Code:
Problem description:
I got this code from a long time coder:
"usr".loc=location(1,1,1) // allows lvl change
"usr".loc=location(1,1,2) // allows lvl change
"usr".loc=location(1,1,3) // allows lvl change
"usr".loc=location(1,1,4) // allows lvl change
"usr".loc=location(1,1,5) // allows lvl change
unfortunatly..it wont work!!!!!!
i keep getting:
bug catcher.dm:20:error: expected expression
ANY1 KNOW WATS WRONG?????

When changing someone's location, it would be usr.loc=locate(x,y,z). The quotations are screwing you up and you seem to have location. If that is your own proc, I do not know. Although, when using usr, be careful. I would advise that you use src instead if you are calling this proc outside their own mob already, such as src.loc=locate(x,y,z) or loc=locate(x,y,z).

ty for your help.. but now i got a new problem.....
wat u said is a: bug catcher.dm:25:error:= :invalid proc definition bug catcher.dm:26:error::invalid proc definition and i used usr because i need to teleport the user to the next lvl.... usr is user right! | |

This is the WHOLE THING....

It is loc or src.loc, not .loc, and if you are setting someone's location, it would be locate(), not location().

I got this code from a long time coder: Yep. You trusted an idiot. If this person has been programming a long time, then they're incapable of learning. First of all, "usr" in quotes like that is a string. You can't use "string".something in DM and expect anything but a compiler error. A string is not an object. It has no loc to set. Second, usr has no place in a proc, especially a LevelUp() proc. It needs only one piece of information, src, which should be the mob gaining a level. (Of course if you're referring to a transition between different maps, not "levels" in the sense of RPG levels, that's a different story. But still, a proc is not a verb, and should not use usr.)

try this out
world don't mind the spelling errors in the comments, im dutch | |

The M argument in that proc is totally bogus. You have src. Need you no M. my experience with src is it seeks out the nearest non-player mob and adresses that maybe that could be the problem of this code | |

Go read the Guide, right away. src is the mob (or obj, turf, or what have you) that owns the current proc. If you call monster.MyProc(), then within that proc src will be the monster. There is no simpler concept in DM than src. If this is eluding you, you need to learn a lot more. And until you do, you need to stop posting on code problem threads except when they're your own, because you can't offer advice if you don't know what you're doing. Lummox JR | |
