Okay what i want is when ever you choose prisioner it assigns you a cell #, but i don't want everyone having cell one, how can i make it where it sets it where like where i have Cell: 1 the next person would have Cell: 2?

so itd be like this

A logs in and makes a prisoner
A gets cell 1
B logs in and makes prisoner
B gets cell 2

Make an area for each cell, or use Block(), and check for a player mob.

var/cell = rand(1,3)//based on a coin toss, it's random from 1 to 3.

view() << "Bob logs in and makes a prisoner!"
sleep(10)
view() << "Bob gets cell [cell]!"

Edit: this is an example and it might or might not work for your game. use it as a stencil, figuratively speaking of course.

say what?

Okay i got the area made... but this isnt exactly helping me figure out how to make the cell# go up from one.

var/list/cells = new/list()

cell
     var/num = 0
     New(n)
          num = n

mob
    var/cell/Cell
    Login()
        ..()
        var/cell/c = new/cell(cells.len+1)
        Cell = c
        cells += c
        world << "You are in cell [c.num], grats?"


I made cell a datum because I have no idea what all information you'll need each cell to have or what-not. That and I love datums.

If you want anything else specific (ie: replace cells that have become empty due to logging out) you could have the New() check for a break in the numbers in the cells list.

If you have any questions on anything else feel free to page me questions.

*sigh* It's really not that difficult....

area
    cells
        layer = MOB_LAYER //this way its above the turfs and where a mob could be in it
        cell1
        cell2
    //you can give them vars and whatnot.
    //Place them on the map wherever you want the cells to be

//then just check at login or char creation, whichever

mob
    Login()
           var/area/A = /area/cells/cell1
           var/area/B = /area/cells/cell2
           for(var/mob/M in world)
                if(locate(M) in A)
                     if(!locate(M) in B)
                          src.loc = B
                else
                    src.loc = A
           ..()
///this is kind of crude though. There's probably a much easier way to do this, but its 3:07 am where i'm at. I'm tired =/


or you can use block()

mob
    Login()
        var/mob/M = /mob
        if(locate(M) in block(locate(x,y,z),locate(x,y,z)))
        //etc etc
        ..()


Again, probably easier and more efficient ways to do this, but this is what first comes to mind at 3am >_>

You're requiring a lot of hardcoding here with little flexibility. And in your Login() you should use a for() loop for the areas. (Just put them in an array.) The best functions are the ones that adapt to your needs with as little added work as possible.

I'll admit my way does get a bit excessive because it uses datums for something he probably only touches a couple of times, but it also allows for more dynamic uses since I have no idea what the cells are going to be used for in the game. (Also datums are neat.)

The cells are going to be used for a verb to check waht cell the prisoner is in

Because he's newbie at coding of course!

that really dosn't take a whole lot of coding...and he was giving you a sketch

all I asked for was how to make a number go up from 1 not a sketch or anything just a bas way to get a number to count up.

I'm not sure exactly how you want this, but heres one example:

var/global/cells = 0
mob
    var/cellnum = 0      //not really needed unless you want a reference to their cell #
    
    Login()
        cells ++
        src.cellnum = cells
        
        src.loc=locate("[src.cellnum]")
        
        //or if you want to call movement procs when your teleported into the cell:
        
        //src.Move(locate("[src.cellnum]"))

Then you would have to make turfs with the tags; 1,2,3 etc.
