How do you pass multiple mobs into a proc?
| |
//here's my coding... I am not sure what is wrong...
mob/proc/attacktest(mob/M) if(!M.key) npcattacks(src,M) mob/proc/npcattacks(mob/M) if(src in get_step(M,M.dir)) npcattacks(src,M) else if(get_dist(M,src) <= 10) walk_towards(M,src) npcattacks(src,M) //Thank you for your time and effort ^_^! | |

How you would want to do that depends on what you are going to do with them, but I will show you two ways you might want to pass multiple mobs as arguments into a procedure.
The first, and probably easier, way is to simply add more arguments to your procedure. If you want to pass both an attacker and a defender into a procedure then put in a variable for each as arguments.
example:
proc/duel(mob/attacker,mob/defender)
Then when you call that procedure in your code and want to pass in both mobs.
example:
//setting up a duel
duel(src,M)
The second way, and arguably the more versatile, allows you to pass in any number of mobs into your procedure. make the argument for your procedure accept a list, and pass a list of the mobs into it.
example:
proc/sight_effect(list/mobs_in_sight)
Then when you call the proc add in a list of all mobs, like so:
example:
var/list/mobs=list()
for(var/mob/M)
mobs.Add(M)
sight_effect(mobs)
Hope that cleared it up. If you have any further questions about it, just explain what you need cleared up.
