I've a mob that help you levelup & sell attack(/obj/Attacks)
There is his Attack_Shop code:
mob/NPCs/Trainer/verb
    Attack_Shop()
        set src in oview(1)
        set category = "Leveling"
        if(length(usr.Attack) == 0)// as you levelup more attacks are added to usr.Attack
            usr<<"You can not get anymore attacks at this level"
            return
        var/obj/Attacks/attack = input("Whict attack do you want to buy?","[src]:")in usr.Attack
        var/Price = attack.PBI
        switch(alert({"It will cost [Price] gold([usr.Gold]) to level your [attack.name] up.
Are you sure?"},"[src]:","Yes","No"))
            if("No") return
            if("Yes")
                if(usr.Gold < Price)
                    usr<<"You need [Price-usr.Gold] more gold!"
                    return
                usr.Gold -= Price
                attack.Lv += 1
                usr.Attack -= attack
                usr.Attacks += attack
                usr.verbs += /obj/Attacks/proc/Use// Use(attackname as text)
                attack.suffix = "Lv[attack.Lv]"
                gol
                var/L = input("","") in list("Atk2","Atk3","Atk4","Atk5","Atk6","Atk7","Atk8","Atk9","Atk10","Cancel")
                if(L == "Cancel") return
                if(winget(usr,L,"Command") == "true")
                    switch(alert("You have attack([winget(usr,L,"Command")]) in button [L]","","Yes","No","Cancel"))
                        if("No") goto gol
                        if("Cancel") return
                        if("Yes")
                            winset(usr,L,"Command=Use \"[attack.name]\"")
                            winset(usr,L,"text=[attack.name]")
                else
                    winset(usr,L,"Command=Use \"[attack.name]\"")
                    winset(usr,L,"text=[attack.name]")
                    world<<"[winget(usr,L,"Command")]"// outputs "Use " not "Use "attack1""

In my interface I've 10 attack buttons ("Atk1"-"Atk10") "Atk1" is peset to a basic attack the others are empty
I'm trying to make it when an attack is bought the user can set it to one of the Atk buttons but I need some help
Thank you for looking & any help be nice

You should try out some libaries. Forum Account's HUD Groups libary does what you're looking for.

I look at F_A's HUD Groups library & it does not
I'm using the build-in .dmf interface file
not making a map base interface

I apologize, I just read the summery at first and figured you were going for HUDs, why wont you use HUDs anyway?

Buttons have a image setting, you can attach a image to those buttons to represent the attack. There is a command setting where you can change the verb in which is used. You'd simply have to save these settings and load them once the mob logs in.

It the command that not working I'm trying to get "winset(usr,L,"Command=Use \"[attack.name]\"")" to work

Look into text2path() a little bit.

And, lacking experiance with switching commands for controls at runtime, Why would you place 'Use' in this?

/obj/Attacks/proc/Use(name as text)
    set src in usr
    set hidden = 1
    if(findtext("Heal",name))
        world<<"Use ([name])"
        usr.HP += src.power
    else
        var/mob/M = input() in oview(src.Range)
        if(M)
            M.HP -= src.power
    return

OH, ok. Sorry, I've been lacking sleep a lot lately; but when am I not? Lol.

The name of the obj might be becoming blank somewhere.

I would find it easier to simply attach a attack verb to each button than a obj reference.

It needs to be an obj because the usr have to buy it frist
& no the name is not blank
                    world<<{"[winget(usr,L,"Command")]
winset([usr],[L],"Command=Use "[magic.name]"")"}/*outputs "Use
winset(Prf X,Atk2,"Command=Use "Fireball"")"*/

It only has to be an object orriginaly, you could have the obj.name set to the name of a verb. Then you could use text2path("mob/verb/[obj.name]") to set the verb to the control. Which would cancel out the need for Use "Name"

No problem, sorry it took me so long to get you the help you needed.
Jul 26 2012, 5:49 pm
I should have thought of that too
