I am tring to make it so people who's key I havent listed can use Deadron's CharacterSaving demo and CharacterHandleing Library to make there character while specified keys will have their character premade. I had this going with Vortezz's Class Selection Demo, but my urge to have saving made me go to Deadrons. Could someone tell me how I can do this? If I can make a verb for me to change the type in-game or if there is magical code that I have not yet found in my hours of coding and adding QWERTYUIOP to my forhead.

If there is any further information that you need to be able to help me out, please Page me or post a reply. I'll check fourms every 2-3mins or so for the next few hours.

Thank you!

In login, have a switch that checks to see who the player is. If the player is one of those that you want to be a special people them modify accordingly.

mob/Login()
    //any other login code you may have
    switch(key)
        if("Iqloo")
            class="creator"
            verbs+=/proc/create_stuff
        if("Loduwijk")
            class="helper"
            verbs+=/proc/Loduwijks_verb


The class and verb settings there are just an example, just do whatever you want to the character there.

And yes, that Loduwijk part is nessessary. *waits a moment* No, I'm just kidding about the part for me. But you probably realised that.

Please don't do that. It is a waste of dantom's bandwith.

In the if, just put:

var/mob/superdude/M=new(loc)
if(M.type!=type)
client.mob=M
del(src)

Posting does not waste bandwith [well, yes it does, but keep reading] Checking the forum every 2-3 minutes is sucking the bandwith down the drain. Me posting to <s>tell</s> ask you nicely to please not waste dantom's bandwith, is hardly doing so. So, simply put, please don't waste dantom's bandwith. Me and wanabe posting are just trying to send the message to you.

c'mon guys if they were too overly worried about it they would add a timer to how often you can refresh the forums thru your cookie or something I mean damn theyve made somethin like BYOND how hard do you think it would be for them to control forum access... if they were really moved to.

He shouldnt of even posted, his post and any after it would be considered spam (even mine, I must admit.) I asked for a code, or some help making one. And he responded with a rude remark. What I said was just a expression, in a sence.. (erm.. I just wanted to get the point across that if you asked me something i would get it back to you ASAP, and to show that I am dedicated to your answer, showing that there time used writing the anser isnt completely in vain, wow, that really didnt make as much sence as I orignally wanted it to.. ANYWAYS..) Thank you for your help, ill try out the code (other string) now, I hope it works..

To be honest with you, I am not sure on whether it would work or not, and I doubt they would spend time on it too...

Even so, if they did interpret this timer thing, people would still be refreshing, therefore actually depleting Dantoms bandwidth even with the timer there, which would then make it a waste of time and a pointless effort.

Do correct me if I am wrong though, as like I said before, I am not sure on whether this is or isn't possible.

Wrong, he was not spamming, he was delivering appropriate sentences for you to read, which you should have taken notice of.

You was the one who was spamming if at all anyone. Seeing as you was the one being *rude* by not taking in what Airjoe and Wanabe were saying. They were telling you the truth, you didn't see nor realise that. I hope you do now, though.

I asked for a code, or some help making one.

Yes, you certainly did, and you also recieved it.

And he responded with a rude remark.

Nope, totally incorrect. He actually was telling you the truth, and it needed to be addressed. You just needed to take in what he said.

What I said was just a expression, in a sence.. (erm.. I just wanted to get the point across that if you asked me something i would get it back to you ASAP, and to show that I am dedicated to your answer, showing that there time used writing the anser isnt completely in vain

Yes, I knew that when I read it, but Airjoe and Wanabe both addressed to you that every 2-3 minutes of refreshing was very bad for Dantom, they took your expression as how you delivered it to the readers, if you said every 20-30 minutes, they might not have been on your case, as for saying 2-3 minutes, I fullheartedly agree as to why they responded to you.

2-3 minutes can drain anyones bandwidth in a matter of minutes, depending on how much bandwidth is alotted and how much bandwidth is being drained during that time.

Thank you for your help, ill try out the code (other string) now, I hope it works..

I also hope it works out for you too, and in return, I would rather you make sure you understand what I am telling you before you go getting angry with what I said. What the forums don't need is flamatory behaviour, If I offend you with what I have wrote, please tell me, and we can continue this within a private conversation to strain both mine and your bandwidth, not Dantoms. therefore keeping the forums cleaner.
