is it possible to make it so one person sees one set of icons and the other player sees a different set of icons...i tried alot of things like vars and if, and image() but im haveing a lot of trouble. I'm making stratego and i don't want you to see your opponents pieces. if you don't know how to do rthis exactley as i want leave a post with an idea on how to do it!

I was talking about your double-posting habit.

Attach two image objects to each piece and output the appropriate one to the player.
obj/game_piece
    var/image
        front; back
    New()
        front = image(, src, "front")
        back = image(, src, "back")
    proc/set_image(color)
        switch(color)
            if("red")
                front.icon = 'red.dmi'
                back.icon = 'red.dmi'
            if("blue")
                front.icon = 'blue.dmi'
                back.icon = 'blue.dmi'
mob
    proc/see_pieces()
        var/obj/game_piece/O
        for(O in my_side)
            src << O.front
        for(O in opponent.my_side)
            src << O.back

Stratego? I LOVE THAT GAME!!! I hope the game comes out soon. :)

Ahh, Stratego... I was working on a Stratego project and made it so when you put your mouse over one of YOUR pieces, it showed the name on the screen, if it's not yours, nothing happens.

Clever. Anyway, I searche dfor stratego, and I found Dmingmage's project. I can move the pieces even if they're not assigned yet... And I can name the pieces anything. (I.E I can name a piece "pie" instead of "F" or "B")

Just thought I'd give you the heads up.

I showed you how in my example. As for icon states, yes you can have multiple front ones with the various types of pieces, and one back.

i think im confusing the compileir...everytime i try to compile it the game locks up...
obj
    Pieces
        var
            image
                front
                back
        New()
            front = image(, src, "front")
            back = image(, src, "back")
        proc
            set_image(color)
                if("red")
                    icon = 'red.dmi'
                    front.icon_state = "front"
                    back.icon_state = "back"
                if("blue")
                    icon = 'blue.dmi'
                    front.icon_state = "front"
                    back.icon_state = "back"
thats what i did with you snippet and now i get these errors

In response to Dmingmage
Are you sure it's "red.dmi" and not "Red.dmi"? You have to put the exact file name.

positive...but now it doesnt lock up.....now it has a prob. where when it loads the screen is black

In response to Dmingmage
Try going to "Build" and clicking "Clean Compile". That will wipe the rsc file and re-uplaod all of the resources to it. That might fix the problem...Not exactly sure. I'm not too familier with error messages.
