I'm coding in something, so when you drag a "testobj" onto a "circle" the "testobj" moves to the "circle"'s location.

client/mouse_pointer_icon='mousepointer.dmi' atom/mouse_drag_pointer=MOUSE_ACTIVE_POINTER mob/mouse_over_pointer=MOUSE_ACTIVE_POINTER obj mouse_over_pointer=MOUSE_ACTIVE_POINTER Circle icon='Circles.dmi' Testobj icon='TV.dmi' Click() src.MouseDrag() src.MouseDrop(/obj/Circle) src.loc=/obj/Circle

But when I do the mousedrop() part, it doesn't seem to work..Anyone know how to fix it?

You've misused MouseDrop(). This should do what you want.

client/mouse_pointer_icon='mousepointer.dmi'
atom/mouse_drag_pointer=MOUSE_ACTIVE_POINTER
mob/mouse_over_pointer=MOUSE_ACTIVE_POINTER
obj
    mouse_over_pointer=MOUSE_ACTIVE_POINTER
    Circle
        icon='Circles.dmi'
    Testobj
        icon='TV.dmi'
        MouseDrop(over_object,src_location,over_location) 
            if(istype(over_object, /obj/Circle))
                src.loc = over_object

FireEmblem	Uh, now the testobj dissappears when I drag it to another circle.

Nov 16 2004, 2:57 pm In response to FireEmblem
Shadowdarke	Sorry. It's placing the testobj inside the circle obj, not in the circle's loc. Change it to this: MouseDrop(atom/over_object,src_location,over_location) if(istype(over_object, /obj/Circle)) src.loc = over_object.loc

FireEmblem	Thanks a bunch, Shadowdarke :D By the way, would it matter if the circle (and testobj) are HUD objects?

FireEmblem	So.. "src.screen_loc" instead of "src.loc"?

Shadowdarke	FireEmblem wrote: So.. "src.screen_loc" instead of "src.loc"? Yes. You should also make sure it is in the client's screen and probably update it's layer so that it appears on your HUD's layer. Make sure to move the actual loc of the obj someplace else too. If you don't the item will stay on the map AND be in your HUD. If this is for a HUD inventory system, move it to the mob's contents.

FireEmblem	Uh... src.loc = over_object.loc doesn't work. src.screen_loc = over_object.loc doesn't work. src.loc = over_object:screen_loc doesn't work. src.loc = over_object.screen_loc gets an error. src.screen_loc = over_object:screen_loc doesn't work. Am I doing it wrong?

Nov 17 2004, 1:50 pm In response to FireEmblem
Shadowdarke	I changed over_object to an atom in the second code post. That's important. If you're using screen_loc you'll need to check it to be certain it is an atom/movable, then make an atom/movable alias to it and access screen_loc

Nov 17 2004, 1:51 pm In response to Shadowdarke
FireEmblem	MouseDrop(atom/over_object,src_location,over_location) if(istype(over_object, /obj/hud/circles)) src.loc = over_object.loc

Here is tested and verified code that will display 3 HUD Circles where you may drag and drop Testobjs. It also shows you a more efficient way to create your HUD circles than you used in Post [link]. There is no need to create multiple obj types for a single variable change.

Please examine it in detail.

#define HUD_LAYER 50
atom/mouse_drag_pointer=MOUSE_ACTIVE_POINTER
mob/mouse_over_pointer=MOUSE_ACTIVE_POINTER

client
    mouse_pointer_icon='mousepointer.dmi'
    New()
        ..()
        new /obj/Circle(src, "EAST, NORTH")
        new /obj/Circle(src, "EAST-1, NORTH")
        new /obj/Circle(src, "EAST-2, NORTH")

obj
    mouse_over_pointer=MOUSE_ACTIVE_POINTER
    Circle
        icon='Circles.dmi'
        layer = HUD_LAYER
        New(client/C, ScreenLoc)
            ..()
            screen_loc = ScreenLoc
            C.screen += src

    Testobj
        icon='TV.dmi'
        MouseDrop(over_object,src_location,over_location) 
            if(istype(over_object, /obj/Circle))
                var/obj/Circle/C = over_object
                src.loc = usr   // move into mob contents
                src.screen_loc = C.screen_loc
                layer = HUD_LAYER + 1 // over the circles
                if(!(src in usr.client.screen))
                    usr.client.screen += src

FireEmblem	Woah, thanks a bundle, but now, I didn't exactly want them in the top of the screen, so I would just change them to "EAST-x" or "NORTH-y" or something, right?

FireEmblem	You are my hero...again. But now, how would I be able to put an item on the circle AND put it in usr.contents at the same time?

Nov 19 2004, 5:37 pm In response to FireEmblem
FireEmblem	Uh...bump? <_<;

YMIHere	Look at [link]. I'm not sure if he edited it for you or you just didn't notice, but it is being put in your contents at the same time it is being put in your screen. =)

No edit. It was there from the beginning. ;)

As YMIHere pointed out, the snippet I posted already does that.

loc and screen_loc are independant of each other. You could display an obj on the map and in the HUD if you wanted. In that snippet, the obj.loc is set to the mob, placing it in mob.contents. At the same time, it adds it to client.screen and makes the screen_loc match the circle's. All you see on the HUD circle is a display of it, when it is actually in your contents.

FireEmblem	What I meant was, like, using a "get" verb, or something, and making the object appearing in usr.contents and a blank circle.
