Are you refering to a choice for good or evil when the player logs in, or are you refering to a verb certain player "GMs" get, which gives players an option to join a good or evil side, like DWO has?

Also, please use periods. It makes it much easier for the person trying to understand what you wrote.

Well, I'll assume you gave each mob an "alignment" variable and work from there.

This verb will give the targetted mob a choice to change to either good or evil, or decline the offer to change.

<FONT COLOR=silver> 
mob/GM/proc/Align(mob/M as mob in view())
    set name = "Align"
    set category = "GM"
    var/choices = list("Good","Evil","Decline")
    var/choice = input(M,"Would you like to change your alignment?") in choices
    switch(choice)
        if("Good")
            world << "[M.name] joins the side of good!"
            M.alignment = "Good"
        if("Evil")
            world << "[M.name] has vowed allegiance to evil!"
            M.alignment = "Evil"
        if("Decline")
            usr << "[M.name] declines your offer."
            return
</FONT>

This next proc will give them a chance to join the side of good...

<FONT COLOR=silver> 
mob/GM/proc/JoinGood(mob/M as mob in view())
    set name = "JoinGood"
    set category = "GM"
    var/choices = list("Good","Decline")
    var/choice = input(M,"Would you like to join good?") in choices
    switch(choice)
        if("Good")
            world << "[M.name] joins the side of good!"
            M.alignment = "Good"
        if("Decline")
            usr << "[M.name] declines your offer."
            return
</FONT>

This proc will also work for evil, just change the names and settings from "Good" to "Evil".
Now, I don't know what kind of GM functions you are using, but I would turn these procs into verbs by giving them to a player at login, after checking their key to insure they are on your admin list.

<FONT COLOR=silver> 
usr.verbs += /mob/GM/proc/JoinGood
</FONT>

etc...

Keep in mind I haven't tested any of these, so they might not totally work right...

Actually, you could also do it using an alert proc, which would probably be better.

<FONT COLOR=silver> 
mob/verb/JoinEvil(mob/M as mob in view())
    set name = "JoinEvil"
    set category = "GM"
    switch(alert("Would you like to join evil?",,"Accept","Decline"))
    if("Yes")
        world << "[M.name] joins evil!"
        M.alignment = "Evil"
    else
        usr << "[M.name] declines."
</FONT>

Also, if you get any errors, you'd probably be better off looking the procs up in the reference (on the menu over to your left) and looking at the intended format, then compare it with the proc you have in your game.

Trying to figure out the problems for yourself will prove to make things a lot easier for you in the future.

If("Yes")

This is not so. It should be 
if("Accept")


Good day.

Bah, see what happens when you take code snippets for people? They always screw something up so that it doesn't work right. Now if it weren't for LoW's fixing it for you, you would have been stuck with a code snippet that didn't work right unless you knew how to fix it yourself.

Well you could make a bump proc for when some one bumps into you. so make the guys get to where they can reach where you are and them just have them walk into you

In response to Richter
Well then anyone could join Evil or good by walking into me that would be pointless,as people join and you dont want them to.....they still can join

ok i have encountered a problem.
here is my joinClones code:

JoinClone(mob/M as mob in oview(5))
set category = "Specials"
switch(alert("Would you like to join the all powerful CloneGoku?",,"Yes","No"))
if("Yes")
world<< "[M.name] Has Join The Clones!!"
M.ally = "Clone"
if("No")
world<<"[M.name] Declined The powerful CloneGoku"

But when i choose the verb JoinClone It alerts e on my screen and i get to choose wether they want to join or not.
The other player gets no option at all...
whats wrong?can you help?

In response to CloneGoku
Yeah, make it...

switch(alert(M,"Would you like to join CloneGoku?",,"Yes","No"))

Or something like that then.

Whenever you have problems like this, look up the proc you are using in the reference and it will show you how to change things like who the proc effects, etc...

Few things about your posts:

1.Don't use html unless you're pointing out something and not just for the fun of it.

2.Close your html tags when you do use html.
