Problem description:


Well, the code comes up fine, no runtime errors . . . However . . . When I actually test out the Train verb, I can't figure out how to make it end. I tried to make an else directive, but everything I try just doesn't work. Any tips?

P.S. I know I am kind of noobish, but I just started good coding a few days ago. My last game, a few months ago, did NOT go so well . . .

Could you elaborate more on what you mean by making the verb end?

What I mean by making the verb end is stopping the training.

Ah. You'd want to create a variable that you can check to see if the person is still training:

mob
    var is_training = FALSE

mob/verb/Train()
    // This is a simple short-hand way of setting a Boolean to its opposite value.
    src.is_training = !src.is_training

    if (src.is_training)
        src << "You're working out really hard!"

    else
        src << "You're just lounging around."

// This verb more or less does the same as the above verb, and may be more ideal for what you're trying to do.
mob/verb/Train()
    if (src.is_training)
        src << "You stop training."
        src.is_training = FALSE

    else
        src << "You start training!"
        src.is_training = TRUE

There's no loop. You are just are leaving the player's icon_state at "sparfury".
