Code:
        Pushup()
            set category = "Training"
            set hidden = 1
            if(usr.Meditate)
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>Not while Meditateing"
                return
            if(usr.situp)
                usr << "<b><font color= red><font size = 1>not while doing situps"
                return
            if(usr.Resting)
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>Not while Resting"

            if(usr.pushup)
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>You stop doing pushups."
                src.Update(src)
                usr.move = 1
                usr.icon_state = ""
                usr.pushup = 0

            else
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>You begin doing pushups"
                usr.icon_state = "pushup"
                usr.move = 0
                usr.pushup = 1
                usr.PushUp()


Problem description:
i am trying to add

for(obj/hair/O in usr.overlays)

O.pixel_y=0

but i keep indenting wrong or putting it in the wrong place...

You can't loop through overlays. Overlays is a very strange list. What goes in doesn't come out, kinda like a black hole. ;)

Instead you need to keep track of whatever's in overlays seperately, in some other way.

Nope ugh ive gone thorugh the DM but found notthing im going to explain what im doing a little better...


obj
    hair
        pixel_y=10
        Click()
            if(!usr.hair_type)
                usr.hair_type=src.type
                var/obj/hair/H=new usr.hair_type
                if(H)
                    spawn(H.Color(usr,usr.hair_color))
                        usr.overlays.Add(H)
                        del(H)
        proc
            Color(mob/User,Color="#000000")
                        //Bla bla bla you get the point//





        Pushup()
            set category = "Training"
            set hidden = 1
            for(obj/hair/O in usr.overlays)
                O.pixel_y=0
            if(usr.Meditate)
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>Not while Meditateing"
                return
            if(usr.situp)
                usr << "<b><font color= red><font size = 1>not while doing situps"
                return
            if(usr.Resting)
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>Not while Resting"
                return
            if(usr.flight)
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>Not while flying"
                return
            if(usr.pushup)
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>You stop doing pushups."
                src.Update(src)
                usr.move = 1
                usr.icon_state = ""
                usr.pushup = 0

            else
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>You begin doing pushups"
                usr.icon_state = "pushup"
                usr.move = 0
                usr.pushup = 1
                usr.PushUp()


now everything works except when i call pushups

I understand what you're looking at.

Basically, what you need to do is keep experimenting with something like 'hair.pixel_y-=3' or something as the guy goes up and down, untill you get it right.

In response to AZA
'hair.pixel_y-=3' ???


if i try that i just get a undefined var

if i try that i just get a undefined var

... Well lets see usually the Undefined Var means.... Var Undefined, It doesn't exist so it cant write to the var...

In response to Strawgate
yeah i know what it means...but theres diffrent ways of defining them....
Feb 27 2005, 7:51 pm
In response to Dranzer_Solo
so do i just define it like


mob
var
hair



or is there any ohter way?
Feb 27 2005, 9:25 pm
In response to Dranzer_Solo
Maybe something like this?

mob
    var/obj/hair/Hair

    verb
        Pushup()
            set category = "Training"
            set hidden = 1
            for(var/obj/hair/O in usr.overlays)
                O.pixel_y=0
            if(usr.Meditate)
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>Not while Meditateing"
                return
            if(usr.situp)
                usr << "<b><font color= red><font size = 1>not while doing situps"
                return
            if(usr.Resting)
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>Not while Resting"
                return

                return
            if(usr.pushup)
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>You stop doing pushups."
                src.Update(src)
                usr.move = 1
                usr.icon_state = ""
                usr.pushup = 0

            else
                usr << "<b><font color= blue><font size = 1>You begin doing pushups"
                usr.icon_state = "pushup"
                usr.move = 0
                usr.pushup = 1
                usr.PushUp()
                spawn() usr.PushUpHair() // spawn the hair's pushup loop
    
    proc
        PushUpHair()
            // if they have no hair, or their hair isn't really hair, return and do nothing
            if(!Hair || !istype(Hair, /obj/hair)) return
            
            var/up=1 // if the animation starts with the down position, set this to 0
            
            while(pushup) // while they do pushups
            
                overlays -= Hair // take the hair away
                
                if(up)          // they won't miss it
                    up=0
                    Hair.pixel_y = -12 // adjust this to the height of the up state
                    
                else
                    up=1
                    Hair.pixel_y = -10 // adjust this to the height of the down state
                    
                overlays += Hair // put it back
                
                sleep(3) // adjust this for the delay in the animation

I'm talking about the layer of tha hair you're using. What ever variable you use to call it, use that in place of 'hair'
Mar 5 2005, 2:46 am
In response to Dranzer_Solo
Post the 'Pushup()' procedure.
Mar 5 2005, 8:32 am
Ugh...the easiest thing to do would be to create a "pushup" icon state for the hair icons.
Mar 5 2005, 9:51 am
In response to Dranzer_Solo
Your mistake was making the hair an overlay rather than overlaying icons to create a single character icon. This sort of situation really isn't suited to overlays at all.
