Bump'in Stats!

Ok I got the you bumped into (obsticle) working
from Your 1st World code. Now I'm trying to get it when a player bumps into a MOB on the map, it changes the var. of one of their stats. This is to be a visual seletion for building a character, instead of the common scroll down menu.

Bump(atom/obstacle)
usr << "You bump into [obstacle]."
obstacle.Block() //do obstacle's special actions, if any
if(obstacle == "hoc_ra")
usr << "You have choosen the sun god, Ra as your religion."
religion = "Ra"

This is the part of my code I'm unsure of. Also hoc_ra
has been declared as /mob with a opec&density of 1.
I'd like to set the stat when the mob is bump'ed!

Where you have religion = ra put, usr.religion = ra
That should work

I would use somthing like this:

mob/Bump(atom/A)
A:Block()
if(istype(A,/mob/Ra_Person))
Convert_To_Ra()

Why not just have A's Block() do the conversion?

That's an even better way!

hmm tried everything recommended here, still nothing. Also when I bump into the mob it seems its not even seeing the and hitting the a dense=1 default turf instead.

Could someone pesudo code how to get a simple bump this mob to set a stat change?

Ah!!!!! I finally got it to compile right. But nothing is happening!!

mob
var/mob/A
Bump(atom/A)
A.Block()
if(istype(A,/turf/hoc_ra))

For some reason its not picking up the /turf/hoc_ra condition when its bumped.

mob/Bump(atom/A)
A:Block()
if(istype(A,/mob/Ra_Person))
Convert_To_Ra()

Why not just have A's Block() do the conversion?

Ok I'm giving this a go again, and this is what I'm left with when I compile.

error:A:bad var
error:hoc_ra:bad var

The error is in your if statement. Obstacle would have to be the text string "hoc_ra". You need to test for the object's type.
if(obstacle == "hoc_ra")
should be
if(istype(obstacle,/(whatever atom type hoc_ra is)/hoc_ra)

I'm more inclined to do it how Alathon suggested. Just put it in hoc_ra's Block() proc. That's how the class trainers in Darke Dungeon work:

Bump(atom/obstacle)
usr << "You bump into [obstacle]."
obstacle.Block() //do obstacle's special actions, if any


(whatever path here)/hoc_ra/Block()
usr << "You have choosen the sun god, Ra as your religion."
religion = "Ra"

Also, you mentioned that it was bumping a turf instead of hoc_ra. If hoc_ra is a mob or obj sitting on a dense turf, it won't be bumped. The Move() routines won't check a turf's contents if it is dense and the moving mob is dense. BYOND already knows you can't enter and stops checking, Bump()ing you against the turf.
