mob
    Player
        Login()
            src.client.screen += new/obj/HUD/healthbar
            for(var/i = 1, i < 3, i ++)
            Demote(src)                 // make everybody player
            if((src.admin == "0") && (client.address == world.address || world.address == null))
                Make_Host(src)
                world.status = "<b>Version [world.version] hosted by [src.name]! [PlayerAmount] players logged in.</b>"


var/proc
    PlayerAmount


The code is there, But when someone logs in, he does not get a health bar, nor does the world.status work, And the Make_host does not work too. Ive got all the bases in different files (Like the HUB and Make_Host, The last one being in my admin file) But i thought the error might be obvious but im just too stupid to see it. Oh, and it compiles with 0 errors, so dream maker didnt notice anything either..

Did you set world.mob to /mob/Player? I do this all the time, It's probably just a case of forgetfulness.

Well, I'd bet you haven't set world.mob. World.mob determines what kind of mob is created when a user logs in.

Basically, world.mob defaults to /mob. The base type of mob. If you created a /mob/player type, you should set world.mob to /mob/player. It should look something like this:

world
 mob = /mob/Player


In essence, what this does is tells the world: "Okay, everybody that logs in logs in as one of these."

Get it?

Umm, but how would that help in making the code work? ><

Okay, I'm trying my hardest to put this as simply as I can.

You have created a type of mob called /mob/Player.

The world's mob variable is still set at /mob.

Since your login procedure is defined under /mob/Player, it will not be called when the world creates /mob. So you have to tell the world to create a /mob/Player when the user logs into the world. So, you SET WORLD.MOB TO /mob/Player!

If you aren't bright enough to figure out that code snippet I gave you in my last post is the solution to your problem when I explained it twice, well, you're out of luck.

Look, Takaru, I'm trying to help you. would you put this in your code?

world
 mob = /mob/Player


If NOTHING in that proc is working, and as you claim, you defined everything right, then the proc probably isn't being called.

This will ensure that the proc is being called. Even if this doesn't work, I can continue to help you; We'd have narrowed out a possible solution.
