You need to either remove the "as" or change it to "as mob".

inconsistent indentation
Jan 16 2008, 2:27 pm
In response to Choka
Do this:

dont tab mob, tab verb, tab Super_Slash twice.

Make sure any if/else checks are then tabbed one over under Super_Slash.

   verb
      Super_Slash(mob/M in oview(2))
        var/damage = usr.str - usr.def + 5
        if(damage <= 0)

Make sure that else is on the same indentation level as if.

Else is not on the same indentation level...also, dont just copy code and paste. You could copy, paste, delete all indentation and tab each line to the indentation desired.
mob
    verb
        Super_Slash(mob/M in oview(2))
            var/damage = usr.str - usr.def + 5
            if(damage <= 0)
                usr <<"[M] barely dodges your attack!"
                M <<" You BARELY dodge [usr]'s attack!"
            else M.hp -= damage
                view() <<"[M] takes [damage] damage from [usr]'s Super Slash!!!"
                M:deathcheck()



Also, : is not to be used so lightly. deathcheck() being a proc should take an arguement. Try this:

proc
    deathcheck(mob/M)
        if(M.HP <=0)
        //etc


Then change that M:deathcheck() to deathcheck(M).

calls it inconsistent indentation when i bring else
back one tab
Jan 16 2008, 4:42 pm
In response to Choka
Are you using spaces, or tabs? This is why we don't usually copy and paste as is. How you indent needs to be the same for each line of a proc/verb/etc.

Trust me, that else needs to be on the same intentation level as the if.

For crying out loud, you REALLY have to learn about indentation and programming grammar!
