Why does /mob/proc/Update() have an argument? Try removing that argument, and using src instead of M throughout the proc. tried that. doesn't work. the hp meter still doesn't update. | |
Are you sure that the obj's Update() proc is being called properly? Is the icon state non-existent?
To test those, put a line in /obj/proc/Update() to make sure it's actually being called. Something like this line would do: <code>world << "[type]/Update(): src.num is [src.num]"</code> Then we can see if it's actually getting that far, and try to fix it. | |
Also, updating it on Stat() will make it laggier. I recommend simply calling it every time the HP changes. The easiest way of doing this is to have a special proc that's the only once that changes HP. If another proc needs to change HP, it calls that HP-changing proc. Then the HP-changing proc can call the mob's Update() proc.
