Problem description: how do i get these 2 to create an Elite 4 tab. i tried creating a new code.dm but that didnt work either... ive tried putting "Elite4" and "Elite_4" where "Gym" is stated and all i get are errors. i have another code for countdown. but once i get the tab to show it should appear in there as well... at least i would assume so...

Presumably you are giving these verbs to someone at some point, or creating a mob for them of this type (/mob/Elite4)?

A bit of an aside, but you don't need to create a variable if all you're doing is placing a new instance of a badge in the player's contents.
var/obj/IceE4Badge/B = new/obj/IceE4Badge
B.loc = M

Can be written as:
new /obj/IceE4Badge(M)

And so forth.

Which one? I gave two possibilities; you're either giving them the verbs, or setting their mob to that type of mob. Furthermore, do you simply not have the verbs, or are they just not going into the Elite 4 tab?

@lordandrew: still new with coding, can you give an example please??

The first argument to atom/New() is the location you wish to place the atom at. So new /obj/IceE4Badge(M) is equivalent to your code, essentially, as he said in the previous post.

@keeth: giving them the verbs when the promotion to elite takes place. no elite4 tab is showing and no verbs are popping up. like wise when i added these verbs to the regular "gym" codes. still nothing.

also, i edited the message after sending please explain. i misread and overlooked what he meant. sorry for the confusion.

Please show the place where you're giving them the verbs.

as for to give them the verbs i want, that is in the initial post...
Feb 11 2013, 9:19 am
lock and close, figured out the solution. the "//" in front of M.verbs+=typesof(/mob/E4/verb)was the issue... thank you anyways for the help...

That'll do it. Commenting out the portion of code you want to execute tends to stop it from executing.

yeah, i posted another post with another problem. thought u had locked this one already...
