Arrgh! I can't even code a simple "get".

This is the entirety of the code I'm using. Why can't I pick up a spear? It vanishes from the map, but a second later, I get "My loc is".

obj
portable
verb/get()
set src in range(0)
loc = usr.contents
spawn(10) usr << "My loc is [loc]"

mob
icon = 'pilot.dmi'

obj/portable/spear
icon = 'spear.dmi'

try.

src.Move(usr)

Also do you actually check if it is in the mobs inventory?

usr.contents isn't a valid loc; it's a list. You're looking for usr, which is a valid loc. :)

Err, wait, no I didn't. Shadowdarke told me what to say. Oh well. I helped Guy with a code problem...

I use Move instead of those assignments UNLESS I fiddle with the Move procedure.

When I add more complexity to the game, I'll probably want to do that too. In the meantime, loc = usr seems to work fine. Thanks, both of you who responded so promptly!
