e.g. var/numofmob = (number of mobs on map)

var/mobcount
for(var/mob/M in world) mobcount++ mob count is the number of mobs in the world, this includes npcs. | |
Erm...I get LOTS of errors when i use this code!
skills.dm:640:error:M:duplicate definition skills.dm:640:error:world:duplicate definition skills.dm:640:error:in :instruction not allowed here skills.dm:640:error::empty type name (indentation error?) skills.dm:641:error:mobcount:value not allowed here skills.dm:641:error::empty type name (indentation error?) !!! Would it help if I said what i wanted it for? I want it so that I can make a verb, that fires a projectile at EVERY mobe of a certain type (e.g mob/monster/poo) | |
First of all, the way hazman wrote it wasn't total tab lengths so it will be totally messed up. Maybe that's wahy you got the 2 indentation errors :) Also, I think Haz just gave you part of the coding, not all of it. When i was making a walk() for a ship in my game, it had the duplicate definition. I think this means you have to make it a new () and not in the first one but im not sure :(

skills.dm:640:error:M:duplicate definition
-means that you have a variable named M already. You'll need to find another name for the M variable in the snipplet Maz gave you. Too explain the rest Im going to have too see the entire proc. It sounds like youve messed up somewhere else and confused the compiler. | |
You have probably placed that snippet of code somewhere not allowed, or you wouldn't get those errors. Show the surrounding say, 10 lines each way. The code snippet will have to be inside a procedure(such as a verb or proc)

This could be done by looking in the world.contents for whatever you need.
