I need to know who i could let the user create an obj, only from a certain list of course. all i really need to know is where to begin. i could figure out the rest of what i want, i just need the creation thing

i looked at the creat verb in s_admin, and i don't know if that's what i need...

please reply if this message is not making sense... i'm tired.

Try this:

// Create a global list of all monsters you want to be able
// To create
var/list/Monsters = list(/mob/bat, /mob/cat, /mob/yeuch)

mob
verb
Create(mob/M)
var/tmp/WhichMonster = input(src,"What monster do you wish to create?", "Pick a monster!") in Monsters // Ask which monster they wish to create by referring to the Monsters list
M = new/[WhichMonster] // Create the monster (the [WhichMonster] has the path)
M.loc = src.loc // Set its location
oview() << "[M] materializes"


This is completely untested, it may or may not work (Note you have to make the mobs in the Monsters list like you do any other mob for it to work

doesnt work, atom types are read only, and must be hard coded

Oh, well, In any case spuzzums GM_Create does most of what youd want

Well, he could just create a little list, an input, and an action for each item in the list

but im sure he doesnt know how to do that yet.
and i dont feel like showing him =)

Easy
just put

new /obj/apple(usr)
or

new /obj/apple(usr.loc)

or if you need to change vars of the obj, put

var/obj/apple/A = new(usr)
A.something = something

or

var/obj/apple/A = new(usr.loc)
A.something = something

and you can even go way more into depth with it, those are just some simple ways.

Im just saying, he can look at some of Spuzzums code. You just need to change the M = /mob/[WhichMonster] to this :

switch(WhichMonster) // Were now looking at the vars of WhichMonster
if("Bat") // If you chose Bat from the list
M = new/mob/bat
if("Cat")
M = new/mob/cat
etc etc
