Hello again. I really need to know how to do this:When a player fires a spell at someone, and the other player fires spell before the other players spell hits them, and both of there strengths are the same, how would I possibly make it so that both of the spells crash into eachtoher, and explode?

Non-PC

mob/var/firing = 0
mob/verb/fire(mob/M in oview(5))
    if(M.str == usr.str && M.firing == 1 && usr.firing == 1
)      
       icon_state = "explode"

For future reference, there's absolutely no point in posting code that doesn't work and doesn't even answer the question.

• Your closing parenthesis is on the wrong line.

You're comparing strength at fire time, not when projectiles collide as the question implied.

You're using ==1 to determine true/false values when you should just use the var itself.

You set the icon_state for src (which in this case is usr), not a projectile.

You never created a projectile.

You never set or reset the firing var.
