ok, so I've been trying to do this for couple of days now, so how do I do attacking system where you first target ur opponent and when ur next to him, u attack him? I've tried this but my game crashes when I target opponent :/

Would depend how you plan on targetting. If your game is crashing, you could post what code you may have so we can see why it might be doing so.

How do you go about doing the "targetting" part of the process? Do you click to target? Do you use a verb to target? What?

As for the attacking part, I'm sure it would have to go into the an Attack proc. Something along the lines like: "for mob in oview..." (if not view or get_step) "...Attack()". Where 'Attack()' is calling the attack proc. That's what it would be if you did a DM to English translation. I'm not totally sure how you'd code it.

My targeting is by clicking. I put my current code here now (doesn't crash anymore)


There isn't no attacking as it only says hi everyone when ur next to target, or atleast it should do that :D



mob
    var
        mob/target//variable of type mob, named "target"
        targetoverlay//the overlay for the target you have selected
        targeted=0//if you already somthing targeted
        tmp/Mob1
        tmp/Mob2
        attackon = 1
        attackable=1
        attacking = 0
    proc//calls for a proc
        getTarget(var/mob/M)//name of the proc
            if(M != src)    //attacking yourself is bad form
                if(target==null)//if if you have no target
                    target = M              //get the target
                    if(client)//if it is a client(real person)
                        targetoverlay = image('target.dmi',M)//calls icon from life.dmi, attaches icon to mob, icon state = flash
                        usr << targetoverlay  //only allow the usr to see it
                else//otherwise
                    del(targetoverlay)//remove the target's overlay
                    target = null//no more target
        attack()
            set background = 1
            src.attacking=1
            var/mob/M
            start
            for(M in oview(1,src))
                if(src.target == M)
                    world << "Hi everybody!"
                    sleep(40)
                    goto start
                else goto start


    Click()//click the mob
        usr.getTarget(src)//activate the gettarget proc
        if(src.attacking==0)
            attack()

Why are you creating a loop there with the goto start. Its set to the background so the error doesnt come up and shouldnt crash but your creating an invinte loop there is that what you want. The only thing i can think of that would be useful to do that (and only barely) is if you wanted it to say hi everytime you get close but theres better ways to do that.

        getTarget(var/mob/M)//name of the proc
            if(M != src)    //attacking yourself is bad form
                if(target==null)//if if you have no target
                    target = M              //get the target
                    if(client)//if it is a client(real person)
                        targetoverlay = image('target.dmi',M)//calls icon from life.dmi, attaches icon to mob, icon state = flash
                        usr << targetoverlay  //only allow the usr to see it
Okay, so basically you're doing this: if you're attacking yourself AND attacking nobody AND if it's a real player then it targets them? That must be hard to do :s

I don't think the loop inside a loop helps either. I'll update this (maybe) with a small example.

Here's some crap with some useless code in it. :)


mob
    var
        target
        targetted=0
        mob
            targetting
        list
            targetters=new

    proc
        target(mob/targetter,mob/targetee) //Just to make it confusing.. XD
            if(targetee==targetter)
                targetee<<"lawl yew newb."
                return      
            targetee<<"Kay, yer targetted by [targetter]"
            targetter<<"lyk, wannah attak [targetee] lole?"
///////////////////////////
            del targetter.target
            targetter.target=image('target.dmi',targetee)
            targetter<<targetter.target
            targetter.targetting=targetee
            targetee.targetters+=targetter
mob
    verb
        say(msg as text)
            if(src.targetting)
                src.targetting<<"You're targetter says: [msg]"
                src<<"You say to your target: [msg]"
            else
                world<<"[src] says: [msg]"

            
            
            
client
    Click(mob/m)
        if(istype(m))
            usr.target(usr,m)
            .=..() //not to mention this is in the wrong spot.
Enjoy. O_o I made a lot of useless things, like that list has absolutely no purpose.
