when a mob logs in they hear this

mob/Login()
     usr << sound('offtoneverland.ogg')


thats fine, my game has 4 nations to choose from when creating a player these are; furion, ancient, arcadian & sky pirate.When they select a nation and click the Finish button to enter the game from the start turf on the map, I want the main theme music to stop so id use the code
     usr << sound(null)

stops it, next Depending on the nation selected, I want to make a specific song play depending on which nation was picked, example being;
if furion - song a
if ancient - song b
if arcadian - song c
if sky pirate - song d
now i figure ill have to have Vars for the nations like this
mob
     var/furion=0
     var/ancient=0
     var/arcadian=0
     var/sky_pirate=0</b>

and finally my finish button on character select

Finished
     icon='Finished.bmp'
     density=1
     opacity=1
     layer=7
     Click()
        usr.loc=locate(/turf/landscape/start)
        usr << sound(null
          //if furion - song a
          //if ancient - song b
          //if arcadian - song c
          //if sky pirate - song d


I assume i have to add an If statement to this area but im having trouble putting together the correct type of if statement, if statements arent my strongest suits

So any help would be appreciated thanks

Yeah, using dm tags makes DM code more readable.

Actually, you seem to have missed my point. It should come out like this:

mob/verb
 Hi()
   world<<"[usr] says, \"Hi!\""  //See?

so then how about it, anyone got a helping hand seen as I am not so good with if statements and I am not quite sure how to put this one down in code format, I understand if statements to a degree, but thus far my attempts to make this music switch statement have not been going very well

same problem

when a mob logs in they hear this

mob/Login()
     usr << sound('offtoneverland.ogg')

Bumping your thread five times a day is a great way to make people ignore you.

My prefernce would be when they select a class assign it in a varible, lets call this class.

mob/var/class = "furion"

Then we use this varible to assign them their new song using the file proc.

This would play the file furion.ogg .

Then why do you think bumping it will help? Since moderators haven't told you, I will: The rule is that you can only bump a thread once its off the front page and only if it has been off the front page for twenty-four hours. And that's the front page of the particular forums (i.e., for this thread here, not here.
