps ;)

Oh and 
usr = src
looks like something bad, although i don't know why n_n

I don't know why either but BYOND DM doesn't bitch about it so I don't mind it much. I just want to get this compiled to learn about it.
