Hey, I am using Deadron's save file demo here.. I tried modifying it, but in-game both menu's I have made pop-up one after another for some reason..

var/list/gender = list("Male","Female")
help_text = "What is your gender?"
default_value = "Male"
var/char_gen = input(src, help_text, prompt_title, default_value) in gender

var/list/classes = list("Warrior","Mage","Monk","Thief","Paladin")
help_text = "Which class would you like to be?"
default_value = "Warrior"
var/char_class = input(src, help_text, prompt_title, default_value) in classes

var/list/fclasses = list("Mage","Warrior","Monk","Cleric","Thief")
help_text = "Which class would you like to be?"
default_value = "Mage"
var/char_fclass = input(src, help_text, prompt_title, default_value) in fclasses

var/mob/new_mob
switch(char_gen)
if("Male")
switch(char_class)
if ("Warrior")
new_mob = new /mob/warrior()
usr.str=16
usr.con=15
usr.wis=9
usr.int=10
usr.dex=11
if ("Mage")
new_mob = new /mob/mage()
usr.str=8
usr.con=11
usr.wis=14
usr.int=15
usr.dex=13
if ("Monk")
new_mob = new /mob/monk()
usr.str=14
usr.con=14
usr.wis=10
usr.int=11
usr.dex=8
if ("Thief")
new_mob = new /mob/thief()
usr.str=9
usr.con=12
usr.wis=11
usr.int=10
usr.dex=15
if ("Paladin")
new_mob = new /mob/paladin()
usr.str=14
usr.con=13
usr.wis=12
usr.int=12
usr.dex=10
new_mob.name = char_name

if("Female")
switch(char_fclass)
if ("Assassin")
new_mob = new /mob/fwarrior()
usr.str=15
usr.con=16
usr.wis=10
usr.int=11
usr.dex=13
if ("Monk")
new_mob = new /mob/fmonk()
usr.str=13
usr.con=14
usr.wis=11
usr.int=12
usr.dex=8
if ("Thief")
new_mob = new /mob/fthief()
usr.str=8
usr.con=12
usr.wis=11
usr.int=10
usr.dex=16
if ("Cleric")
new_mob = new /mob/cleric()
usr.str=7
usr.con=9
usr.wis=13
usr.int=15
usr.dex=12

new_mob.name = char_name

Then after u choose from both(the class list, so you could choose Monk.. then the same menu pops-up again so you could choose another class like Monk again, or Warrior for some reason), I think it's showing male(the one I choose), then showing females list after picking a class.
Also the player is created good except the stats still show 0?

Thanx for any help.

That's because in the code you have one after the other with no conditions, as shown below. What are you trying to do?

var/list/classes = list("Warrior","Mage","Monk","Thief","Paladin")
help_text = "Which class would you like to be?"
default_value = "Warrior"
var/char_class = input(src, help_text, prompt_title, default_value) in classes

var/list/fclasses = list("Mage","Warrior","Monk","Cleric","Thief")
help_text = "Which class would you like to be?"
default_value = "Mage"
var/char_fclass = input(src, help_text, prompt_title, default_value) in fclasses

Probably because you are setting the usr's stats and not the new mob's stats.

I tried moving a few things around.. but still the same, I did this last:

var/list/gender = list("Male","Female")
help_text = "What is your gender?"
default_value = "Male"
var/char_gen = input(src, help_text, prompt_title, default_value) in gender

var/list/classes = list("Warrior","Mage","Monk","Thief","Paladin")
help_text = "Which class would you like to be?"
default_value = "Warrior"
var/char_class = input(src, help_text, prompt_title, default_value) in classes
var/mob/new_mob

switch(char_gen)
if("Male")
switch(char_class)
if ("Warrior") new_mob = new /mob/warrior()
if ("Mage") new_mob = new /mob/mage()
if ("Monk") new_mob = new /mob/monk()
if ("Thief") new_mob = new /mob/thief()
if ("Paladin") new_mob = new /mob/paladin()

new_mob.name = char_name

var/list/fclasses = list("Mage","Warrior","Monk","Cleric","Thief")
help_text = "Which class would you like to be?"
default_value = "Mage"
var/char_fclass = input(src, help_text, prompt_title, default_value) in fclasses

switch(char_gen)
if("Female")
switch(char_fclass)
if ("Warrior") new_mob = new /mob/fwarrior()
if ("Monk") new_mob = new /mob/fmonk()
if ("Thief") new_mob = new /mob/fthief()
if ("Cleric") new_mob = new /mob/cleric()

new_mob.name = char_name

I fixed this, just moved the stats under /mob/warrior etc. Thanx :)

I'm not clear on what the problem is or on what it is you want to have happen.

I want to be able to choose my class after logging in, then just let my char pop-up.. The problem is whenever I login, choose create a new char, and select my name.. Then when I choose a class between Warrior, Monk, etc. The menu pops-up again asking what class. The second menu that pops-up is the female class list. Which should only pop-up when I choose "Female".

And what are you doing in the code that tells BYOND "only pop up this menu if they chose Female"?

if("Female")

Ah, so you are saying "If the text female, do this."

What does that mean, do you suppose?

Did you maybe mean to say if something EQUALS female?

It's a value that can't change...but not sure where it comes into this.

Well, "Female" is a constant expression.

If he's doing something weird with his code, he could be having the compiler say it expected a constant expression. Not sure where or why, based on his previous postings, though.
