Dear, Fellow DM Programers

I was wondering if there was a proc that listed the objects in the same line both horizontal and vertical of the src.. like view().. But liniar If theres one built in please inform if not,How would you go about achiving this?

Thanks in advance, Solomon

There isn't one built in, but you could easily make your own using the built in proc, view(), then checking each mobs x or y coord.

Example:

mob/verb/Check_line()
    var/X_list = new/list()
    var/Y_list = new/list()
    for(var/atom/O in view(5,src))
        if(O.x == src.x) X_list += O
        if(O.y == src.y) Y_list += O


That example checks for all atoms(you can do just objs/mobs/turfs whatever you like) within 5 tiles of the src, including the src(center tile) change view() to oview() to exclude the tile the src is standing on. It adds them to a list, which you could define somewhere else to keep it after the proc is done executing.
