ok, heres my code:
BLAH 
        char_hp=input("how much hp do you want?")as null|text
        if(char_hp<"4")
            usr<<"sorry thats too much, small, or is not a number! it will be set to 12!"
            char_hp=12
which works, but i want it to be:
BLAH 
        char_hp=input("how much hp do you want?")as null|text
        if(char_hp<"4")
            usr<<"sorry thats too much, small, or is not a number! it will be set to 12!"
            char_hp=12//<---line76 in LOGIN.dm
        if(char_hp>"15")
            usr<<"sorry thats too much, small, or is not a number! it will be set to 12!"
            char_hp=12

but whenever i try that it gives me this runtime error:
runtime error: type mismatch
proc name: CreateCharacter (/mob/creating_character/proc/CreateCharacter)
source file: LOGIN.dm,76
usr: Redslash (/mob/creating_character)
src: Redslash (/mob/creating_character)
call stack:
Redslash (/mob/creating_character): CreateCharacter()
Redslash (/mob/creating_character): Login()

and i don't know what it means, plz help

Well, first off, why are you using text input for an HP var? You should set it as num|null or null|num. How can you use > and < comparing a text input?

Second off, Im sorry, but I don't know what the run-time error means. It says type mismatch, maybe it's because your using text.

well, num|null realy helps, thx! now they have to set it as a number, but it still gives me the same run time error. oh yeah and the run time error happens after i put in the hp value. i think it has some thing to do with the 2 ifs, not sure tho...

run time error is an error that happens while your running the program, usually it happens when you use refer to atoms that have been deleted in your code

And sorry, I cant help you unless I know exacly what the run-time error says, if it says anything

He already posted the run-time error. And he didn't want to know the definition of run-time error. He wanted to know what his meant.

For stuff like if(char_hp<"4") make it if(char_hp<4). IE: remove the quotes. They're for strings(text), not numbers.

well i was messing with my code some more and tried this:
        char_hp=input("how much hp do you want?")as num|null
/*      if(char_hp<"4")
            usr<<"sorry thats too much, small, or is not a number! it will be set to 12!"
            char_hp=12*/
        if(char_hp>"15")
            usr<<"sorry thats too much, small, or is not a number! it will be set to 12!"
            char_hp=12

and it poped up with the same runtime error. now im really confused :? i thought it was because of the 2 ifs, WHATS GOING ON?!?!?!?! *run around in circles screaming*

You're still using "4" and "15". just use 4 and 15
