It only works for the soldier..and when u clcik on the icons i made it so if u click on the soldier soldier=1 and alien=0 and so on..
mob/var/Ctype="soldier"
mob/var/Btype="alien"

mob
    verb
        Team_Chat(T as text)
            for(var/mob/M in world)
                if(M.Ctype==src.Ctype)
                    M<<"<font size=2><font color=green>[src.key] team says:[T]"
                else
                    for(var/mob/N in world)
                        if(N.Btype==src.Btype)
                            N<<"<font size=2><font color=purple>[src.key] team says:[T]"

What would "Btype" and "Ctype" hold? You might not be doing the else statement the correct way.
Sep 11 2004, 10:09 am
they hold wether the mob is alien or soldier........and what is the correct way then?

A better way to do that would be to hold the players in lists.

var/list/players=list("aliens"=list(),"players"=list())
var/class
mob
     Login()
          if(TheyChoseToBeAnAlien)//if they're an alien
               players["aliens"]+=src
               src.class="alien"
           else
               players["soldiers"]+=src
               src.class="soldier"
mob/verb/teamsay(t as text)
     var/list/team=players["[usr.class]s"]
     team<<"[usr.key]:   [t]"

Yes that could work but it leave me iwth the same colored text.

You could change the text color yourself if you really want to. I didn't give you a solution, I gave you an example.

In response to HavenMaster
well is there a way to change the text like in mine but using your way?or can u just fix mine?

It's fairly simplistic. I think you should look into more tutorials if you don't understand.

If you really want to change their colors, you could do one of two things:

Give them a color variable (purple if alien, green if soldier) then put:

team<<"<font size=2 color=[usr.color]>[usr.key]: [t]"

Or you could use an if statement. Once again, you need some more practice.

Your way is more confusing and gives me a few errors.Can any1 else see if they could edit or fix mine?

Learn how to reply to posts correctly.

......reply correctly?What did I do wrong?

It does not give any errors if it's implemented correctly and is far more efficient than your method. Mine sends a message as quickly as sending one to world, yours loops through every mob in the world then runs if statements. You'd be far better off to find out what you're doing wrong with what I gave you than to pursue your idea.

So it causes lag all because of my crummy coding?!?!

My point exactly.

Yes. Also, when replying to my post, do reply to my post - not one that's totally irrelevant.

I've already pointed that out to him.

I was just clarifying. He didn't seem to understand.

Poor grammar and posting skills enrage us.
