Alright, so I have this code set up here:
mob
Login()
usr.icon = 'stickman.dmi'
And whenever I try to compile, it gives me this error:

BYOND(348.905) Error: the file C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\Desktop\BYOND\Games\Chat X\Chat X.rsc is locked up!
Chat X.dme:15:error:'stickman.dmi':cannot find file

'No put usr in proc, ungh.'

That, and don't compile while the game is running.

You also need to define where the player will be located at, so do src.loc=locate(x,y,z), change the x, y, and z to where you would want the player to be located at when they enter your game.

That'd just create more and more confusion. Pseudo-verbs (Click, DblClick, etc) are safe with usr, though.

Sarcasm...

Nihil sarcasm, plain facts.
Also, your sentence made no sense whatsoever so I understood very little. The 'sarcasm' is on your side.

Unless you're setting up a few different vars like the player's location yourself, you need to call ..() during Login().

Now I've got someone else using the word psuedo-verbs! Soon, the world will be MINE!

usr is only safe in mob/Login() if players never reconnect to different mobs during the game. I wouldn't use usr there.

God thanks you and is willing to give his throne to you. It works now. While I'm asking about this, how would I set up a verb that would let the user change their icon to something have on their system?

mob
    verb
        Change_Icon(I as icon)
            src.icon = I

How about changing the icon state?

Oh, come on, someone give me the code for a verb that would change the state of the icon a user currently is using.

Since it's extremely simple to learn, and since changing icon_states is just one stupid line of code, why don't you just show it instead of your agressive attitude?

src.icon_state="somestate"
// Eternal_Dread - put this in any verb, name the correct icon_state and you're done. =)
// Although, the first part,'src', defines who's icon_state is going to be changed. The part after that sets the icon_state.


athk, if you're just planning to yell at him for asking something extremely simple: one simple line of code, of which he will most likely learn, then you shouldn't reply at all.

Nobody told you you have to give him an entire verb, you just should've just explained how to set icon_states. And bam, you've taught him something, and have not flamed him. But in reality, it's vice versa.

You haven't contributing anything but badness to this community with that moronic post.

That part is what he called sarcasm, not the paragraph below it. Although, it's rather irony than sarcasm.

That wouldn't help the guy either, would it? Not in a icon-choosing verb.

mob/verb/Change_Icon(i as icon)
  if(i)
    usr.icon=i
    usr.icon_state=input("What's the icon state?") as null|text

Giving him directly what he wants is not helpfull, actually. I really wonder what he learns from that code you provided to him. Considering the chance of 90% of each new programmer directly copy+pastes from the forums. If he's expieriencing any trouble with what I gave him, he is free to ask here - but I would not give him what he wants. No, I'd rather theoritically explain to him how to do it, so that he learns.
