    iron_rock
        verb
            Pick()
                set src in oview(1)
                set category= "Iron Rock"
                if(usr.mng>=1)
                    if(usr.contents.Find(/obj/iron_pick))
                        usr << "You get an iron ore!  You gain 3 XP for mining!"
                        usr.mngxp+= 3
                        new/obj/iron_ore(usr)
                        del(src)
                    else
                        usr << "You don't have a pickaxe!"
                else
                    usr << "You failed to mine it!"
        icon= 'm&s.dmi'
        icon_state= "iron"
        density= 1
        name= "Iron Rock"


Problem description: I compliled it and I got no errors or warnings but when I test it, it doesn't seem to work. I get an Iron Pick and when I click the Pick verb, it says I don't have a pickaxe. This is more of a in game problem. Do I need to use something else?

if(usr.contents.Find(/obj/iron_pick)


I'm not sure you can do that, try this.

var/found = 0
for(var/obj/iron_pick/I in usr) 
    usr<<"you get exp or whatever"
    found = 1
    break
if(!found)
    usr<<"You dont have a pick."

You should also be able to use:

if(locate(/obj/iron_pick) in usr.contents)

Aha, I knew there was a better way.

Ok, I made it where the player can smelt ore into bars, here is the code:
    furnace
        verb
            Smelt_Iron()
                set category= "Furnace"
                set src in oview(1)
                if(usr.sth>=1)
                    if(locate(/obj/iron_ore) in usr.contents)
                        usr << "You make an iron bar!  You gain 3 XP for Smithing!"
                        usr.sthxp+= 3

Nothing is wrong with it, but I want to know how to delete ore or change it into a bar.

What was wrong with what you had in the first post?

I would pick up a Iron Pick (like I coded it) and it said "I don't have one" which messed it up, but now it works.
