As some of you know, i have been trying and trying to make these multi tiled players when they enter a town, castle, dungeon etc. But I still dont know whats wrong. I havent got a clue what to do here but below is the coding, of course it is wrong. I am a newbie to multi tiling so please help me as best you can.
mob
Fighter
icon = 'fighter.dmi'
pixel_y=0
Warrior
icon = 'warrior.dmi'
pixel_y=0
obj
head
if(new_mob = "Fighter")
icon_state="head"
pixel_y=32
layer = MOB_LAYER
if(new_mob = "Warrior")
icon_state = "head"
pixel_y=32
layer = MOB_LAYER
How do I get the obj/head to work correctly so when I enter somewhere the src.overlays += new/obj/head works for ALL players?

Ok the coding works but now the icon is still just the players lower half. Can you give me an example of what a turf, say grass, would look like with the commands to make the players icon switch and add its head please?

Calling it in New() is as good a place as any. Can you give me an example of what a turf, say grass, would look like with the commands to make the players icon switch and add its head please? No idea what you mean by that. Please clarify. Lummox JR | |
Ok here is an example of entering a castle, what I mean by that is:
turf castle_entrance1 icon = 'buildings.dmi' icon_state = "left_entrance" Enter() src << sound('music.wav',1) src.icon_state = "body" *src.overlays += new /obj/head* Something like that, the pieces between the *'s are what Im really after. | |

If you're going more for an overworld/underworld system where the mob has one appearance in one map, and a bigger appearance with the overlay in another, then you should give the mob a proc that switches the appearance back and forth. As for your use of Enter() to react to entering a castle, it couldn't be more wrong. What you really need is Entered(). You also should not be using src here because src is the turf (and especially don't use usr). The first argument to Entered() is the atom that just walked in, and that's what you need to use.

pixel_y is 0 by default, so you don't have to set that.
There are three problems with this:
First, those if() blocks are happening outside of a proc; they should be run within a proc.
Second, those if() blocks are doing exactly the same thing, so there's no need to use if() at all. The vars they set can be set where they are, without using if() and therefore without even needing a proc.
I can think of other ways to do that, but they'd get confusing.
