I tried to make it so when you Mine a rock more than 5 times the rock gets deleted

Rock
verb
mine()
src.Mined ++

and

obj/var/Mined = 0

and

proc/Mine()
if(Mined > 5)
del src

it said Mined was an undefined var though

Help is greatly appreciated

This is very messy try this instead
BTW i hope rock is idntified somewhere else in your coding. This will not mine ore it will not delete the rock all it will do is show you that when minedd = 5 it will call the alert
mob
    var
        minedd
Rock
    verb 
        mine() 
            if (usr.minedd==5)
                alert("This rock has broken!!")
            else
                usr.minedd += 1

From wot u've said u want i think this is wot u need:

obj
    var
        Mined = 0
obj
    Rock
        icon = 'pturfs.dmi'
        icon_state = "door"
        Mined = 0   
mob
    verb
        Mine(obj/Rock/R in oview(1))
            if(R.Mined<5)
                                 //*insert mining code here* Everytime u need to use the rock use the variable R. The bit before the else command is a code to test and you should replace it with your mining code.
                R.Mined ++
                usr << "Rock mined [R.Mined] times" 

            else
                alert("The rock breaks")
                del(R)


You'd be better off making the rock an obj not a turf, if u have/will make it an obj then change Mine(turf/Rock/R) to Mine(obj/Rock/R)

Since I can't tell what your code is doing unless you format it properly and include everything:

<code>obj/rock var/amount = 5 verb/Mine() set src in range(usr, 1) usr << "You mine ore from \the [src]." src.amount-- if(src.amount <= 0) del(src)</code>

That's terrible. The first, most glaring problem is the use of alert(). Not only is alert() annoying, but it will give you an error when someone mines a rock, gets the alert, and someone else tries to mine it. It will try to delete the same object twice. On top of that, the verb should belong to the rock, not the mob.

here is what would work well...

obj
    rock
        icon = 'rock.dmi' //or whatever
        density = 1
        var/Mined = 0
        
        verb/mine()
            set src in oview(1)
            //code for what happens when you mine
            
            Mined++
            if (Mined == 5)
                view(5) << "The rock is destroyed..."
                del(src)

You DEFINITELY want to be using if(Mined >= 5) instead of if(Mined == 5) there. If the verb is called enough, Mined can equal 6 or more.

is this any better then?

obj
    var
        Mined = 0
obj
    Rock
        icon = 'pturfs.dmi'
        icon_state = "door"
        Mined = 0   
        verb
             Mine(obj/Rock/R in oview(1))
                 if(R.Mined<5)
                                 //*insert mining code here* Everytime u need to use the rock use the variable R. The bit before the else command is a code to test and you should replace it with your mining code.
                     R.Mined ++
                      vies(5) << "[usr] mines the rock" 

                else
                    view(5) << "The rocks breaks"
                    del(R)

1. You should probably declare Mined under the rock object, unless you actually plan on mining tables, swords, or any other obj in the game. =)
2. The R variable is completely useless, the rock is src here.
3. Unless the rock is going to be in the players mob, he/she won't have access to the verb. You'll have to set src to something, oview(1) seems good.

Well, those are my problems with it. I hope you don't take this as me being mean, I'm just trying to help (you, along with the topic creator). =)
