runtime error: cannot remove from list
proc name: Smelt (/obj/forge/verb/Smelt)
source file: skills.dm,49
usr: Cloud (/mob/characters/Knight)
src: Forge (/obj/forge)
call stack:
Forge (/obj/forge): Smelt()
my code is like this

if (prob(10))
usr << "You smelted your tin ore to a bar!"
usr.contents+=new/obj/tinbar
usr.contents-=/obj/tin
else
usr << "You ruined your ore."

Problems:

  • You're trying to remove a type path from a contents list; contents contains atoms, not types, so you have to use locate() to find a tin bar.
  • You forgot to close your HTML tags and use <DM> around your code.

It formats the code so it doesnt wrap around to stay on screen, and its much easier to read. And just to let you know that its spelled mining.
