I keep getting this runtime in my code, I don't know what it means.

runtime error: Cannot read "Nothing".name
proc name: Stat (/mob/Stat)
source file: Statpanel.dm,259
usr: Kix (/mob/Newchar)
src: Kix (/mob/Newchar)
call stack:
Kix (/mob/Newchar): Stat()

If I had to guess, I'd say you've set a variable to text and are trying to use it as an object. Show the code around the error if you still can't figure it out. =)

You don't know what that means, but you own a game that's on the published list? BLARR! If the runtime is not obvious itself, it's telling you that Number is in text-string and not a num! If you want Number to be a num, then use the text2num() procedure as so: 
Number=text2num(Number)

The problem is, I need it as a text, due to it being such a big number, otherwise its in Scientfic Notation, and well, I hate SN.

Edit: Mind you, this is only in the statpanel, it isnt a text anywhere else.

Well, you either have it not work, or you have scientific notation. Your choice.

I'd only use num2text when displaying this number then.

Check my edit, because it shouldnt be giving problems then.

It is. its like
stat("Stat","[num2text(stat)]")

Also mind you, this is the only player with this runtime. Everyone else does not get it.

Oh, I see it now! My fault, it has nothing to do with numbers. =| The problem is an atom is in a text string! Sorry.

Look up: Statpanel.dm,259 and post the line/s.

How the hell did I put an atom in a text string X_X Okay, ill look it over.

I was wondering where you got that number from. =)

Here they are

        if(monsterinparty != null)
            statpanel("Summon")
            stat("Name:","[monsterinparty.name]")//line 259
            stat(null)

Since my DreamMaker and DreamSeeker programs are being fuzzled, I've been unable to program for a bit, therefore making me "soft". I need to program! *drools*

First of all, you shouldn't have "stat(null)". It's ugly. Anyway, monsterinparty isn't a reference, it's text. So you can do "stat("Name:",monsterinparty)" or leave it the way it is, but when adding to mob.monsterinparty, do "monsterinparty=monster" instead of "monsterinparty="monster"".

How are you setting monsterinparty? It looks like you've set it to "Nothing" somewhere, set it to null (without any quotes, or it will turn into a string) if that's the case.

Oh, I think I get the giffy of it! You have "Nothing" as the base value for monsterinparty. If so, instead of having "if(monsterinparty != null)" you should check if monsterinparty isn't "Nothing" like so: "if(monsterinparty!="Nothing")"

It's starting as null.

mob
  var
    mob/monsterinparty = null


What I think is Kix the player thats getting the runtime, set his monster's name to Nothing and maybe its messing up.

It's because I misread "Nothing" for "Number" and got confused. =/

In response to Metroid
Then you are probably setting monsterinparty to the monsters name. Set it to the monster itself.

You don't need the .name part in the statpanel, you're all ready adding the name to the variable.
