I'm just about finished with my game, but I want to know how to make an ending to it. When you kill the last boss I want it to take you to another part of the map tell you that you beat the game. then teleport you to somewhere else and it gives you a special item for beating the game. I can probably do all this on my own, only I don't know how to implement it into my game. Because when you kill that boss all of this needs to show up.I need some help Let me know if I need to post any codes or whatever..

here's some things which I thought of that you could use to do all those stuff (from the top of my mind):

- Make a new Z layer (or a HUD layover) for THE END part
- use [src or]usr.loc = locate(x,y,z of the new map layer, if used)
-Spawn()/Sleep()
-usr.loc again to a special room (if any)
-usr.contents += new obj/...

Um...yeah >.>

usr.contents+= path is a HORRIBLE way. use src.Move(usr).

Um, why is it a horrible way? If you are going to say a statement, at least give a reason. I have never heard that before and since I have seen you make certain posts before I would like to see some proof to show me that usr.contentes+= typepath is horrible.

mob
    proc/The_End()
        usr <<"....."
        sleep(7)
        src.loc = locate(5,50,11)
        usr <<"Congradulations! You beat the game."
        usr <<"?????????????"
//      new/obj/?????(usr)
        src.loc = locate(1,1,1)


Ok This what I came up with but. I don't know how to call up this proc when you destroy the last boss.

(As in where would I add it at?)

I bet ya have a death proc, so add it into that
eg:
mob/DeathByMistake(mob/PersonWhoKilled)
  if(src.name == "Last Boss" && !src.client)
    spawn() PersonWhoKilled.The_End()
  del(src)

That End proc is totally wrong. Never use usr in a proc. Except Click() and DblClick()

=(

It didn't work, I added to my deathproc but It does nothing. I also changed them to src.

mob
    proc/deathcheck2(mob/M as mob)//handles death
        if(src.HP <= 0)
            del(src)
        if(src.name == "LastBoss" && !src.client)
            spawn() src.The_End()
            del(src)
////
mob
    proc/The_End()
        src <<"....."
        sleep(7)
        src.loc = locate(5,50,11)
        src <<"Congradulations! You beat the game."
        src <<"You get ????????"
//      new/obj/?????(usr)
        src.loc = locate(1,1,1)

It does work. It's just that the "LastBoss" is hearing the text and everything. You're calling it on src.

what do you mean? o.O so Do I need to change it to M instead of src

Stop giving bad advice. This is the second time I saw you make a post about advice. You are telling him to do something, but haven't linked him to any resources why, or given him a reason why. This leads me to believe that you are just copying off of what people say on the forums and you don't even know yourself.

My advice is not bad. And if someone wishes to explain they'd need the whole forum capacity. See all the rants about usr/src? Yeah.

Trust me, i've seen them before but the very least you can do is link to it.

Since this mob of hobos keep flaming each other, ill have to help you. Here is the new code with some comments to explain why it wasnt working:
Your Code:
mob
    proc/deathcheck2(mob/M as mob)//That will only work on verbs.
        if(src.HP <= 0)
            del(src)//Since it runs this first it wont even get to run src.The_End() since src will be non existent.
        if(src.name == "LastBoss" && !src.client)//!src.client, well thats going to return false because src will be the monster, which doesnt have a client
            spawn() src.The_End()
            del(src)
////
mob
    proc/The_End()
        src <<"....."
        sleep(7)
        src.loc = locate(5,50,11)
        src <<"Congradulations! You beat the game."
        src <<"You get ????????"
//      new/obj/?????(usr)
        src.loc = locate(1,1,1)


Your fixed code:
mob
    proc/deathcheck2(mob/M)
        if(src.name == "LastBoss")
            spawn() M.The_End()
            del(src)
        else if(src.HP <= 0)
            del(src)
////
mob
    proc/The_End()
        src <<"....."
        sleep(7)
        src.loc = locate(5,50,11)
        src <<"Congradulations! You beat the game."
        src <<"You get ????????"
//      new/obj/?????(usr)
        src.loc = locate(1,1,1)


There this should work now.
