I have an issue in trying to solve and I would like help
knowing what it is I need to do,because I've tried several ways.I am trying to make a button let a player execute a verb by double clicking it.


the button:obj/hudbuttons/slash
icon='buttons.dmi'
icon_state="med"
screen_loc="1,4"
DblClick()
(something o.o)
the verb I want it to let the player perform when DblClicked on:mob/Sword/verb/Slash

Do you intend on allowing the player to both click the button as well as click a Slash verb in order to use it? Otherwise, it may be enough to simply change Slash from a verb to a proc and call it when the player clicks the button.

yes I Suppose I can do That however I would still like to let them keep the verb in their statpanel as well

is there a way to make the button let the player perform the verb or must I change the verb to a proc?

Well to be honest, you have quite a few options:
Using your current method of onscreen buttons, you could just create another verb that would just call the slash proc although I'm sure there is another way to call a verb directly from your button without making it a proc beforehand (can't recall how to do this with certainty at the moment though)

-or-
Using the interface method of creating buttons, you would just set it's command to the verb and you'd still have both ways of using Slash.

I changed it to a proc btw and it gives me this error,I think its having trouble identifying the mob like that(or its just my crappy coding:P)

runtime error: Cannot read null.Health
proc name: Slash (/mob/proc/Slash)
usr: 478975 (/mob)
src: 478975 (/mob)
call stack:
478975 (/mob): Slash(null)
the slash (/obj/hudbuttons/slash): Click("map", "mapwindow.map", "icon-x=16;icon-y=17;left=1;scr...")
and heres part of the proc:
mob/proc
Slash(mob/M as mob in oview(1))
if(usr.atcking == 0)
var/damage=1.5*usr.Strength
usr.atcking = 1
if(M.ph ==0)
usr<<"You attack [M]"
view(7)<<'Sword1.wav'
that is of course cutting lots of it out however if you know how to fix the problem that would be awesome
