 Click()
  usr.Hair("++")

This is a fixed version of a snippet of code Cheetoz gave me for list cycling for HUD creation. Now, one semiobvious question is how am I going to get it to where there will be a sort of "dummy" on the screen with the 2 obj's shown in the snippet to cycle the hair on? And if there's any way to improve it, feel free to mention.

You should probaly use todo as a number, and do +=todo. That way you could use -1 for subtraction, and 1 for addition.


And I don't even know if that works, I was just testing it out when I was bored looking for shortcuts. <.<'

You sent me a broken bit of code, and I fixed it up and improved it as shown above. Thanks for the suggestion.

            hair=list(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0)

mob/verb/HAIRPLZ()
    world<<"You now have [CycleItem(hair,"hair",1)]"


You could just make a cycle item proc like so, and run it like that.
