hmm well try

src.loc=locate(2,2,1)


I think that'll work


If that doesn't work try:
src.mob.loc=locate(2,2,1)

And if none of those work (which they won't), I'l l ask this question: "Are you trying to find the first unopen area? Or what?"

Your code should work, unless you have overwritten Move() or anything similar.

Maybe you should put the loc = locate(whatever) bit after the ..().

the problem is your sending the user absolutely no where...

Code: do not copy this i just spaced it may not work right in dream maker...

mob
    Login()
        src.loc = locate(2,2,1)//notice the src here
        ..()


Description:
Well, as you can see I added src.loc where you had just "loc". You must assign the source that is calling the Login() procedure to the location. Otherwise(since DM does not read the minds of all those who use it) your sending nothing to that location whenever nothing logs in.

No. It shouldn't he sent nothing to that location. Just put the src.loc and it should work... because loc itself is an empty variable defining the location of an obj or mob or whatever else.

The ..() really doesn't matter that much in the scheme of things here... Also I really wouldn't post unless you are sure of what you are talking about. Not to be mean, but it just causes more confusion.

And you had the nerve to tell me that I didn't know what I was talking about.

If you don't stick something out the front to tell DM what the variable is coming from, it assumes src. Try it:

mob/Verb/Stuff()
    src << "Jp pwns joo, [name]"

Well, no it does not. I stand corrected. That post was not just for you, but thanks for the information anyway. Also that is not always the best route to go as well. It may start looking nasty when you have to assign different proc's to different mobs. Thanks :)

'Tis alright. I'm not quite sure why the program is screwing up anyway. I'm not quite sure of the default behaviour of login(). Is the mob created in mob.Login(), or is it created before then?

mob   
    Login()
        loc = locate(2,2,1)
        src.sight = 1
        ..()


well try that I think you've putted sight=0 somewere. I'm not sure I'm just guessing.
but maybe it'll work.
