Verbs that come with a catch...

i want to make it so that an object gives you certain verbs but only when a certain variable is true...

for instance I want to be able to Slash() with a sword and that looks like this...

obj/Sword
verb
Slash()
//slash code here

then I want it so that when the character gains so much experience he can use a new attack. I have the exp var defined I just need to know how I make it where the verb only appears in the menu when the exp is so much.

Well then, under the slash attack code, put something like:
if(usr.expierience >= 500)
 //attack here
else
 usr << "Must have 500 exp. to use this!"


Hope i helped.

i tried that long before i posted here. i would get a runtime error or a compilation error when I tried to create the verb after the certain var was achieved...

It may not be very pretty but you can just add and remove the verbs manually like this:

obj/Sword/proc
Slash()
set src in usr
//attack code
Super_Slash()
set src in usr
//attack code
Super_Duper_Slash()
set src in usr
//attack code
Attack_Check()
var/mob/M = loc
if(M.exp > 500 && M.exp < 1000)
verbs -= /obj/Sword/proc/Slash //remove old attack
verbs += /obj/Sword/proc/Super_Slash //add new attack
else if(M.exp >= 1000 && M.exp < 2000)
verbs -= /obj/Sword/proc/Super_Slash
verbs += /obj/Sword/proc/Super_Duper_Slash

mob/proc
Level_Up()
equiped.Attack_Check() //equiped is the mob var pointing to what is equiped
//rest of levelup code


If you need any further explanation of this just ask.

thanks I'll try that and see if I like that better than what I already had.
