I was wondering if you could put in a feature that lets us create pointers to functions using variables. It would really be beneficial to a lot of people who want to call different procs and verbs without using lengthy switches. This could be useful for all sorts of things, like creating AI systems to let NPC's act with verbs and such, as well as many others.

According to the helpfile for the call proc, you can already do this. I admit, I have not tried it in recent memory though.

Ie: <code> turf/Entered(O) for(var/mob/npc/a in src) a.AI("EnterRoom",O) </code> Unless im missunderstanding you? Alathon\\ | |
