Right,im clueless on this.

The game im working on uses obj's to store techniques,I need a verb that allows the player to create their own,and specify the name and type(eg.beam,power up,etc.)

Any ideas?

Look up in the reference...verb. That'll help you get started =p Simply put, you aren't even trying to put in any effort, so why should someone else try to help your game if you aren't as or more willing?

Im not sure you understand what i mean,in that case,excuse me,ill explain it further.

The player gets a verb called "Create technique",when he presses this he gets a pop up asking for the type he wants to create,eg.beam. He then names it,sets a power(which affects charge time and damage). The code for the selection part is easy,its the part about naming and setting properties which i dont get.

The code i currently have is:-

mob/verb/Create_Technique()
set category = "Techniques"
input(switch("What type of technique do you want to create?","Type") in list("Beam","Blast","Powerup","Exit"))
if("Beam")
//From here on im lost,i guess i need to create some kind of base objects and modify their values,but im kinda lost,ive never tried anything like this.

Please,any help would be appreciated.

You can do this a much easier way.. 
    Create(O as null|anything in typesof(/obj,/mob))
        set desc="Create anything..";
        if(!O)return;var/o = new O(usr.loc);
        view() << "[usr] created a(n) [o:name]."}


This already lists anything in typesof /obj, /mob as said above..
