Findtext and other things...

mob/verb/say(T as text)
    if(findtext("WHO","who"))
        var/mob/M
        usr << "<b>Players</b>:"
        for(M)
            if(M.client)
                usr <<"[M]"
        return
    world<<"<small><b>[usr]</b></font> Yells [T]"


Problem #1: What i want this to do is if it finds the phrase who it outputs how many players there are and not display what the player said to the world. However it displays it anyway and i don't know how to stop it. So how would i stop it?

[Edit]
Problem #2: it also is displaying Players: Jiskuha every time i say something instead of if i say who.

Your telling findtext() to find "who" in "WHO", which it always will

You want findtext(T,"who").

One thing to note, this will trigger even if someone happens to say something like "I wonder who did it..."

Which is why he can take the IRC approach of using keywords infront of the word.
EX: "*who", ":who", etc...

Yeah, I was aware of that. I'm just using that snippet i whipped up right there for testing.

P.S. If anyone could help me with Problem #1 that's posted up there still that'd be greeeeeeeaaaat!

if(findtext(T,"Who"))
    //blah
else
    world << "[src]:[T]"



I think that would do it >.>

Code Problem:Two different outputs.

Channels/proc
    Say(T as text)
        if(!T)return
        if(findtext(T,"!Join"))
            usr.Join()
            return 0

mob/verb
    Join(Channels/r in Channelss)
        if(r==null)
            src <<"No Channels Registered."
        else
            if(usr.CChannels != null)
                usr.CChannels.Leave(usr)
            r.Join(usr)
            usr.CChannels = r


Channels are there and they show when i hit the verb. However, when i type !Join it says No Channels Registered.

I think it has something to do with the way you are calling it. Maybe it is because you are not giving usr.Join() an arguement when it is expecting one in the verb...I might be wrong =P.

I tried usr.Join(Channels/r in Channelss) No luck.
Does anyone know how i should be calling this?

How to call it, eh?
Well, as you can see:
Join(Channels/r in Channelss) has some args, so you would have to do something like:
var/q=rand(1,Channelss.len)
usr.Join(Channels[q])

I dunno' if it worked or not, but, here it goes:
var/q=rand(1,Channelss.len) = Picking a random channel from 1 to Channelss max length
usr.Join(Channelss[q]) = Picking a channel from Channels with the length of q.

The point here, is, well, you're looking to see if "" is in there, and it's not. You need to find something that would find the text that you need. (EX: findtext "!Join Jiskuha's Lair" or something)

I want it to have the same function as the verb Join. It shows all of the channels in the list however this does not list the names and forces the player to know the others names. How can i get it to have the same function as the verb?
