Hey all, im trying to make a semi-decent MUD, hoping you could help me with a problem.

This is my code

var/list/players

mob

icon='char.dmi'

var/blar
Login()
if(players!=usr) //check if the usr is in the players list, if not
players += usr //add the user to the players list
var/stats[] //define the user's stats
stats["power"] = rand(1,10)
stats["defense"] = rand(1,10)
stats["speed"] = rand(1,10)
stats["magic"] = rand(1,10)
stats["points"] = rand(1,10)
stats["points"] += 5 //add start points
var/savefile/F = new(ckey)
Write(F) //then create a playerfile

..() //after all is said and done, load teh parent.
verb
say(msg as text)
world << "[usr]: [msg]" //the world sees chat output
turf
square
icon='square.dmi'
Click()walk_to(usr,src)



client
Stat()
statpanel("Stats")
stat("Power", mob.stats["power"] )
world
turf= /turf/square


And its saying that mob.stats is an undefined variable.
(newworld.dm:36:error:mob.stats:undefined var)

Thanks in advance.

God damn...
mob
   /var/
      power = 10
      other = 0


mob/Stat()
   stat("Power",src.power)
   stat("OTHER",src.OTHER)

Sheesh explain before giving code.

Like it says, stats is an undefined variable. You need to define it for /mob. Like you have var/blah defined for /mob.

Eh, i defined it and everything now, but i got a new error.
Here's the new code.

var/list/players

mob

icon='char.dmi'

var/blar
Login()
if(players!=usr) //check if the usr is in the players list, if not
players += usr //add the user to the players list
var //define the user's stats
power
defense
speed
magic
points
//set initial stat value
power = rand(1,10)
defense = rand(1,10)
speed =rand(1,10)
magic = rand(1,10)
point +=5
var/savefile/F = new(ckey)
Write(F) //then create a playerfile

..() //after all is said and done, load teh parent.
verb
say(msg as text)
world << "[usr]: [msg]"


statpanel("Stats")
stat("Power",src.power)
turf
square
icon='square.dmi'
Click()walk_to(usr,src)


world
turf= /turf/square

And now it saws src.power is a duplicate definition.
(newworld.dm:33:error:src.power:duplicate definition)

Sorry to just dump code and errors on ya, guys, but im new and really need some help.

You did'nt explain either. As, for that.

mob/var
 power = 10 //A variable for power
 other = 0 //A variable for some other thing

mob/Stat() //A statpanel. Displays what you code in
 statpanel("[usr.key]'s Status") //A statpanel
 stat("Power:",usr.power) //You can use 'usr' since it only displays to the user itself.
 stat("Other:",usr.other)

usr is not totally safe in mob/State(). I'd use src instead. In this case, src is the desired variable. usr isn't the mob that Stat() belongs to, but rather the player viewing the statpanel. Usually they are one and the same, but some games might show one mob's statpanel to another player for one reason or another, and using usr would cause bugs.

You may have to indent it just a bit.

Well, it's safe in Stat() as long as client.statobj is never changed. :)

Alright, I solved my problem :P If i were you i'd laugh at me.
The script didn't work because i was conditionally declaring variables, and apparently thats not good.

Thanks alot, all.
