Removing Verb From Object

ID:143982

Code:
src.verbs -= obj/NAME/verb/VERBNAME


Problem description:

Okay, I've been trying to remove a verb on an object with this piece of code but it doesn't seem to work. I tried messing with it too but either one of three things happen:

1. Compiles successfully but when I test it, the verb won't disappear.
2. Compiles with 1 or 2 warnings.
3. Fails to compile.

What's the problem?

Ok...For one...you put src.verbs...That basically means your trying to take a verb away from your character..But not sure if you can take it away from an object...But also not really sure what you mean...Lol...

Try 
for(var/obj/NAME/verb/V in src.verbs)
    if(V.type==/obj/NAME/verb/VERBNAME)
        src.verbs.Remove(V)

I know it seems alot to remove one verb, but it should definitely work, alternatively, you could try 
src.verbs.Remove(/obj/NAME/verb/VERBNAME)

But I'm not sure about that one

lolololol

No it doesn't. If the procedure is defined under /obj, which it should be, then src will be the object that you call the procedure from.

That should work fine, assuming you've got everything set up correctly.
EX.
mob
  proc

/*  This proc, when added to a mobs verb list and used, will
    add an object based verb to the mobs verb list, remove
    itself from the verb list, and add a verb to remove the 
    newly added verb.
*/
    AddVerb()
      src.verbs += /obj/proc/ImAVerb
      src.verbs += /mob/proc/RemoveVerb
      src.verbs -= /mob/proc/AddVerb

/*  Similarly, this verb removes the object based verb, and
    removes itself, while adding the 'AddVerb' verb back to
    the verb list.
*/    
    RemoveVerb()
      src.verbs -= /obj/proc/ImAVerb
      src.verbs -= /mob/proc/RemoveVerb
      src.verbs += /mob/proc/AddVerb

/*  When a player logs in, add the 'AddVerb' verb to their 
    verb list.
*/  
  Login()
    ..()
    src.verbs += /mob/proc/AddVerb    

/*  This object is storing the verb you would like to add.
    While it is listed as a proc, once added to the mobs 
    verb list it will behave exactly like a verb.  I'm pretty
    sure the only difference between a proc and a verb is 
    that procs are not automatically added to their 
    containing atom's verb list.
*/
obj
  proc
    ImAVerb()
      world << "Hello!"


We need to see a bit more of your code to know what is wrong. The proc or verb where you are adding the other verb, and the object you are using to store the verb.
