I'm trying to define an npcs variable as a mob but I keep getting text as the mobs name instead of the actual mob.
mob/npc/var/mob/target = user

Will return the target as "[user]" instead of just user
Help please :)

Basically an npc is given a target. The target is a mob. When I try to access that target it returns as text. It will return the target as "[target.name]" instead of target. So an npcs target will be a text string instead of an actual mob.

Ohh it'd be something like this if im getting your drift
var
   mob/M = new()
   mob/target
src.target = M

That's exactly what he showed you, when you output the value of a variable that's been set to the reference to another datum it'll show the name of that datum.

However you'd be able to utilize it as properly referencing said datum.

src.target.some_variable = 50


Would be valid in Hebrons' example if /mob had a some_variable variable.
