Hey there Cdog1019! Having a coding problem I see? Please make sure to place all code between the DM tags so that the forum can properly render it.

Also, generally when you have a coding problem you should also post the error given by the compiler so we can have an idea of what's wrong. Thanks!

You use the dm tags like this, <.dm>Code<./dm>, without the dot in the tags.

I will go ahead and use the dm tags on your code.
mob
   icon = 'person.dmi'
   var
           hp = 10
           str = 5
           def = 2
turf
     grass
           icon = 'person.dmi'
           icon_state = "grass"
turf
     water
           icon = 'person.dmi'
           icon_state = "water"
           density = 1
world
       name = "My First Game"
       turf = /turf/grass


Could you also post the code error that the compiler gives?

Write <dm> at the start of the code snippet you're posting, and </dm> at the end. Looks like this when you've done it right:

some_code
    proc/whatever()
        world << "ping"


You still haven't posted the error you're getting. What is the compiler saying when you attempt to compile the code? It wouldn't, by any chance, be an 'inconsistent indentation' error? If it is inconsistent indentation, that means that that spacing you're using between blocks (like "turf" and "water" and "icon = 'person.dmi'") isn't consistent - you might have three spaces between "turf" and "water", and five between "water" and "icon = whatever". If that's the error, you'll need to fix your indentation by going through, unindenting completely, and then using the 'tab' key to indent as far as it should be. The Options->Show Tabs toggle might help you here.

due to compilation errors the object tree cannot be trusted for map generation. these errors must be corrected before editing the map.



this is another error altogeather

unable to read map file.dmm

side note:the guy said to use map file dmp but i dont have tha option only dmm

Just take a screenshot after it gives you the popup post it here if you don't know where the errors are, but just so you don't have to:

The errors are shown in the highlighted box:


Copy what it says within the specified text box.
