mob
    Write(savefile/F)
        F["x"]<<x
        F["y"]<<y
        F["z"]<<z
        F["icon"]<<icon
        F["overlays"]<<overlays
        F["mob"]<<src
    Read(F)
        F["x"]>>x
        F["y"]>>y
        F["z"]>>z
        F["icon"]>>icon
        F["overlays"]>>overlays
        F["mob"]>>src
        loc=locate(x,y,z)

(Note: don't worry about the icon and overlays, It's so because I need them later to read the icon of the mob.)

How could I save a list to that kind of saving? I tried a couple things, but whatever I tried it erased the list seemingly.

So, how exactly do I save a list in the F["list"]<< and F["list"]>>?

Thanks for your time,

Rick

        F["icon"]<<icon
        F["overlays"]<<overlays
        F["contents"]<<contents
        F["name"]<<name
        var/u = personal.Copy()
        F["list"]<<u
    Read(savefile/F)
        F["icon"]>>icon
        F["overlays"]>>overlays
        F["contents"]>>contents
        F["name"]>>name
        var/list/x = new
        F["list"]>>x
        var/y = x.Copy()
        personal = y
        loc=locate(F["x"],F["y"],F["z"])


Test verb:
mob/verb
    p()
        for(var/t in usr.personal)
            usr<<"[t]: [usr.personal[t]]"


It works fine, but whenever I put F["verbs"]<<verbs and F["verbs"]>>verbs it fails to load the stuff after it. One problem solved, one created. >_<

The verbs list is not saved. Scizzes has a method to save the verbs list and load it appropriately in [link] however. If that doesn't work, Kakashi made one at [link]. I haven't tested either of them, but there's a multitude of topics on the forum that have to do with saving/loading verbs.

Probably because the way you are saving and loading verbs is making it crash. [link] is pretty fool-proof.

Thank you DOS and Garthor. It's fixed. ^_^
