I want to make it so when you click a HUD it activates a verb how would i do this?

P.S. how can i use mob variables in objects?

Read the DM guide. It will tell you how to do that.

Also look up Click().

Look up the call() proc too.

Why? Its unneeded for this. Verbs can be called normally just like procs, especially in Click().

Wrongo. Use Click()

I figure you're referring to Troubadour - HE referred to, with call(), to the OP's 'activate verbs' part, which I corrected him about seeing as it doesn't require call().

i tried calling a verb through call() and regular but i am getting errors(for the calling it regularly it says invalid proc)

P.S. I've seen this done before but i dont know where but you can use a persons variable in an object like a HUD

all i need to know is how to get a verb to execute after a Click() for an obj

You don't execute a verb using Click(). You do what the verb would do with Click().

Example: Set what an attack verb would do as Click() instead of a verb Attack().

mob/verb/MyVerb()
 src<<"WAHOO!"
obj/HUD
 var/CallVerb
 Click()
  call(CallVerb)()
 MyVerb_HUD
  CallVerb=/mob/verb/MyVerb

This should work. However, you may want to work something out with input() or something if you want to do a say verb.

Pyro, he's telling you that he wants to execute the verb. So instead of telling him that he doesn't want to do that, tell him how.
mob/verb/Attack()
//Attack code hither

obj/HUD
 attack
  Click()
   usr.Attack()

mob
   proc
      thingyyouwnat()

obj
   thingy
      DblClick()
         usr.thingyyouwnat()
Now read the DM guide.

Why bother having both a verb and a click-able HUD for it? Kinda defeats the purpose of an HUD shortcut.

There are obviously reasons you could want that. For example, you could let the player toggle the HUD if he wishes, so he can actually see his whole screen (:P).
Also, again, thats HIS consideration. He asked for help with one thing, and you're telling him he doesn't need it with no basis.
