mob/Login()
if(usr.client.address == world.address)
usr.verbs += typesof(/client/Host/verb)

Ok im trying to use this to give the host of the game the host verbs, so far it doesnt work, im wondering if i did something wrong or if there is another way to do this?

Use src instead of usr at Login!

mob/Login()
if(!src.client.address)
src.verbs += typesof(/client/Host/verb)

In Login(), usr is theoretically equal to src; that's why you can use it at all. But src is actually what you should be using anyway.

I believe reading that in some cases especially with isps and firewalls that world.address may not equal the host.client.address.

Actually, from what experience I have with it, the person hosting the game has a client.address with a null value. However, I am not certain that this holds true in all circumstances. I have not tested this with hosting with dream daemon. Unless someone decides to test that possibility, I will tell you that an effective way to see who really is the host of game is to see which person has a null client.address. I posted a demo that shows this as well.

Hmm good point, well then does anyone have another way of giving the host the priviliages that doest hardcode gms or use variables to store the host?

mob/Login()
..()
if(isnull(src.client.address) || src.client.address == world.address || src.client.address == "127.0.0.1")
verbs += kakaka

That covers if your hosting on daemon and local host things.
