Im trying to make it so if your next to the turf water something happens my code is:


                    if(get_dist(/mob/units/soldiers/Digger/,/turf/water) == 1)
                        usr << "CHEESE"



Does anybody know why this doesnt work? Thanks in advance!

Yes. get_dist() takes two atoms as arguments. You've passed two type paths into it.

Just typing in " [link] " looks nicer, y'know! BYOND will automatically link it.

You're trying to use the type path, as Garthor calls it, as arguments for the proc. That's like specifying a directory where you want to be specifying a file. You want to use a variable as an argument for that proc, like this:

<code>mob/verb/findwater() var/turf/water/WATER var/mob/MOB = src for(var/turf/water/W in range()) WATER = W break MOB << get_dist(WATER, MOB)</code>

You can copy the post ID in the top right corner of the post.

I would've, but I was reading his post, so it was easier to copy the link to yours then reply.

var/turf/water/WATER
                    var/obj/moat/MOAT
                    var/mob/MOB = src
                    for(var/turf/water/W in range())
                        WATER = W
                        for(var/obj/moat/M in range())
                            MOAT = M
                        break
                

                    
                    if(get_dist(WATER, MOB) == 1)
                        usr << "CHEESE"     
                        switch(input("Which way would you like to place this moat?","Most Placement")in list("Verticle", "Horizontal","Nothing"))
                            if("Verticle")
                                new/obj/moat/moat_vert(src.loc)
                            if("Horizontal")
                                new/obj/moat/moat_hors(src.loc) 
                    
                    else if(get_dist(MOAT,MOB) == 1)
                        switch(input("Which way would you like to place this moat?","Most Placement")in list("Verticle", "Horizontal","Nothing"))
                            if("Verticle")

Because range() doesn't limit it to everything 1 tile away. Oh, and it's also not inside of a proc.

how do i fix this....im really confused and its in a proc:
                Dig()
                    set category = "Digger"
                    set src in oview(7)
                    var/turf/water/WATER
                    var/obj/moat/MOAT
                    var/mob/MOB = src
                    for(var/turf/water/W in range())
                        WATER = W
                        for(var/obj/moat/M in range())
                            MOAT = M
                        break
                

                    
                    if(get_dist(WATER, MOB) == 1)
                        usr << "CHEESE"     
                        switch(input("Which way would you like to place this moat?","Most Placement")in list("Verticle", "Horizontal","Nothing"))
                            if("Verticle")
                                new/obj/moat/moat_vert(src.loc)
                            if("Horizontal")
                                new/obj/moat/moat_hors(src.loc) 
                    
                    else if(get_dist(MOAT,MOB) == 1)

                            if("Horizontal")

I have no clue what you're trying to do. And it's vertical, not verticle.

mob/verb/Dig_Moat()
  if(locate(/turf/water) in orange(1) || locate(/turf/moat) in orange(1))
    new turf/moat(src.loc)

What?
Jan 26 2003, 2:04 pm
In response to Garthor
if(locate(/turf/water) in orange(1) || locate(/turf/moat) in orange(1))

checks to see if the usr is there how do i make it check is the src is orange(1) away from the water and moat

In response to Koolguy900095
Change orange(1) to orange(src,1).
