How would I make a save verb for Deadron's Character Handling system? It gets kinda annoying for players to log out to save..

Why would it be annoying? No hassle for them. Plus it is better, if you have items in your game, players could drop thema nd give to eachother, log out without saving, and both players would have that item.

Hm..never thought of it that way..It's just that every once in a while, some players lose their saves out of the blue..

I don't have access right now, but look at the CharacterHandling library files...there is a complete description in there of how to save at any time by calling a function.

Oh, I know what you're talking about. I tried making a verb earlier that didnt work, but I got it to work now though..

I had the same problem back when I used that lib. Ended up rewriting a saver from scratch.

well just as an upside you could still have a save verb, in case the regular Deadron Character Handling doesn't save *Just as a precaution*

I use this save code when I use the Deadron Vharacter Handling
client/verb/Save()
    set category = "Commands"
    set name = "Save Game"
    set desc = "Save your character."
    SaveMob()
    usr << "Saving Character..."
    sleep(10)
    usr << "Save Complete"

see the
    SaveMob()

what that does is calls the Chararacter Handling's SaveMob proc so you can save.

Thanks Kain, but I finally figured out that I could'nt make it a verb using "mob" about a 15 minutes before your post..

I added the save verb and all, but I geuss every time someone saved, there was a huge amount of lag(it was a auto-save verb). After I closed the game down, I STILL can't get back into the game no matter where I open it from.

Only IF he removed logout saving alltogether.
