Let me explain what im trying to do I have verb attached to an object that I want to use to animate other objects.
verb/Alert_Condition()
set src in view(1)
if(usr.tripoliclear >=1)
switch(input("Set condition alert.")in list("green","yellow","red"))
if("green")
if(tripolialert == "green")
return 0
if(tripolialert == "yellow"||"red")
//TODO: code to replace multiple obj at once
now I have a obj right now in two different locations that I want to replace with another obj in both those locations
for instace I have a obj called greenalert at (3,43,3) and (12,43,3)I want to replace this obj with yellowalert if that is selected.
how can I do this?

thank you that will save me from having a problem with that in the future however that was not my question please read through my post when you have time.

Give a tag to the two objects in the map editor, or at runtime (can't be done in the code). Then, use locate("Alert 1") and locate("Alert 2"). Those will return the objects with the tags "Alert 1" and "Alert 2" (without quotes) respectively. Then, you can screw around with them however you see fit.

ok here is what ive got so far.
verb/Alert_Condition() set src in view(1) if(usr.tripoliclear >=1) switch(input("Set condition alert.")in list("green","yellow","red")) if("green") if(tripolialert == "green") return 0 if(tripolialert == "yellow") locate("yellow") del "yellow" tripolialert = "green" if(tripolialert == "red") locate("red") del "red" tripolialert = "green" if("yellow") if(tripolialert == "green") locate("green") del "green" tripolialert = "yellow" if(tripolialert == "yellow") return 0 my question is what to put after del and whats the best way I can place a new object on the map in the locations of the old obj | |
No, var/obj/O = locate("green")
Also, you should just use a single object, and adjust it's name/icon state. So... var/obj/O = locate("ALERT") O.icon_state = "green" O.name = "Green alert" | |

But you can't delete a text string, so that usage of del is incorrect. Also, you're not using the value from locate() for anything; you're looking up an atom with the tag "yellow", and then doing nothing about it. There's no point to calling locate() at all unless you assign it to something: var/obj/O = locate("thing")
locate("thing")
Basically you need to have just one object and change its icon_state as needed, which is the gist of what Garthor said. Use a var to keep track of that object, which will be faster than using locate() every time. Lummox JR | |
ok I think I used the tag incorrectly I tagged both objects on the map as green but when I used the code only one dissapeared.
verb/Alert_Condition() set src in view(1) if(usr.tripoliclear >=1) switch(input("Set condition alert.")in list("green","yellow","red")) if("green") if(tripolialert == "green") return 0 if(tripolialert == "yellow") var/obj/Y = locate("yellow") del Y tripolialert = "green" if(tripolialert == "red") var/obj/R = locate("red") del R tripolialert = "green" if("yellow") if(tripolialert == "green") var/obj/G = locate("green") del G tripolialert = "yellow" if(tripolialert == "yellow") return 0 also I did not understand what you mean by use just one obj this is the first time I have ever done anything like this. | |
They need to have different tags. Only one can be located with a single locate() proc. That's why I said to tag them "green 1" and "green 2". You also have to set their tags once they are created (putting them in the New() proc is okay, but it would be a pain to get their tags right).

my problem is with deleting both taged objects
if("yellow") if(tripolialert == "green") var/obj/G = locate(("green1")&&("green2")) del G tripolialert = "yellow" this does not work. I dont know how to set this up so that the verb will delete both tagged objects. | |
var/obj/G1 = locate("Green1")
var/obj/G2 = locate("Green2") if A != B, then can C = A and C = B? I didn't think so. | |
I didn't read through the problem you're having, but my eyes immediately hit on this line. Totally wrong.
The || operator will make those two parts separate, so imagine this with parentheses around both:
There are two ways to do this right:
