I am trying to convert my look verb into an obj but it doesn't seem to work. Can I please have some help?
mob/verb/Look(M as mob in oview(7))
set hidden = 1
set category = "Actions"
view(7) << "[usr] stares at [M] to some up his abilities"
usr << "\yellow [M] ([M:key])"
usr << "\yellow Trained in the fighting style of [M:FS]"
usr << "\yellow Ranked as a [M:rank]"
usr << "\yellow Is with the alliance of [M:gang]"
if(usr.rank == M:rank)
usr << "\yellow [M] would be a good oppenent!"
if(usr.rank < M:rank)
usr << "\yellow [M] wouldn't be much of a challenge!"
if(usr.rank > M:rank)
usr << "\yellow [M] would give you a run for your money"

Change all of your colons into periods. Periods are the proper way to refer to variables within an atom. I was right, you are progressing pretty well with DM. I still need help wih this though lol. ~Ray~ | |

I am trying to convert a few verbs into icons to put them in verbless stat panels. I tried to do that with my Look verb and it gets no errors, but it doesn't work. Here is what I have: mob/verb/Look(M as mob in oview(7)) set hidden = 1 set category = "Actions" view(7) << "[usr] stares at [M] to some up his abilities" usr << "\yellow [M] ([M:key])" usr << "\yellow Trained in the fighting style of [M:FS]" usr << "\yellow Ranked as a [M:rank]" usr << "\yellow Is with the alliance of [M:gang]" if(usr.rank == M:rank) usr << "\yellow [M] would be a good oppenent!" if(usr.rank < M:rank) usr << "\yellow [M] wouldn't be much of a challenge!" if(usr.rank > M:rank) usr << "\yellow [M] would give you a run for your money" obj/Look icon = 'HUD.dmi' icon_state = "Look" Click() usr.Look() ~Ray~ | |

First of all, it should be a proc, not a verb. Have a verb that calls the proc if you want both. Second, when you call the proc, the M as mob in oview(7) doesn't get inputted, so you'll need an input, so when you click on the look object, have...
var/mob/M = input(mob in oview(7)) usr.Look(M) Or something, I'm tired. Also, using colons will NEVER generate a compilation error, unless if the var is never, ever created. It's used in cases where some piece of input makes sure the mob/obj/turf/etc. has that var, but because the compiler can't always tell (like if(istype(mob/M,mob/Ugly) return) when you're making sure it'll work, you have to use a colon just to get it to compile. It'll produce a runtime error if the mob doesn't have that var defined. Uh oh, I'm rambling again... | |
