mob/var/eye_sight = "4"
mob/verb/Look(M as mob) // Fix view("[usr.eye_sight]")
set src in view("[usr.eye_sight]")
world << "[usr] looks at [M]."
usr << "[name]" // Place mob's visible variables
The problem is that the compiler won't let me for the variable, eye_sight inside view(). What's the problem here? I don't see why this shouldn't be allowed.
Thank you,

I believe this is because eye_sight isn't a list... isn't eye-sight just allowing you to see a certain distance? In which case you need to find a way to tell if it's in your site :)

view() only takes two arguments: an atom and a number. Text strings aren't allowed.

In which case you need to find a way to tell if it's in your site :) No acually, its implemented into using oview, view and what-not. It limits how far someone could using an ability on. For example: Joe is 10 blocks away from Bob. Bob wants to talk to Joe, but his eye_sight is only 6 so Joe has to get closer so they can talk. | |
If you mean that text strings are not allowed in place of an object reference, then yes that is so. But you can use a text string in place of the distance in the "[width]x[height]" format. view("3x1",object) will return everything in view that is at the same y coordinate and within 1 unit on the x axis.

This is another thing which must have been left out of the help file, for it is not there. Someone who knows all the details please explain.
