so far ive got this
Fire_Phaser(mob/NPC/M as mob in oview(2)) var/obj/phaser phaser = new /obj/projectile phaser.loc = src.loc but im getting these errors startrekfed.dm:168:error:/obj/projectile:undefined type path startrekfed.dm:169:error:src.loc:undefined var startrekfed.dm:166:error:Fire_Phaser :undefined proc im not able to comprehend how to creat this new obj | |
<code> Fire_Phaser(mob/NPC/M as mob in oview(2)) var/obj/phaser phaser = new /obj/projectile phaser.loc = src.loc </code>
Into... <code> Fire_Phaser(mob/NPC/M as mob in oview(2)) var/obj/A A = new /obj/phaser A.loc = src.loc while(A) if(M in range(A, 1)) del(A) M.HP-=30 M.Deathcheck() // Optional :) break if(M in oview(2)) step_towards(A, M) sleep(1) else del(A) </code> That should do it. And if it doesn't, then it's not my fault. Only my 2nd week on BYOND. ;) Good luck. (Gah, why are my tabs so big? O.O) | |
ok Im still trying to undestand this
Fire_Phaser(mob/NPC/M as mob in view(5)) var/obj/A A = new /obj/projectile A.loc = src.loc while(A) if(M in range(A, 1)) del (A) if(M in view(5)) step_towards(A, M) sleep(1) else del (A) startrekfed.dm:168:error:/obj/projectile:undefined type path startrekfed.dm:169:error:src.loc:undefined var startrekfed.dm:171:error:M:undefined type: M startrekfed.dm:174:error:M:undefined type: M startrekfed.dm:175:error:M:undefined type: M startrekfed.dm:166:error:Fire_Phaser :undefined proc I have no idea why I got any of those errors I dfined M as npc mob | |

If you don't wish to, make sure your mob defs look like this: <code> mob NPC klingon etc... </code> For Error #5: Remember to make it a verb. <code> mob verb Fire_Phaser(etc, etc) </code> Hope that helps. | |
ok I know a little time has passed but I finally was able to start working on this again today. I think most of this is working it was just this part of the reply that I didnt understand
For error #2-#4: Modify the pathway. If you don't wish to, make sure your mob defs look like this: mob NPC klingon etc... heres what ive got //projectile mob/verb/Fire_Phaser(mob/NPC/M as mob in view(5)) var/obj/A A = new /obj/projectile A.loc = usr.loc while(A) if(M in range(A, 1)) del (A) if(M in view(5)) step_towards(A, M) sleep(1) else del (A) startrekfed.dm:170:error:/obj/projectile:undefined type path startrekfed.dm:173:error:M:undefined type: M startrekfed.dm:176:error:M:undefined type: M startrekfed.dm:177:error:M:undefined type: M of course what I want to do is have an object appear when I use verb fire_phaser at the users loc and travel to the target. thanks | |
If you mean projectile you would want something like the missile proc but you would need an obj made already like this.
obj/missile icon='missile.dmi' mob/verb/Attack(mob/M as mob in oview()) missile(/obj/missile,src,M.loc) That would be what you need:) | |
I tried that and it goes in with no errors and it creates an attack verb however after you select your target nothing happens what im trying to get to happen is an object to appear at the usrers loc and travel to the npc then disapear damage will be handled on another level not whether the obj hits the npc

mob/romulan
icon = 'person.dmi'
icon_state = "romulan"
cl = -1
hp = 5
verb
fire_phaser(mob/M in view(5))
set src in view(5)
src.hp -= rand(3,5)
what I want is an object to appear (i.e. the phaser blast) and move to the src.
now I realize that moving the new object to the src is another problem but I still cant even figure out how to make the new object appear when this verb is called up.
please help
