Code:

        if("Change Gamemode")
            var/mob/X = input(src, "What would you like to create a vote for?","") in list("Gamemode: Free For All","Gamemode: Heroes vs. Villains","Gamemode: Team Deathmatch","Gamemode: Random")
            if(X=="Gamemode: Free For All")
                world<<"<u><b><font color=gold>Do you want to change the gamemode to Free For All?"
                world<<"<a href=byond://?Yes>Yes: </a></u>[Y]"
                world<<"<a href=byond://?No>No: [N]</a></u>"

// the topic

client/Topic(href)

Problem description: Neither [Y] or [N] Change in world chat when someone votes.

Where are Y and N defined?

It could possibly be the way he is calling Topic()

client/Topic() is generally not called as a procedure; it's invoked during runtime using byond://? links. Everything after the ? gets sent to client/Topic() as the href argument.

Defined?
Oct 29 2013, 9:12 am
Yeah, var N, Y ?
Oct 29 2013, 9:12 am
The variables Y and N...where is their definition statement, are they under an object, or global or...?
Oct 29 2013, 9:17 am
Global.

var/
    Y=0
    N=0

How are you checking if Y and N change? From the code you've given, the two lines will always output the value of Y and N when you initiate a poll. You don't even clear the votes each time the voting process is initialized.

I'm working on the clearing process. I was trying to fix this before going into that.
Oct 29 2013, 9:25 am
So how can you tell if Y or N changed? Simple output ? There should be another proc that shows Y and N?
Oct 29 2013, 9:25 am
I thought it was as simple as outputting both Y/N, but I guess I was wrong. // I tried another proc to call them, it didn't go so well on my attempt. So I deleted it and continued on with other ways at it.

You could output the results of a vote after a certain time, or output each time someone has voted.
Oct 29 2013, 9:30 am
I guess I'll try it that way.

var/Yvote = 0, Nvote = 0
var/current_gamemode = ""
mob/var
    voted = FALSE

mob/verb
    Vote()
        set desc = "Start Vote"
        if (current_gamemode) return //If already a voting session return
        
        input (src, "Start a vote.") in list ("Change Gamemode")
        if ("Change Gamdemode")

            var/value = input (src, "What would you like to change it to?") in list ("Free For All")

            if (value == "Free For All")
                
                for (var/mob/M in world) //Loops through everyone 
                    if (M.client)
                        setVote (alert(M, "Change gamemode to FFA?", "Vote", "Yes", "No"))

                current_gamemode = value

mob/proc

    updateVote()
        world << current_gamemode //Prints the results

        world << "Vote: Yes [Yvote]"
        world << "Vote: No [Nvote]"

    setVote(vote)
        if (vote == "Yes")
            Yvote++

        if (vote == "No")
            Nvote++

        updateVote()
Something like that ^

I did something more dumb down then that x.x
Oct 29 2013, 9:35 am
that's a pretty bad example to follow anyways.
Oct 29 2013, 9:36 am
Is just an example, is not meant to be copied.
Oct 29 2013, 9:43 am
For an example, I think I understand how too do it.

Glad I could help :3
