I have a car in my game and I have it so you can get in and out, but when I loaded up my game I cannot get into the car, I get up close to it, and still cannot get into the car, same with the gold, I cannot get it.

Here is the code for the car:
obj/Car4
    var/old_icon
    verb
        GetIn()  //Players last icon has been overidden
            old_icon = usr.icon
            usr.icon = icon
        GetOut()
            usr.icon = old_icon  //Player gets his/her old icon back


If anyone can help me could you please assist as I dont know where I am going wrong.

You need to set src...
obj/rock/verb/throw() //will be accessible
   set src in oview(1)
   world << "Hurl!"

obj/rock/verb/get() //won't be accessible
   //no set src here!
   world << "Get!"

No, Lee as in "Lebaria" on AIM

Time must be passing by very quickly, as I have started to use my real name on the forums and I have also got another key name (this one) besides the Evil_SSJ4Vegeta key.

Also I know you havent been here for awhile lol.

What good is throwing a rock if you can`t pick it up?

What good is running if you cant walk?

What good is a car if you dont set src(or have a driver's Liscense)?

Of course it is. The only thing that you're limited to is 32x32.

Well, unless you're willing to create multi-tiled mobs... then just about anything is possible...

This still is not working, I have "set src in view(1)" but when I get close to the car I dont get the options to get in the car, the only option I get is "Get", which in turn picks up the car and puts it in the inventory.

Can someone help please?

Wow! Strong character!

Where are you placing "set src in view(1)"? It should be right under the verb declaration.

If you want to get rid of the get() verb so that people can't get cars, you can overide the parent get verb and hide it like this.

obj/car4
get() // overide the normal get() verb
set hidden = 1 // players can't see this verb
// Leave the rest of this verb blank so if they do
// try "get car4", nothing happens.

This is what I had in the from when I edited it, before you posted, here is the current code:
obj/Car4
    var/old_icon
    verb
        GetIn()  //Players last icon has been overidden
            set src in view(1)
            old_icon = usr.icon
            usr.icon = icon
        GetOut()
            set src in view(1)
            usr.icon = old_icon  //Player gets his/her old icon back

That should do a trick. Are you sure the car you're approaching is a obj/Car4?
