Im trying to code it so if the eye client is on a certain mob you get a verb...my code is:

if(usr.client.eye == mob/units/soldiers/Commander/)
Return_to_char()
usr.client.eye = usr

Why doesnt it work? should i make a variable and have it check that instead? Thanks in advance!

*sigh*

Why does everyone seem to have this problem?

You're trying to compare the client's eye (which is assigned to an atom), to a type path. You can't. They're completely different concepts.

What you want to do is find out whether the eye is set to a certain TYPE of atom:

<code>if(istype(usr.client.eye,/mob/units/soldiers/ Commander))</code>

You also have an indentation problem there.

Indenting is covered in every beginner tutorial. If you don't understand it, go back and read the tutorials again.

It also depends on what else you've put there. Show me the code around that part and I'll be able to correct it for you.

If I can't see code, I can't fix it.

Sheesh. I don't know why I bother.

mob
    var
        health

    verb
        if(usr.client.eye == mob/units/soldiers/Commander/)
            Return_to_char()
                usr.client.eye = usr

        Say(T as text)
            world << "<b>[usr]</b>: <font color = blue>[T]"
            Log_File<<"[src] says [T]"

        See_Owner(mob in oview(7))
            if(istype(mob,/mob/units/))
                usr << "[mob] belongs to [mob:owner]!"

You need to use istype().

i did just not in that bit of coding cuz i just copied it from the first post and put it there

You have to put statements INSIDE procs/verbs. They simply do not work outside of them. Duh.

<code>verb Return_to_char() if(usr.client.eye == mob/units/soldiers/Commander/) usr.client.eye = usr</code>

There, now it's indented properly.

I haven't fixed the problem you originally posted about - you should have enough brains to work it out from the instructions I gave you in [link]

it says this in my dream maker:

mob
    var
        credits = 100
        health
        damage
        owner
        speed
        range
        attack
        control
        moving = 0

    verb
        if(istype(usr.client.eye,/mob/units/soldiers/Commander))
            Return_to_char()
                usr.client.eye = usr


but i dont like posting every bit of my coding

verb
if(istype(usr.client.eye,/mob/units/soldiers/Commander))
Return_to_char()
usr.client.eye = usr

This above is incorrect. Why? You have an if above the proc! This is correct:
verb
Return_to_char()
if(istype(usr.client.eye,/mob/units/soldiers/Commander))
usr.client.eye = usr

try that. should compile just fine.

BUT i want it so it only shows when the eye is on that guy NOT all the time...

Then you have to add/remove the verb at runtime, or attach the verb to the mob you're watching.

Not possible.

Well, actually it is possible, but it's annoying to do. :-)

Look up the <code>verbs list var</code> in the reference. (Press F1 while in Dream Maker.)
