I have a big ol' list of songs for my game but how do i make it so there is an actual list so when I select a certain song it plays it
Apr 7 2006, 12:27 pm
well you could do it in a input like so:
mob/verb/Play()
    switch(input("What song do you wish to play?","Song?") in list("Pokemon song","DBZ intro","cancel")
        if("Pokemon song")
            world<<sound('ps.wav')
        if("DBZ intro")
            world<<sound('DBZ.wav)

            if("Track1")
                world<<sound('track11.wma')
            if("Track2")
                world<<sound('track2.wma')
            if("Track3")
                world<<sound('track3.wma')
            if("Track4")
                world<<sound('track4.wma')
            if("Track5")
                world<<sound('track5.wma')
            if("Track6")
                world<<sound('track6.wma')
            if("Track9")
                world<<sound('track9.wma')
            if("Track10")
                world<<sound('track10.wma')                                                                         
            if("Track11")
                world<<sound('track11.wma')
            if("cancel")
                return

you need to indent the ifs 2 times to were its like so
mob/verb/Play()
   switch(input("blah","blah") in list ("blah","blah2)
        if("blah")
           usr<<"blah"
        if("blah2")
           usr<<"blah2"

and there is no need to if cancel the switch takes care of it
by make it return when choose. if i am wrong some one plese correct me.

ahh i see what i forgot sorry,
mob/verb/Play()
    switch(input("What song do you wish to play?","Song?")) in list("Pokemon song","DBZ intro","cancel")
        if("Pokemon song")
            world<<sound('ps.wav')
        if("DBZ intro")
            world<<sound('DBZ.wav)

note the extra ) i added to the input

It'd be better to keep an associative list.
var/list/songs=list("Pokemon Song"='ps.wav',"DBZ Intro"='DBZ.wav')
mob/verb/Play()
  var/x=input("What song do you wish to play?","Songs")as null|anything in songs
  if(x) usr<<sound(songs[x])
