I have another question.. Right now I'm developing a shopkeeper system... so naturally I've downloaded a few demos..but the problem with those is that they define a list with their mob...and just run off of that...

A. What I need is a shopkeeper that actually has the objects attached to him..

B. And then reads off the list of his wares to an input box, reading from the contents variable..

Well the mob does B...but the problem is...A:) if someone could write an quick example it would be quite helpful...it sounds rather painless...but I'm not getting it:) thanks..

I'm not sure at all if this would work, but I'll post it anyway. :P

mob/MerchantTypeOfGuyWithCheapQualityGoods
   contents=list(new /obj/SomeRandomObject,new /obj/SomeOtherRandomObject)


If that doesn't work you could always add objects to his contents in New().

   New()
      contents+=new /obj/YetAnotherRandomObject


Hope this helps. :)

it looks like both ur solutions are the same thing...but a different way to format that code...works great i must add... much thanks:D

p.s. i tried the second solution off the bat..because of the nicer layout..i havent checked the first one:)
