var/race = input("What race do you wish to be?") in list("Mage","Warrior")
default_value = "Warrior"
var/char_race = input(src, help_text, prompt_title, default_value) in race
var/mob/new_mob
switch(char_race)
if(race == "Mage")
usr.icon = 'Characters.dmi'
icon_state = "Character 25"
new_mob = new /mob/characters/Mage()
usr.luminosity = 2
new_mob.level = 1
new_mob.maxHP = 10
new_mob.maxMP = 10
new_mob.HP = 10
new_mob.MP = 10
new_mob.race = "Mage"
new_mob.strength = 5
if(race == "Warrior")
usr.icon = 'Characters.dmi'
icon_state = "Character 1"
new_mob = new /mob/characters/Warrior()
new_mob.level = 1
new_mob.maxHP = 25
new_mob.maxMP = 25
new_mob.HP = 5
new_mob.MP = 5
new_mob.race = "Warrior"
new_mob.strength = 10









why does it say at the part [if(race == "Mage")]expected a constant expression?

I think it's because you put usr.luminosity.

Inside of a switch() you just need to do if("Mage") or if(whatever) for what you want to check.

You can check out how to use any of the built procs by pressing F1 in Dream Maker.
