Mouse Functions

Code:
        rock
            icon_state = "3"
            MouseDrag()
            MouseDrop(obj/branch)
                var/X = new/obj/hammer
                usr.contents.Add(X)
                del(branch)
                del(src)
            mouse_drag_pointer = "3"


Problem description: I got the main objective to work, it deletes the two objects and creates the new one in my inventory. However, it works on any object; Ex1: Rock+Branch = Hammer (This is what I want); Ex2: Rock+Herb = Hammer (It does this too, and I don't want it to) Every item works for the combo, how do I get it to work only when you drop a rock on a branch and not anything else? I've checked all the nice little demos (theres only 1 btw) and experimented with several different formats to try and filter only the two objects but nothing works, what am I doing wrong?

That will only give you an error stating:

Error:A:Undefined Type:A

and don't try:

        rock
            icon_state = "3"
            MouseDrag()
            MouseDrop(/obj/branch/A)
                var/X = new/obj/hammer
                usr.contents.Add(X)
                del(A)
                del(src)
            mouse_drag_pointer = "3"


That will just give you and "Undefined Var" Error

Make sure the obj "branch" is defined somewhere.

lol sorry forgot heres the code for it:

obj
    icon = 'combo.dmi'
    stuff
        rock
            icon_state = "3"
            MouseDrag()
            MouseDrop(obj/stuff/branch/A)
                var/X = new/obj/hammer
                usr.contents.Add(X)
                del(A)
                del(src)
            mouse_drag_pointer = "3"
        herb
            icon_state = "5"
        branch
            icon_state = "4"
    hammer
        icon_state = "7"


Even after applying those changes, it still works on any item under stuff....

You're not checking the type of the object sent. Don't assume that just because you define it as a branch, that that's all it will send you:

obj
    icon = 'combo.dmi'
    stuff
        rock
            icon_state = "3"
            MouseDrag()
            MouseDrop(obj/stuff/branch/A)
                if(istype(A,/obj/stuff/branch)) //If A is a branch (Could also use if(istype(A)), where it checks what you defined the variable as)
                    new/obj/hammer(usr) //No need to define that variable if you aren't going to do anything with it.  Also, by passing "usr" with new(), it will create the hammer inside the usr.
                    del(A)
                    del(src)
            mouse_drag_pointer = "3"

Umm... why hasn't anyone pointed out asking 'why is there MouseDrag() if it's not being used'?

Perfect, thanx.

Now I see what I did wrong.... lol

I had tried the if(istype()) but I forgot to set as A and place A, with the istype.... my bad.

He did help. You're blatantly unknowing of which he is talking about.
