First, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read this, and now my two problems. I just started making a BYOND game about two days ago and while searching for a BYOND game to play I came across one, where when you talked to a NPC, the text would be in a pop-up and not in the text section. You would proceed by clicking a button that said "Ok".
Does anyone know how to do that?Any advice would be much appriciated. Now my second problem is with a combat system. I looked a Deadron's battle system example and I want to make it so you double-click to attack. I have no idea where to enter the "Dblclick()" code if that is what i should use at all. Please help if you can. Thank you again.

Can't help you with Deadron's stuff, but check the Alert() and Input() entries in the reference.

I have a oddly devised code of my own that allows you to click and attack and gain levels and stuff AIM me at SSnadrew if you interested

You should put Dblclick under the parent to all mobs that can be attacked. Most likely it's /mob, unless you have some ghosts or other entities that cannot be attacked. If that is the case, you might want to put all mob classes that can be attacked under /mob/player or something.

In Dblclick(), just call the normal attack proc from the library.

(Pseudo code, don't C&P!)
mob
   player
      Dblclick()
         var/mob/player/P = usr
         P.Attack(src)  // Library attack proc here

No problem, glad you liked it. I don't want to interefer with your combat system, but be aware of that in situations with lag, players might have a hard time doubleclicking on a mob. Selecting targets from a list and/or auto-attacking could be good as an extra option.
