I cant seem to make doors open and close by clicking. its hard. I have code and it looks like it'll work but it doesnt
obj/door
var
open=1
Click()
if(open==1)
(switch it to close ya know)
if(open==2)
(switch to open you know what i mean)

but it doesnt work

I also need a life bar. is there any demo that will help me go about making life bars and stuff like that?

For the doors, you're trying to have a variable be either 1 or 2. NEVER do that unless absolutely necessary. It makes so much more sense to have the variable be either 0 or 1. This is how I would do a door:
obj/door
    icon = 'door.dmi'
    icon_state = "closed"
    density = 1  //it starts closed
    Click()
        if(density)  //if it's closed, we want to open it
            density = 0  //we can walk through open doors
            icon_state = "open"  //door.dmi should have open and closed states
        else
            density = 1
            icon_state = "closed"

That should work fine. You don't even need to define an open variable. density alone will do the trick.

As for meters, my HUD demo will show you how. There are also a couple of other meter demos out there, so if mine doesn't work look for other ones.

thanks
mob/verb
Attack(mob/M as mob in oview(1))
var/damage = rand(1,usr.attack)
M.hp -= damage
view() << "[usr] attacks [M] [damage] damage"
M.Death()
sleep(2)
i've got a question as to why when i use this attack verb when i use it on a enemy. i'll use my macros. and then when i kill the enemy sometimes it comes up with a error saying the enemy is already dead.

What do you mean exactly by "dead"? What do you do in the Death proc? Do you delete the dead mob, or do you just change his icon state?

I delete the mob. every 3 minutes there is a repop.

Hey! Don't be replying to other peoples posts asking for code help! That is not acceptable!
Especially asking about Dragonball z stuff, and expecting so much.
