I have changed all the things as you have said and no errors have appeared, only problem is the head still doesnt appear when you have been located into the castle

This might have something to do with the fact that the first argument to New() is always Loc... try this:
<code>obj top_half New(Loc,mob/M) if(istype(M,/mob/player/fighter)) icon = 'fighter.dmi' //blah, blah, etc, etc if(istype(M,/mob/player/knight)) //blah, blah, etc, etc</code> And: <code>src.overlays += new/obj/top_half(null,src)</code> | |
I don't think that's right, actually... That thought crossed my mind when I was typing that code, so I performed a test...
I passed a single argument through New(), and it wasn't the location... And it worked fine... It was the following code: mob Login() src.client.screen += new /obj/HUDobject(src) obj HUDobject New(mob/M) M << "Hello, there!" And it came out just fine... So it must work this way (unless I stumbled upon some fluke...lol)... My guess is that he has a problem in the naming of the icon_state for the head icon, or that he didn't change the icon_state in the teleporting code... | |
Actually, that first argument is still the location. What that's actually doing, if I'm not mistaken, is creating the HUD object in the mob's contents. It still works, but it's not entirely doing what it appears to be doing. =)

Ahhh, good point... Well, in that case, the code I gave him should be doing the same thing...so it still can't be what's causing the trouble...
It might not be the best way to do things, but it must work that way...lol | |
castle_entrance1
left icon = 'buildings.dmi' icon_state = "left_entrance" Entered() src.overlays += new/obj/top_half(null,src) src.icon_state = "body" usr.loc=locate(17,1,1) src << sound("chronoguardiacastle2.mid",1) Is there a problem in there that I cant see? | |

castle_entrance1 Yup, sure is... The problem is that in Entered(), src is the turf, not the player... So what this code is doing is adding the overlay to the turf, and changing the turf's icon_state, and playing a sound for the turf...lol It works to warp the player, because you're using usr in that line, and usr usually is the mob that walked into the turf... However, using usr in Entered() is not the way to go (as Lummox will grunt at you in his caveman voice if he sees this...lol)... Entered() is set up to accept an argument of the thing that walked into it... In this case, Entered(mob/M) will work... M will be set to the mob that entered the turf... For the rest of the code, replace src and usr with M... Like: M.overlays += new/obj/top_half(null,M) and so on... Then it should work just fine... | |
Well the multi tiling works now but the players head appears as its body icon_state =/ Anything that may be causing this?

I can't tell you for sure what's doing it, but I'll go over how it has to be done once again:
The bottom half has to be one icon, and the top half has to be another icon... (different .dmi files, not just different icon_states) Then, each icon has to have its corresponding icon_states named the same... The bottom icon has to have an icon_state that shows just the regular player's small icon... Name it "normal" (or whatever you want, I'm just using that as an example) It also has to have a second icon_state, for the big view of the legs... Name that "townview" (again, or whatever) The icon for the top half has to have two icon_states as well... One that's just a blank icon_state, named "normal" (or whatever you named the regular small icon_state in the first icon... it has to be named the same) And the second icon_state in this file has to be the top half of the big version... Name that one "townview" (or whatever you named the legs in the first icon) And then, it will work... | |
Sorry I havent replied for a while, I was in Spain. How would I manage to set 2 icons for different characters then? Would I create them like fighter_head.dmi and fighter_body.dmi etc. ?
| |
Yup... Just make two different icons, one for the bottom, and one for the top...
The bottom icon is the icon you give to the player... The top icon you assign to the overlay object... | |

It'll have to go into a proc...
What you can do is put all of that if() checking into New(), and give New() an argument of mob/M...
obj
top_half
New(mob/M)
if(istype(M,/mob/player/fighter))
icon = 'fighter.dmi'
//blah, blah, etc, etc
if(istype(M,/mob/player/knight))
//blah, blah, etc, etc
And so on...
Then, when you add the overlay, do it like this:
src.overlays += new/obj/top_half(src)
(this line will have to go after the player has chosen a player type, and is logged into that type of mob)
What this will do is take the player (src), and pass them into the top_half's New(mob/M) proc via the mob/M argument... M will be equal to the player, so it'll go through, and check M's type, and change the object's icon, icon_state, etc accordingly...
