To make items start out in your inventory when you log on, what command do I use to do this?
| |
mob switch(i) if("Spy") icon = 'spy.dmi' if("Terrorist") icon = 'terrorist.dmi' if("Soldier") icon = 'soldier.dmi' how would I add usr.contents onto this? under "Spy" I want them to start with a obj in the inventory(stats) not sure on how to add this, I tried like: switch(i) if("spy") icon = 'spy.dmi' usr.contents and: if("spy") usr.contents ... Is there any examples i could use? | |
I've uploaded a demo, but the project files aren't there.. Lemme go see if I can get that to work and I'll lead you that way.

var/A = new obj/monkey(usr) Well, it was going to be either 'cheese','monkey', or both. | |

So, if you wanted to add an object to the players inventory on login, all you would have to do is this: mob/Login() ..() new/obj/blahblahblah(src) new allows you to specify a location when creating the new atom, so you can just put src in and it creates the object inside src, which is the player. Basically, the only thing you will ever use contents for is to find out what the player has, not add more stuff to what player has. For instance: mob/verb/Inventory() usr << "You are holding :" for(var/obj/o in usr.contents) usr << o.name To make it even simpler, you dont even have to say usr.contents. mob/verb/Inventory() usr << "You are holding :" for(var/obj/o in usr) usr << o So their aren't many, if any, situations where you would have to use the contents variable. | |
Well heres what I have done..
I created an object: obj/knives knife attack = 5 description = "This is a normal two handed sword! Attack = 5" locname = /obj/knives/knife typew = "weapon" then in the main dm file under Login() I put.. if("Spy") icon = 'spy.dmi' usr << "You have choosen to play as a Spy." usr << "The spy is a stealthy character, which has special items to sneak up on people." /obj/knives/knife I run the game, I guess its in my inventory? How do I get it to show up on a statpanel though? | |

To make it so the player sees all the items he owns inside a statpanel, first do some reading on Stat() proc. In the example for that proc, it shows you how to make it stat the user's inventory. Basically, this is all you would have to do: mob/Stat() stat(src.contents) Simple eh? =) | |

Use usr.contents as the variable data... NOOOO...this is yet more "evil usr" stuff creeping in and will likely result in subtle bugs. NEVER EVER use usr except in a verb, and then only if you really have to, because if it's not a verb, then you don't actually know what the value of usr is. It could be a random player. In all non-verb cases, use src to mean "the current object". | |

Basically, this is all you would have to do: I did both of those things... and i get an error : gumbatarena.dm:33:error:/new/obj/knives/knife:bad path | |
mob
Login()
usr.contents += blah
I beleive..
