turf/mysterybox
    var/list/prizes = newlist(/obj/anthrax,/obj/gun)

mob/verb/getprize()
    prize()

proc/prize()
    for(var/turf/mysterybox/T in orange(1,src))
        if(T)
            var/obj/item = pick(T.prizes)
            world << "The item is [item]!!"
            new item(src)
        else
            world << "Nothing here!"


It's giving me this:

runtime error: Cannot create objects of type /obj/gun.
proc name: search (/proc/prizes)
source file: testing.dm,27

Help, please.

Help, please.

You are trying to give your 'item' var a new type.

var/item = pick(T.prizes)
var/obj/O = new item(src)
world << "The item is [O]!"

Its still giving me the same error.

roc/prize()
        for(var/turf/mysterybox/T in orange(1,src))
                if(T)
                        var/obj/item = pick(T.prizes)
                        world << "The item is [item]!!"
                        var/obj/O = new item(src)
                        world << "The Item is [O]"

Read over the code I posted again, and fix what you left out.

Still don't get it...

I tried

var/O = new item(src)

But it gives me the same error...

do this

make the list var/obj/prizes = list()

then make
new pick(T.prizes)(src.loc)

it may work

Read the code over again. That line isn't in the code I gave you. Come on, this isn't too hard, Sariat. :P

Okay, I found a solution : I quit.

I busted my toe on a damn brick that some idiot left on my driveway, I can't solve this damn piece of crap, and now I got my mom bitching at me to help some guy out in some homework (First it was Algebra, then it was Geography, now its Geometry, make up your damn mind!!!)

Why on earth are you quitting? The answer is right there in front of you Sariat! I gave you the code! All you have to do is actually read it, and put it into your code. It's not that hard. :P

Well, at least I know what level of dedication you give to your projects now. :P

Damn right. If its worth more than 10 minutes of my time, it ain't worth it.

Ive never actually seen you give up Sariat, considering youve made all those code snippets you are really good at coding and respect your skill at coding.

I know...but that's genneraly how it goes down. I work on it, find a bug, try the allotted 10 minutes of trying. Do something else... get bored, come back, and fix it.
