How do you access this variable?
mob
     player
          Guild
May 3 2005, 3:46 pm
Well, first you'd have to define it as a variable.

mob/var/player/Guild = ""


I think, anyways. I seem to get corrected everytime I post help on the forums.

Same way you access any other variable. What are you trying to do?

M is probably defined as /mob. If it's always going to be of type /mob/player you can define it as var/mob/player/M.

Well, since you're already braced for it, here goes: Why are you setting this to an empty string if it's defined as a /player datum? While this is technically legal, there's no reason to do it. Why not just leave it with the default value, null?

            // Get the ckey() version of the name to avoid illegal characters for a directory name.
            var/safe_name = ckey(Name)
            
            // Move to the directory for this character, which is:
            // /player_ckey/character_ckey
            F.cd = "/[ckey]/[safe_name]"
            
            // Storing the actual name as a value (not a directory), so we don't have to worry about what characters it has.
            F["Name"] << Name
            F["Level"] << Level
            F["Guild"] << Guild
            F["GT"] << GT
            F["Nin"] << Nin
            F["Gen"] << Gen

            F["BMast"] << BMast
            F["KMast"] << KMast
            F["TMast"] << TMast

This is what I'm using it for.

Well, you seem to have replied to the wrong post here, but I'm very concerned about this:

return char_name
return Nin
return Gen
return Tai
return Vill
src.loc=locate(/turf/LeafStart)


I have no idea what that's supposed to do, but it won't do it. You can only return one value from a proc, and once you do, it's done. None of the code after that first return line will ever run.

So how would you access Guild?
mob
   var
      player
         guild

I gives me an error that the variable's undefined type.

The code in the previous post was to create a character and save all the data into a file.

That suggests to me that the problem is that you don't understand typecasting.

Hopefully, that'll help.

The simple answer is just use M:guild istead of M.guild. Since you are accessing a mob/player/var in a mob/proc, you have to use the :.

You're telling someone to use <code>:</code>? When there are alternatives available?

No you don't. That's bogus advice. You never "need" the colon operator; it's merely convenient for certain situations. In this case it does not belong there, because it would mask over a conflict of types. You just have to make sure you handle types correctly.

The problem is either that 1) this shouldn't be a mob proc, but a mob/player proc, or 2) this shouldn't be a mob/player var, but just a mob var.
