Didn't touch anything. But why the error. No variable defined for appearance in the code.

Non mob works fine though so good job.


Again, this library works for BYOND brta builds. You'll get an error if you don't have the latest beta BYOND built. You can download that from the front page.

As someone else suggested if you do not want to use the beta build you can create a var and call it: var/appearance.

Hope this clears up the confusion. :)

Have a good day.
