Code:
mob
    verb
        PlayCard(var/obj/Cards/C in usr.trunk)
            new C(locate(usr.x-2,usr.y+1,usr.z))
            trunk.Remove(C)


Problem description:

I tried to make it so it would play any type of card that you have in your trunk, not just /obj/Cards/Test.
Now I get this runtime error when I try to play a card:

runtime error: Cannot create objects of type /obj/Cards/Test2.
proc name: PlayCard (/mob/verb/PlayCard)
usr: Dead_Demon (/mob/Player)
src: Dead_Demon (/mob/Player)
call stack:
Dead_Demon (/mob/Player): PlayCard(Dark Monster (/obj/Cards/Test2))

C is an obj, not a type path. You need to use a type path with new for it to work properly.

e.e I cannot think today. I need it to play a card in the players trunk, but what if they have two different types of cards? So I tweaked it abit, but now I cannot get it to call off the objects variable.

obj
    icon='items.dmi'
    Cards
        Monster
            var/typePath
            verb
                Grab(mob/M)
                    set src in oview(1)
                    if(istype(M,/mob/))
                        M.trunk.Add(src)

            Test
                typePath=/obj/Cards/Monster/Test //The variable to define this cards path
                name="Earth Monster"
                icon_state="test"
            Test2
                typePath=/obj/Cards/Monster/Test2 //the Variable to define this cards path
                name="Dark Monster"
                icon_state="test2"


And here is my proc

mob
    proc
        PlayCard(var/obj/C in src.trunk)
            C= /obj/Cards/Monster/
            new C.typePath(src.loc)


But it keeps telling me that C.typePath is an undefined variable. What do I do to fix it?

Ack, stop doing really silly stuff. You just need 
mob
    verb //or verb, decide
        PlayCard(var/obj/Cards/C in src.trunk)
            new C.type(locate(src.x-2,src.y+1,src.z))
            trunk.Remove(C)


(Sorry but I'm too tired currently to help more than that).

DM is really picky with its 'new' keyword.

You may need to put C.type into another variable, and then reference that variable with 'new'.

Edit:
Oh uhmm... why create a new card in the first place? Why not move the existing card from the trunk list onto its new location, then remove it from the list?

Yes, but now C has no defined path. Isn't there a way to have it draw from the objects variables?

I've tried that, but it keeps moving the card that is on the field to my position.

I know. Though IIRC directly using property vars works alright with it.

So what should I do? I'm lost, I've tried alot of suggestions and stuff, but none of them seem to work.
