Say i have this mob

mob
Entrance_D00d
icon = 'blank.dmi'
density=1
verb
Speak()
set category = "Main"
set src in oview(1)
switch(input("Do j00 want into the cirucs?",text) in list("Yes","No"))
if("Yes")
switch(input("Are you sure you want entrance?",text) in list("Entrance"))
if("Entrance")
if(usr.cash>=5)
usr.cash = (usr.cash - 5)
usr.loc = locate(10,2,16)
else
alert("Not Enough cash! Get Out!!")
if("no")
alert("K")

arg i forgot how to post code.. oh well..
anyways..

how do i make it so when you right click on entrance d00d that all it says is "speak" and not "boot" and "ban" and all that other jazz?

THANKS ^_^

-Cait

edit: i could do set popup_menu = 0 on every verb i know, but i want JUST that specific mob to have ONLY speak cuz i want the verbs for the people just not the mobs

thanks again ^^

O-matic	I dont think there is a way to do that.. except for setting all of the other verbs in `set hidden=1` but that hides the verbs, so I dont think thats usefull.. O-matic

Mashed_The_Hamster	but like in thie one dragon warrior game you click the shop dude and it''d have "Buy" and "Sell" and you click the Inn dude and it'd have "Sleep" unless they set like mob2. mob3, i dont even know if thats possible..

Ol' Yeller	mob mob1 verb asdf() if(get_dist(src,usr)>1)return usr<<"Hello there!" mob2 verb asdf2() if(get_dist(src,usr)>1)return usr<<"Hello there, again!" Two mobs, two different verbs.

Two mobs, two different verbs. was that what he want????? I'm confused.. I thought he meant that he doesn't want all the other verbs in the right click menu... oh well... O-matic

Ol' Yeller	What do you mean? It works for me.

Jun 22 2005, 7:48 am In response to Ol' Yeller
Mashed_The_Hamster	Yes but if you right click them they also have Whisper Marriage Add Gm Boot Ban and i dont want those there.

Jun 22 2005, 7:50 am In response to Mashed_The_Hamster
Ol' Yeller	You could make the NPCs objs then, I don't know how your verbs are set up. Or make your verbs for clients and not mobs.

Jun 22 2005, 7:59 am In response to O-matic
Mashed_The_Hamster	Yeaaah but it still has Delete OBJ and Edit.. on there.. for objects.. but uhm.. i guess if you guys figure out a way to have specific verbs not on speicific mobs (or objs) then gimme a msg =3 thanks for you help ^_^

Jun 22 2005, 8:12 am In response to Mashed_The_Hamster
Ol' Yeller	Use clients instead of mobs if the verbs are only meant for players. ie: mob verb helloclient(client/c as client in world)//It may be c as client or\ client/c, I can't remember if(!c)return c<<"[src]: Hello, [c.mob.name]!"

Mashed_The_Hamster

ok this will probably work but how would i impliment it into my verbs

like whisper for example

mob/verb/
Whisper(M as mob in world,msg as text)
set category = "Chat"
M << "[usr] whispers, '[msg]'"
usr << {"You have whispered To [M] : [msg] "}

would it be like

mob
verb
Whisper(client/c as client in world)//It may be c as client or\
client/c, I can't remember
if(!c)return
M << "[usr] whispers, '[msg]'"
usr << {"You have whispered To [M] : [msg] "}

??
or what?

Simply horrible advice, folks. If you don't know what you're talking about, let someone else who does post. This is supposed to be a place to learn, not confuzzle. :P

So, you defined a bunch of verbs for moderating players at the mob level, and you want to know how to remove them for your NPCs? Why not just define those verbs for player mobs, instead of under mob?

mob
    verb
        Global()
            set src in oview()
            src << "This verb is on all mobs."

    NPC
        verb
            Speak()
                set src in oview()
                src << "This verb is only on NPC mobs."

    Player
        verb
            Kick()
                set src in oview()
                src << "This verbs is only on player mobs."

See how that works? Only NPCs will have the Speak, only Players will have Kick, and everyone has Global. When you define something at a higher level (in your case, /mob), it is shared by everything defined as a sub-type of that level. By giving /mob the Global verb, every sub-type of /mob, including /mob/NPC and /mob/Player will have it. But, because we defined Speak and Kick at the specific sub-level, only that type and it's sub-types will get it. So, a /mob/NPC/Entrance_D00D will have the Global and Speak verbs, becuase it is a sub-type of both /mob and /mob/NPC, while a /mob/Player/Necromancer will have the Global and Kick verbs.

There is a way to re-define the verbs for sub-types, but the above method is a better design for this situation. Make sense?

Mashed_The_Hamster	Yeah but... some things are global even though it doesnt HAVE the global thingy there.. so.. do YOU know how i'd impliement the client thing into the verb? cuz they arent answering it yet o_O

Jun 22 2005, 9:48 am In response to Mashed_The_Hamster
Mashed_The_Hamster	well that code i tried says verbs.dm:4:error: Bad input type: client so .. what would whisper be? XD

Jun 22 2005, 9:49 am In response to Mashed_The_Hamster
Xooxer	Global thingy... what? And, no, I'm not going to show you how to do client verbs, this method works. Client verbs are hacky, I won't show you bad techniques, sorry. ~X

Jun 22 2005, 9:52 am In response to Xooxer
Mashed_The_Hamster	ok ... see this code... mob/verb/ Whisper(M as mob in world,msg as text) set category = "Chat" M << "[usr] whispers, '[msg]'" usr << {"You have whispered To [M] : [msg] "} It doesnt have the Global() in it, yet it is global to ALL mobs and players is there anyway to set whisper JUST to the players? =3

There is no Global() thingy that makes verbs global. That was just the name I gave to that particular verb. What makes it global is where it is defined. Your whisper verb is defined right under /mob. See that? Right there, /mob/verb/Whisper(). What you want is to define it only for player mobs: /mob/player/verb/whisper. This assumes you have players running around as sub-types of /mob/player, like /mob/player/Necromancer or /mob/player/Pirate. It's generally bad practice to define things right under mob if they aren't going to be needed by all mobs in the game.

Here, maybe this will help.

world
    mob = /mob/Player // We want new clients to be Player mobs



mob // This defines vars, verbs and procs for ALL mobs

    var // Tells DM to give every mob these variables
        // Every mob below will have these, including
        // our players and all the NPCs. This is because
        // they are all types of mobs, so they all get
        // the verbs and variables defined for mobs

        weight  // Every mob in the game will have
        height  // a weight, height and age variable
        age     // no matter if they are a player or not


    verb    // You can Look at every mob in the game
        Look()  // because this verb is defined at the /mob
                // level, giving it to all sub-types of /mob
            set src in oview()
            src << "You don't see anything special."



    Player  // This is the mob our players will use

        var
            level   // Only players will have these
            health  // variables, becuase they are only
            exp     // defined here, under /mob/Player


        verb        // These verbs will only be on players

            Kick()  // Now we can only Kick players, not NPCs
                set src in oview()
                src << "U r ! 1337" // n00b!


        Warrior // You probably don't want player all being /mob/Players
                // so we'll give some sub-types for them to choose from

            level = 1        // since we defined these above, we can just
            health = 150   // set their values here, like they were
            exp = 0          // already built-in variables, like name or desc


            verb        // Here, I decided Warriors can do something special
                Bash()  // So only they have the Bash verb
                    src << "You killed a bug!"

        Guard   // We'll have a sub-type of /mob/NPC for Guards
                // Then, just set the variables for an NPC. Since
                // we already defined these variables at a higher
                // level, /mob/NPC, we don't have to put var in front
                // of them, we just need to give them values. They were
                // defined higher up, so everything below that has them
                // like built-in variables, like name or desc are.

            job = "Guard"
            hint = "I know where an adventurous person can find a wealth of gold...."

            angry = "Back you feind, or I shall smack you with this smelly trout!"

            verb    // We'll give players a way to buy fish from him
                Buy()   // Only this NPC will have a Buy verb

Dark Weasel	I think I finally figured out what you want Mashed. something like: [code] mob/Player var/blah mob/GM/verb/Boot(M as mob/Player in view()) del(M) [/code] You make the player mobs mob/Player. This way it won't show up. I think this works, haven't tested it.
