That part should be posted in Classified Ads

Also, we can help you if you could post your mob coding.

Well like yourself I am new to coding so I can't help you with MUCH but i think this problem can be solved by simply dividing the code into deperate different types.

For example:

mob/admin
icon = 'admin.dmi'
key = Bamrulez

mob/npc
icon = 'npc.dmi'

Then when you open the map you will get several different choice about which icon to put in... then when you log in the two should be seperate. Er.. I hope that made sense, as I said i'm new so I don't have a great understanding of the subject. Would be a lot easier if you showed me your coding? my e-mail is [email protected] in case you are interested.

Good luck with it.

wat do u mean well ok, i write this

mob
boulder
icon = 'boulder.dmi'
icon_state = "blulder"
then its correct and i have in on objects for the map.

then i put

mob
wall
icon = 'wall.dmi'
icon_state = "wall"

then my bloulder goes away and i get the wall and all my boulder turn to walls. i dont get it.

Ugh.
Here, repeat this with me;
Do. (Do.)
Not. (Not.)
Offer. (Offer.)
People. (People.)
Game Moderator. (Game Moderator.)
To. (To.)
Work. (Work.)
For. (For.)
You. (You.)

GM is a REALLY bad offer. Why? Because, in the first place, all that does is add MORE responsibility to the person who's working for you, and that's generally unwanted.

Now, about this post's title. "Great coder"? Does it matter if it's a great coder? If someone can help you or improve upon your code, does it matter if the person is a "great coder"? What exactly IS your definition of a "great coder"? Lummox JR, Deadron, Leftley? Do you think people like that are the only people who are qualified to respond to this post? I sure as well hope not.

Also, generally in Code Problems, you're required to post some relevant code to help understand what you're asking. And, in the off chance you decide to do so, use
tags. Please.

Use
tags.
Now, WHY exactly do you have a boulder and a wall as a mob? They should be objects or turf. And, it would be better to put it as;
obj
    Boulder
        icon='Boulder.dmi'
        density=1
    Wall
        icon='Wall.dmi'
        density=1

I think you want to be using obj for the boulder and wall anyway. Try putting them both in path form: obj/boulder, obj/wall etc. Might help.


Edit: ^ on second thought, do what Sinoflife says. :D I'm learning
