This is the current title screen system I use, I have it to where when someone clicks the "New" button it runs this proc, but anyways, onto the main point.
I was wondering how I could make it to where the actual player can't move until the "conversation" ends. I have the variable set up to work under mob/players/Move(), and that part works, but I don't know how to set the variable correctly so that they can't move during the "conversation". Seeing as it sets src.client.mob to the new_mob variable before the conversation, src.move=1 isn't going to work.

I've tried a LOT of things and I remade my thread because it already had about 3 spaced bumps.

Kalzar	Once you switch from new_mob to src.client.mob it will keep the same vars, I think. If not, just reset it so that you can't move. Also, you switched the mobs, but then you do new_mob << you can just do src << instead. Also, you abused usr.

Artemio	It doesn't keep the same vars, I don't think. I tried src.move=1 but it doesn't do anything. Telling me to set it to where they can't move isn't telling me how to do it. It's obvious I need to set it to where they can't move, that's what I'm asking for. I don't see where I abused usr. For some reason, src doesn't work after I set src.client.mob to new_mob.

Artemio	Nope. Didn't do anything.

Popisfizzy	I already have a system set up like this. It's simple how I do it: mob var/locked = 0 Move() if(locked) return 0 else ..() person verb talk() usr.locked ++ usr << "[src]: How are you?" sleep(15) usr << "[usr]: Good, thank you." usr.locked -- That's how it's set up in my game, and it works fine.

Artemio	Yes, I know how to do it like that, but that's nothing at all like I have my character creation set up, thus that isn't going to work. Because new_mob is a variable, I can't have it have its own Move() proc, so I can't do that.

Echtolion	if im correct, you disabled the mob from moving, but your changing the mob... disable the client from moving during that period of time

Artemio	If you mean setting a client var and doing the move prevention check under client/Move(), doesn't work. "`Cannot modify null.move`" is what I get when I add in `src.client.nomove=1` under the new char proc.
