var/damn_it = pick(typesof(/obj/card/Normal))
var/obj/cards = new damn_it

It's not creating the types of obj/card/Normal, anyone know why?

Yes it is, you just aren't assigning a location to it.

I didn't show the full code, I am assaigning it a location, I just don't like showing my full codes

obj/cards
mob/verb/test()
    var/damn_it = pick(typesof(/obj/card))
    var/obj/cards/picked = new damn_it
    if(picked)
        world << "picked exists"
        if(picked.loc) world << "picked is at [picked.loc]"
        else world << "picked has no location!"


I believe this test shows that Volte is correct?

You defined the obj as being obj/cards, and in typesof you defined it as obj/card, I believe that test was flawful. =P

Flawful? Does that mean "awful flavour"? Or perhaps "lawful f......"? =P

They're not different types; cards is the name of the var, not part of the path, whereas in /obj/card "card" is part of the type path.
