We have no idea how your game works, or what exactly you even mean. Please try to rephrase it and be more descriptive so we can point you in the right direction for figuring out your problem.

You never even bothered to read my reply to your post. No one here is a psychic(I hope, anyways...) and will be unable to help you unless you explain more clearly. It's like saying "I want a book". What kind of book? What genre of writing do you want in this book? Is there a title in particular you'd like? If you want a "premade summoning code" here's one.
mob
    verb
        PremadeSummoningCode()
            usr << "You are summoning!!!"

As you can see, no one can help you unless you're more specific. <small>**Wonders if more than the code area of this post will even be read**</small>

You don't understand do you? Look at the tutorials, look at the demos and try something yourself. Once you have tried it post it on here, and be a bit more patient and polite!

Dumb*** A premade on not some crappy code you came up with in five minutes! Iam talking a bout one that makes a thing with a icon and follow you and you have a command for it like dismiss and attack! do you like messing with me or are you really that dumb?

Yo Jon88, do not reply to this! I think he is only starting these posts so he has an excuse to flame people!

If you find people are replying in a way that does not benefit you, that's most likely because you are not phrasing things correctly, or are asking for something that demands that sort of response.

Swearing and flaming is not allowed on these forums. You have absolutely no grounds to demand anything. Remember that people are here of their own free will, and if someone helps you, its their own time they use, and they aren't getting anything in return for said help.

Thank you,

There is no "summoning code". Programming is not a jigsaw puzzle. There isn't a set amount of pieces, and they dont all fit together nicely, in a certain pattern. It's up to you to design the pieces that go together.
My idea of a "summoning code" might be entirely different from yours, or Jon88's, or Deadron's, or Spuzzum's. For example, a spell to summon a familiar in my game looks like this: 
Spell
    minor_familiar
        name = "Minor Familiar"
        keyword = "familiar"
        school = "Conjuration"
        duration = -1
        Effects = list("/Effect/familiar")
        stack_info = STACKLVL_FAMIL
        stack_type = STACK_LEVEL
        level = 1

        SetMsg(mob/M,toggle,type)
            switch(toggle)
                if("on")
                    switch(type)
                        if("owner")
                            return "You conjure a creature from the void."
                        if("other")
                            return "[M.shortdesc] conjures a creature from the void."

                if("off")
                    switch(type)
                        if("owner")
                            return "Your familiar disappears in a puff of smoke."

npc/familiar
    smurf

    proc
        LookAround()
            send("[Name()] rises from the ground and peers around...", oview(src), 0)
            send("Master, I am here to serve you!", oview(src), 0)

    var/tmp/mob/real/master

    Del()
        if(master)
            if(master.pet==src)
                master.pet=null
        ..()

Effect
    familiar
        smurf
            F = /npc/familiar/smurf

        var
            tmp/npc/familiar/F

        AddEffect(mob/M)
            if(!istype(M,/mob/real))
                CRASH("[M.shortdesc] can not have a familiar.")

            var/mob/real/R = M
            if(R.pet)
                send("You already have a familiar([R.pet.Name()])", R, 0)
                return

            var/npc/familiar/N = new F()
            R.pet = N
            N.master = R
            N.loc = R.loc
            N.LookAround()


        RemEffect(mob/M)
            if(!istype(M,/mob/real))
                CRASH("[M.shortdesc] can not have a familiar.")

            var/mob/real/R = M
            if(R.pet)
                var/npc/familiar/N = R.pet
                send("[N.Name()] disappears in a puff of smoke.", oview(N), 0)
                del N


Now I HIGHLY Doubt that you can use that for anything.

If you want to know how to make a "summoning code", mayby you should ask for help on how to code something yourself, and then specify what it is you are looking for. This forum isn't here for people to hand you pieces of code for your game.


Think about what summoning involves, and then try to think about what it involves programming-wise, then if you can't figure out how to accomplish it, tell us what you've tried, what you are trying to do, and then im sure someone will help you if you ask in a polite manner.

Whatever you think you are doing... trying to degrade the people on this site for personal amusement, trying to flame, or whatever the reason is, it's not cool... Or funny. Everyone will tell you that you will never get help if you just demand things without giving it any ounce of effort yourself and you especially won't get any by the way you are talking. So try to act mature(if only enough to keep you out of trouble) or stay out of the forums.

I wasnt trying to flame but for me alot of things are going on and iam trying to keep cool a good amount of coding I have done for myself but iam not good at coding and I dont know how Byond works at all me myself iam used to the easy drop and click of RPG Maker 2000 and 2k3 but once i found that it was illegal i tried finding a new way.Iam new to Byond I dont know much about it iam getting used to it but some people like to post nonsense to my forum and ive been having a hard time with alot of things lately! All i really need is a example summoning code that work with Kunark's RPG Tutorial 2 and i was going to edit and change the code because I dont know start any kind of code.

Everyone gets mad and loses their temper once in a while, but remember, you can always choose not to press 'Post' :)

The best thing you can do, is learn how things actually work. Read some of the massive amounts of information on this website (The Blue Book, The Guide, The FAQ, The ZBT Tutorials), and start simple.

Now the way you explained yourself there was much better. And just for showing some maturity I will give you 2 hints on how to make a summoning code. Here are the two things you would want to use.

locate() and Move()

And like Alathon said, read in the online addition of the Blue Book which you can find a link to in the Announcements forum under the Thread called, "Blue Books for all"

So go there and read about those 2 procs, and while your at it. I would suggest just reading the Blue Book anyways... It will teach you much about the DM language and get you on a great start... But don't leave tutorials out either... Zilal's tutorials are great. And so are the rest of them. Read them and the Blue Book, have some patience(quite a bit of it at some points) and you will be able to things that will make summoning codes seem like childs play.
