Grab Verb

So, I've managed to cobble together a grab verb and it seems to work fine say for that when I kill the mob I'm still stuck in place. So I was wondering if I can get some help coming up with something that would reset my move back to 0 when the mob dies or is no longer adjacent to the src.


mob
    var
        grabvar = 0 // 0 = allow move 1 = block move
    Move()
        if(grabvar)
            return 0
        else
            ..()

mob
    verb
        Grab(mob/M in get_step(usr,usr.dir))
            set category="Taijutsu"
            if(!M || !ismob(M))return
            if(usr.tai+usr.cbat+(rand (3,18)-2)<=M.eva+M.spd+(rand (3,18)))
                src<<"<font color=\"blue\">Your attack was evaded!</font>"
            else
                M.grabvar = !M.grabvar 
                src.grabvar = !src.grabvar

You can set 'grabvar' to be the mob you are grabbing, then run if(grabvar in orange(1, src)) return

You could even reset grabvar if it isn't beside the character.

That's an O(N) complexity. It can be done in O(1) complexity.

#ifdef TILE_MODE
proc
    inRange(atom/obj1,atom/obj2,range)
        if(obj1.loc&&obj2.loc&&obj1.z==obj2.z)
            return max(abs(obj1.x - obj2.x),abs(obj1.y - obj2.y))<=range
        else
            return 1#INF
#elif
proc
    inRange(atom/obj1,atom/obj2,range)
        return bounds_dist(obj1,obj2)<=range
#endif

I'm still pretty new, could you point me in the direction of where atoms are explained in the DM so that I might get a better understanding?
