M.hp -= src.attack - M.defense
M.DeathCheck()
ok if I use periods to connect M to anything, it says....
monsters.dm:40:error:M.hp:bad var
monsters.dm:40:error:M.defense:bad var

alright, you have to remember something about dm, the indentation of your stuff determines where in the tree of objects you define something. It is possible that the variables you are referring to were not placed high enough in the heirarchy. In other words, you need to be sure you declare such variables under the basic mob, not as a more specific form of mob, such as pc or any other mob object you define. The vars you want to use must be indented only once from the basic mob type, unless you make your proc refer to the more specific mob type
I hope this helps | |
monsters.dm:40:error:M.defense:bad var There's a pretty decent discussion of "bad var" in the FAQ. | |
mob
var hp attack defense verb attack(mob/M as mob in oview(1)) M.hp -= src.attack - M.defense M.DeathCheck() proc DeathCheck() if(src.hp <= 0) del(src) that is the only way to use the "." operator for variables, you have to declare that M is a mob, and also you have to say that mob has all of the defualt mob's variables, such as i have shown you above if you still have troubles, your overlooking something else that doesnt relate to the above code | |

M.hp -= src.attack - M.defense try instead of M.DeathCheck(), replace the . with a : so its M:DeathCheck() may or may not help, i dunno.. ~Rcet | |

in the proc, please indicate that M is a mob by doing this
attack(mob/M as mob in whatever)
that says that M is a child of the parent mob, and it will obtain all of its variables, meaning it will have defense, and attack.
