where are you trying to get this to come up. I ran it in an empty world and it worked perfectly for me. I had a stats screen up and everything just to make sure. The only thing is after I picked a class it said it for a breif second and switched to "Move(locate(1,1,1))" What is that for?

someone told me to put that on there last night. i guess that was a stupid idea... so i just erase the move part and it'll work?

the stats thing works for me cept it says 'currentspell' and the player wont come up. i can move around but there is no player, just the screen.

what do you mean by get the player to come up??

Argh, so many things wrong with that...

1) If you can not see properly, the lines under Login() and Logout() are not indented properly... it should be giving you errors!

2) Using usr is a no-no, essentially because you do not know who usr really is (usr = client that first started a proc.. well, that's 1/2 of the definition anyways). You should be using src, the source of that procedure (which is the player logging in rather than the first client).

3) Why do you have three icon_state modifications? The latest one will over-ride the others. In fact, I really doubt you have an icon state named "Move(locate(1,1,1))".

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?!?!

This code is terrible! Does your icon have the following icon states:

-Male
-Female
-Warrior
-Wizard
-Rogue
-Ranger
-Move(1,1,1)

No? This code would never work! You don't define an icon state for each and every stat screen! If you want it to work, first study a character selection demo, work on yours, and come back knowing at least knowing how to change your gender! (in-game, of course)

Are you aware that if you want 'players' to come up, actual PEOPLE have to log into your game?

You are doing it totally wrong tho...

Why are you setting the icon_state 3 times? and why are you turning Move() into an ICON STATE?

In response to Kazekage
jman, maybe you didnt set the players icons yet.

mob
 rogue
   icon = 'somethin.dmi'
     icon_state = "Rogue"


maybe?

Amazing, GhostAnime. You're the only person I see that has mentioned the errors in indentations, and that sticks out a LOT.

When you focus on something, you lose sight of the obvious... this is a good video to test it:

http://viscog.beckman.uiuc.edu/grafs/demos/15.html

Count how many times the white shirt wearers throw the balls. Afterwards, count how many balls were thrown and you'll see a special surprise... now, I don't think this'll work correctly because this video seems a bit too small.

The assumption is that there was a copy-and-paste error, because that wouldn't have even compiled as-is.
