                spawn(42)
                    for(src != usr)
                        if(get_dist(usr,src) <= 1)
                            if(src.dead == 0)
                                src.hp -= 109
                                usr.deathcheck(src)
                    ..()

Yes... my current code is a wreck. I have no experience in For so you can sum up it sucks.

I want it to do what it says in the title - Detecting other mobs in 1 tile and basicly killing them (But if your around level 60 or something you can avoid that, thats why it isn't src.hp = 0)

The game that needs it is a secret project... and yes, that number the spawn has is used the way I want it.

spawn(42)
    for(var/mob/M in oview(1,src)) // for each mob within 1 tile range of src, that src can see, but is not src, or in src's inventory
        //if(get_dist(usr,src) <= 1) <-- isn't necessary, you're already testing for mobs in 1 tile range
        if(!M.dead) //I prefer this to == 0, because you might just leave it as null
            M.hp -= 109 // I'm using M here, and used it above to refer to each mob in a 1 tile range
            src.deathcheck(M) // You might be in trouble with usr here, you PROBABLY mean src, so I'll assume that
..() // you wouldn't want to put this under spawn, it belongs outside of it


Hope this clears things up a little for you. Also, hope 60 doesn't have anything to do with World of Warcraft. I've lost a number of friends to that wretched abomination.

Thanks. No, this is not a BYOND WoW.

I was just guessing what level you had to be to get enough HP to avoid being killed by that. Ofcourse that was a real bad mistake, as the base HP is 40 and leveling up adds 5.


It seems I need to level 14 times to avoid a kill by that.

(105 / 5 = 21, 21 - 8 (8x5 is 40, you know) = 13, + 1 (For the extra 4 HP needed) = 14)

                            src.deathcheck(M)


Hmm... its partly the same as its "Older Brother" code.

It seems to do nothing now. Showing more of it.

                spawn(3)
                    for(var/turf/T in oview(2,src))
                        new /obj/Poison(T.loc)
                    for(var/mob/M in oview(2,src)) // for each mob within 1 tile range of src, that src can see, but is not src, or in src's inventory
                        if(!M.dead)
                            var/mob/poison = rand(2,12)
                            M.hp -= poison
                            M << "[src]'s Poison Bomb damages you for [poison] HP!"
                            src << "Your Poison Bomb damages [M] for [poison] HP!"
                            src.deathcheck(M)
                usr.freeze = 0

obj
    Poison
        name = "Poison"
        icon = 'Poison.dmi'
        layer = 99 //Yes...
        New()
            sleep(50)
            del(src)


Sleep too short? <_<



UPDATE: Poison is appearing at 1,1,1.

Well, who and where is src? >.>

SRC is the player/AI that uses it.

They are in a location greater then 1 and lower then 20 (X and Y, Z is 1), as the playing field has boundaries.

Besides that, your DeathCheck() proc is backwards...

Look up 'BasicMath' by AbyssDragon. get_steps() is what you need.

You seem to like saying that, I saw you say it 3 times atleast ... you haven't seen my deathcheck.




Solved by just getting rid of it, and just adding a small 0.3 second overlay (not the icon used back there) and then getting rid of it.


But now I want to know how to allow a mob to jump from obj/Water (Yes...) using a verb (attached to this proc), while not diving. Also I wanted it so the jumping mob won't land back into water if the current var/shore is 1.

mob
    proc
        jumpup()
            var/obj/T = locate(src.x,src.y,src.z)
            if(src.jumping == 0 && src.diving == 0)
                if(T.shore == 0)
                    src << "You jump above the water!"
                    src.layer = 56
                    src.jumping = 1
                    
                sleep(8)
                if(T.shore == 1)
                    src << "You land on shore."
                    return
                else
                    src.layer = 17
                    src.jumping = 0
