Close the skin at runtime?

I'm trying to get the main window to close once you logout using a button I made. del(src) not always causes the skin to close so is there any way to close the skin at runtime?

This verb is called by the button.
LogMeOut()
    set hidden=1
    // bla bla etc
    sleep(2)
    del(src&&usr) // delete everything! I added both usr and src, now it's closing with 100% success rate, but it could just be luck?


Edit: Still not closing every time.

Delete the client, not the mob ^-^

I don't think there's any good/specific way, no. Though you always could set is-visible=false on everything, I guess.

del(src&&usr) // [...]


Naturally, that syntax in there wouldn't do what you'd think. Doing this: 
del(A && B)

Provided A is true, is equivalent to just 
del(A)


Because that's how programming, and &&, work. src is always true, so your line always deletes only src (which also stops the proc...). In short, to have 2 deletions, you need to have 2 dels (unless you use a loop).

All in all, chances are that that code is in a /mob/verb, where src and usr are entirely equivalent anyway, because normally (and commonly) that's the case. This also means there's no point to experiment deleting one or the other.

    set hidden=1
    // bla bla etc
    sleep(2)
    winset(src,null,"command=\".quit\"") // close dream seeker
    del src // i guess you want to delete src

Ah, right. I guess he was talking about actually closing Dream Seeker, not exactly the skin, oops. Should've worded that better. >_>

I think you should stop giving advise and take some time studying programming languages, he was clearly talking about the interface not just the connection.
