                battletxt="You shoot your gun at [monname] for [str] damage."


Problem description: ok i set battletxt for each class, now in battle at the ----> is where it tells you your own battletxt, yet when i join a fight and i attack, it shows a blank line, just dont add the "---->" to the code.

if yall can help me id apreciate it.

make a verb like this...
mob/verb
    Battle_Txt()
        usr.battletxt = input("What do you want your Battle text to be?")as text
        if(length(usr.battletxt) >=50)
            usr.battletxt=""
            alert("Your battle text is to long!")
            return
        if(usr.battletxt=="")
            return

Im guessing this is some what, what you want?

i wanted it to be set, not them having a choice on what they have, i know most people would be like "Noooo it would be better to give em a choice." and id be like "It's my game and i can do what i want with it." like in that one old song called 'its my party and i can cry if i want to' :p

ummmmmmmmm yeaaah.

Did you make sure there was atleast a value in that variable (eg: set at creation, maybe making it a list of sayings and using pick() to say one of those randomly in the list)?

Wouldn't it work if you replaced src<<"[src.battletxt]" with src<<"You shoot your gun at [monname] for [str] damage."?

In response to Dice1989
and no dice, if you read it carefully it stated that i wanted each class to have its own battle text, therefor not making each attack go like this "[src] attacks [monname] for [str] damage." my way would be making it unique, if i used the bland version my game would be, how would you say... not good.

Hm, try double checking than: 
mob/verb/Debug_1() world<< src.battletxt
That will output your battle text (like I said, just make sure).

And incase you didn't get what I meant about the pick: 
mob/Fighters/Cyborg
  battletxt = pick("Blue screen of terror has been annialated!","I'm so smart that I use Linux.","*whirrrrl* *click* Preapare to be terminated.")


// ...insert the battle proc setup here...
view(src)<<pick(battletxt)
// This will randomly pick one of the sayings in the list defined above and use it.\
If you want one saying to be used less often, look up prob()
