what the heck is missing condition???

The "condition" is the thing that goes inside the () in an if() statement, so the game knows what it's supposed to check. In your case, you've forgotten the () so the compiler doesn't think you've bothered to make a condition.

Everything that it's supposed to do when the condition is true needs to be indented below it, so the game knows what belongs to the if() and what doesn't.

For instance, it should read:

if (icon == 'car.dmi')
line 1
line 2
line 3

instead of:

if icon = 'car.dmi'
line1
line2
line3

Note you need == instead of =.

= means, "This DOES equal that, BECAUSE I SAID SO!"
== means, "Does this equal that? Please tell me."

So when you want to tell the game that the icon = 'car.dmi', you use one = sign. When you need to ask it if it already is car.dmi, use two.

here is part of my code:


//This world was created by <Jake> on <11/29/02>

mob

icon = 'Car.dmi'
icon_state = "convertable"

Login()
..()

verb

Say(msg as text) //what the usr says is passed into "msg" as text
world << "[usr]: [msg]" //the world sees chatroom-like output

var/hub

world/hub = "Chibi_Gohan123.Carworld"

var/delay = 1

usr.icon = 'Car.dmi'
usr.icon_state = "911turbo"

usr.icon_state = "civic"

usr.icon_state = "eclipse"

usr.icon_state = "datsun"
delay = 1

usr.icon_state = "fbi"
delay = 1

verb/Ferrari()
set category = "Pick_car"

usr.icon_state = "ferrari"
delay = 1

verb/DodgeViper()
set category = "Pick_car"
usr.icon = 'Car.dmi'
usr.icon_state = "viper"
delay = 1

verb/McLarenF1()
set category = "Pick_car"
usr.icon = 'Car.dmi'
usr.icon_state = "mclarenf1"
delay = 1
return

mob/verb/Go_To()
set category = "Go_Somewhere"
switch(input("Where do you wanna go?", "Go where?", text) in list ("City","Race","Cancel"))
if("City")
usr.loc = locate(1,1,1)
if("Race")
usr.loc = locate(41,16,1)

return

HERE IS YOUR PART!!!

sry, i noob coder i dont understand what that means, im fairly new to this and don't understand the basic common errors yet, sry.

if you could help me a bit more I would appreciate very much thank you

Please don't bump your post until at LEAST 24 hours have passed since the last reply.

All of the conditions have to be on the same line. So instead of this:

<code>if(icon == 'car.dmi'&& icon_state == "ferrari")</code>

You need this:

<code>if(icon == 'car.dmi' && icon_state == "ferrari")</code>

Also, you're forgetting the indentation after the if()s. Each line that "belongs" to the if() should be indented once more. (By "belongs", I mean all of the lines that the if() is meant to affect.)

And this bit makes no sense:

<code> if(icon == 'car.dmi'&& icon_state == "911turbo") speed = 5 Move() sleep(speed)</code>

Move() doesn't work like that, and you can't delay movement by sleeping in Move(). A quick search of the hub turned up this movement delay demo: http://developer.byond.com/hub/Kunark/MoveDelay

He just did.

Instead of copping an attitude, try reading what people are telling you... you'll never get past the "ask the forum to fix my code every single time I want to do something" stage if you're not interested in learning or self-improvement.

Man, you had people falling all over themselves to help you, but apparently you're more interested in copying and pasting your bad code than actually accomplishing anything... I guess you don't really wanna make a game after all. Seems kinda silly to go through so much work, though, if you don't wanna accomplish anything.

Oh, well... it's your own time to waste. Have a nice life!

Porche_911_Turbo

that should fix it

Except that if()s need to be inside a proc to work. So no, that won't fix it. =P

As much as I hate handing out code on a silver platter because people are too lazy to learn:

<code>mob var/speed Ferrari icon = 'car.dmi' icon_state = "ferrari" speed = 50 Porche_911_Turbo icon == 'car.dmi' icon_state = "911turbo" speed = 5</code>

And to get the movement delay in, look at the movement delay demo I linked to earlier.

If you didn't read anything else in this post, read this: If you don't pay attention this time, you're never going to pay attention. So if you reply with another post ignoring all of my help and repeating your demands, I'll never bother to help you again; because it's obvious you don't WANT to be helped. No matter how polite your tone is.

EDIT: Arglebargle! I just read this post again and noticed the indentation was screwed up on the last line of the code I posted. Silly forum.
