var/g = input("Your Gender?","Gender") in list("Male","Female")
switch(g)
if("Male")
var/i = input("Choose a model.","Icon") in list("Alien","Human")
switch(i)
if("Alien")
icon = 'models.dmi'
icon_state = "malien"
if("Human")
icon = 'models.dmi'
icon_state = "male"
if("Female")
switch(i)
var/i = input("Choose a model.","Model") in list("Alien","Human")
if("Alien")
icon = 'models.dmi'
icon_state = "falien"
if("Human")
icon = 'models.dmi'
icon_state = "female"
I am trying to get the code here to let a player select a gender, then depending on male or female a new list pops up asking what icon.. whats wrong with this?
Thanx for your time.

First off, what errors are you getting? I'll read it over again to see if I can see anything by eye..

if("Alien") Shouldn't these, and the male counterpart, be indented? if("Human") icon = 'models.dmi' icon_state = "female" Do this for the alien and male human/alien as well. I beleive this should work. | |

if("Alien") also, under the Female section, switch these two lines: switch(i) var/i = input("Choose a model.","Model") in list("Alien","Human") | |

Just a matter of style here, but since you are doing the same thing in each case, you could slim down the code a little. This will do the same thing, but is a little more readable in my opinion. :)
var/g = input("Your Gender?","Gender") in list("Male","Female") var/i = input("Choose a model.","Icon") in list("Alien","Human") icon = 'models.dmi' switch(g) if("Male") switch(i) if("Alien") icon_state = "malien" if("Human") icon_state = "male" if("Female") switch(i) if("Alien") icon_state = "falien" if("Human") icon_state = "female" | |

This will do the same thing, but is a little more readable in my opinion. :) Personally, I'd just rename the icon_states to HumanMale, HumanFemale, AlienMale, AlienFemale. Even more simplification: var/g = input("Your Gender?","Gender") in list("Male","Female") var/i = input("Choose a model.","Icon") in list("Alien","Human") icon = 'models.dmi' icon_state = "[i][g]" ;-) | |
