usr.icon_state = input("Team/Driver") in list ("Sauber: Felipe Massa","Sauber: Giancarlo Fisichella","Toyota: Olivier Panis","Toyota: Cristiano Da Matta","Jordan: Nick Heidfeld","Jordan: Giorgio Pantano","BAR: Jenson Button","BAR: Takuma Sato","Ferrari: Micheal Schumacher","Ferrari: Rubbuns Barricello","Williams: Juan Pablo Montoya","Williams: Ralf Schumacher","Jaguar: Mark Webber","Jaguar: Cristian Klien","Mclaren: Kimi Raikkonen","Mclaren: David Coulthard","Minardi: Gianmaria Bruni","Minardi: Zsolt Baumgartner","Renault: Fernando Alonso","Renault: Jarno Trulli")
usr.Move(locate(27,3,1))

thease are the names that the player has to cheose from i want it so when someone picks the name there name will change to that

E.G Fred = Sauber: Felipe Massa so his name changes to Sauber: Felipe Massa in game instead of when he talks saying this

Fred says:hi
i want it to says
Sauber: Felipe Massa says:hi

so u understand me

Make a new variable and let the input determine the results of the variable. Then set the player's name according to equal the variable.

<code>mob/Login() var/choice = input("Team/Driver") in list("Bunch of names") src.name = choice src.icon_state = choice</code>

my mate helped me sort it. It should look like this

mob/Login()
var/choice = input("Team/Driver") in list("Sauber: Felipe Massa","Sauber: Giancarlo Fisichella","Toyota: Olivier Panis","Toyota: Cristiano Da Matta","Jordan: Nick Heidfeld","Jordan: Giorgio Pantano","BAR: Jenson Button","BAR: Takuma Sato","Ferrari: Micheal Schumacher","Ferrari: Rubbuns Barricello","Williams: Juan Pablo Montoya","Williams: Ralf Schumacher","Jaguar: Mark Webber","Jaguar: Cristian Klien","Mclaren: Kimi Raikkonen","Mclaren: David Coulthard","Minardi: Gianmaria Bruni","Minardi: Zsolt Baumgartner","Renault: Fernando Alonso","Renault: Jarno Trulli")
src.loc=locate(27,3,1)



src.name = choice
src.icon_state = choice

thanks for all your help

here's another tip:

when showing code do it in dm tags like so:

mob
   Login()
        while(1)
             src << "Haha it sucks to be you"
             alert ("Haha it sucks to be you")
             sleep(5)


to do that just put your code between these tags:

(dm)
(/dm)

but change () to <>

For future reference, &lt; and &gt; (less than and greater than) let you show < and > without it becoming an HTML tag.

Ok thanks a lot but one question:

how did you show the word "& lt" + "& gt" without it turning into <>?

Hit the "Reply With Quote" button, but don't reply. It'll show you how.
