hi,

i got this coding:

Summon(mob/characters/M in world)
set category = "Admin"
M <<"The Admin, [usr] has summoned you."
M:loc = usr.loc
M:y -= 1

but i get these errors:

M: undefined type: M
M/:/loc: undefined type M/:/loc
M/:/y: undefined type M/:/y

could anyone help me to fix these errors??

thank you,

You shouldn't have to use the : operator, since M is already defined as a mob. Use . instead.

As Lummox said, use the . operator rather than using the : operator. The : is eeeevil.

And the error is because you've simply copied somebody else's code without understanding how it works. "M" is defined as something that your game doesn't have. So change it to something relevant that your game does have.
