mob
    verb
        Say(msg as text)
            world <<"[usr.key]:[msg]"

When you type if you are near a person it will say who..but i jsut want it to go to the world...I thought there was no way it was me but i guess it is..or is it?

Try something like
verb/Say(T as text)
 world << "[T]"


Msg as Text wont work

try this
mob/verb
    Say(msg as text)
        set name = "World-Say"
        set category = "Commands"
        world() << "[usr] Says: [msg]"

This is what I use.

I agree strongly with Garthor on this one. Very strongly. And what the bajeebus is world()? It's not in the referance. And that usr should be src.

Perhaps it's the product of a mind saturated with (way (((too) (many)) (parentheses))).

And that usr should be src.

Not that it matters too much, because it's a verb. But the rule of thumb that you should use src in place of usr where possible is generally a good one, yes; I always apply it myself.

Firsyou don't have to put the () after world.Second if you want it to go in the command category you can just put
set category = ""
Which will put it in commands or just put
mob/verb
    Say(msg as text)
        set name = "World-Say"
//Not setting it to anywhere will still do the same.
        world() << "[usr] Says: [msg]"

Specifically in cases such as:
mob/GM/verb/Force_Say(mob/M, var/msg)
  M.say(msg)

If you used usr, it would cause the GM to speak. If you used src, it'd work correctly.

So you're saying if i did src.say(msg) it would cause M to speak instead of the GM?
