Ok I thought it would be easier than this, but what is the easiest way to make a verb that will give gold to only the mob/pc that is selected??

My own code as of now follows, the selection part works, but when you right-click the verb on that person it brings up all the mobs in the area, even mob/npc.

ive_Gold(mob/pc/M as mob, give as num)
set src in oview(1)
if (M == usr) return
if(gold < give) usr << "You don't have that much to give!"; return
M.gold += give
usr << "You gave [give] gold to [M]."
M << "[usr] gave [give] gold to you."

Your way won't work well, it will lead to negitive numbers.


mob/verb/Give_Gold(mob/M as mob in oview(1))
    var/Amount = input("How much gold will you give?")as num
    if(M.client)
        if(usr.gold<Amount)
            usr<<"Not enough gold!"
        else
            M.gold+=Amount
            usr.gold-=Amount
            M<<"[usr] gave you [amount] gold!"
    else
        ..()



Should work.

Well since that's not even a give gold verb it doesn't take gold from anyone making it a free gold verb, which isn't what he wanted.

You're problem is in these two lines:

ive_Gold(mob/pc/M as mob, give as num)
set src in oview(1)

src can be any mob in oview(1) of the usr, and M can be any mob in view() of the usr. You want one or the other, not both.

Give_Gold(mob/pc/M as mob, give as num)
set src = usr // default mob verb setting
// rest of the verb can stay the same

or

Give_Gold(give as num)
set src in oview(1)
// src is the mob recieving gold, usr is the mob giving it
if(usr.gold < give) usr << "You don't have that much to give!"; return
src.gold += give
usr << "You gave [give] gold to [src]."
src << "[usr] gave [give] gold to you."

Of course, you'll want to address the other concerns mentioned in this thread, like giving negative values and subtracting the gold from the usr.

I love games that forget to check for negative quantities when giving :).
