Anyone know a tutorial for building.

In building I mean like you need materials to build stuff....

Why don't you look up "building demo" or something simular, learn from it and add thing's that you need.

In that case just make the verb. Make it so that when you click the Build verb it check's your contents for wood, and if you have some you add a new obj to your content and delete the wood. You can add thing's on from there like make it so while your making something, you can't build until your done. I would show you an example to refur to but i'm not exactly sure how and I'm a little busy to figure it. Sorry. Hope this help's.

I have a building system. It lets you build atoms in shapes. It has many tools, such as circle ring block drag line flood click and box. Contact me on aim for it xxdarckwizardxx. I do not feel like posting it on the forums. There is NO building system like this.

i dont think he wants something like icon building i think he wants like building a wall and deleteing 5 wood from your inventory type thing.

First of all you can't bump your post unless its off the front page and its been 24 hours since the last post.

Second of all, people have tried to explain it to you. You just say "say wat?" You obviously want someone to just give you the source for a building demo of some sort.

I'll give you a little push in the right direction, but you're going to have to figure it out, and build on to it. If you post "say wat?" then you don't want help so get off the forums. =D

First you need some type of variable to hold the amount of materials you have so you'll know whether or not you'll have enough to build something. Let's use wood.

mob
 var
  wood = 5


We'll start off with 5 units of wood. Let's say a wooden wall requires 3 pieces of wood to build. We'll define that so we can check it later, and change it if we need to.

turf
 var
  wood_req
 wall
  wood_req = 3


Now you'll want a way to actually build the wall, if you have the required materials, of course.

mob
 verb
  Build()
   var/list/choices = list("Wall" = /turf/wall) // Make an associative list to hold the choice, and its type path for easy creation.
   var/choice = input("What would you like to build?", "Build") as null|anything in choices // Allow them to press cancel if they change their mind about building.
   if(choice) // If they didn't press cancel...
    var
     _type = choices[choice] // Get the type path out of the associated list.
     turf/B = new _type()
    // Note that src.loc is the turf the player is currently standing on. We'll change "src.loc" to a wall, since the wall is a turf.
    if(wood >= B.wood_req) // If they have sufficient wood...
     wood -= B.wood_req // Take the required wood out of the current wood.
     loc = B // Make the turf the player is standing on the turf we chose from the list of choices.
    else // If we don't have sufficient wood,
     alert("You do not have sufficient wood to build this.", "Build") // Tell them.
     del(B) // Delete the created wall, since we don't have the required resources to have it anyway.


This is very untested. I made it all in the forums. Whether it works or not, it should give you an idea of what to do.
