what am i doing wrong?:

      loc = location (/turf/start)

It says undefined proc.

Hey there Flying1ace. In the future, please make sure to wrap your code in <dm> tags, so that it will format properly.

The issue is that there is no procedure by the name of location(). I believe you're wanting locate() instead.

Here is a simple fix for you, if you prefer location() over locate() I guess.

proc
    location(arg1,arg2,arg3)
        if(arg1&&arg2&&arg3)return locate(arg1,arg2,arg3)
        else return locate(arg1)

mob
    Login()
        loc = location (/turf/start)
      
turf
    start

Note: I know it's redundant but eh.

Flying1ace is easier to use locate() proc:

mob
   Login()
      loc = locate(/turf/start)

I wouldn't even count that as a convenience function; that's just awful.

Damn trolls, instead of removing a few letters, they go and write new code to fix the old code.

Well done, 5 points!

Haha funny. I'm just assuming that this guy will be using location() persistently and will be wondering why he keeps getting these errors. By the off chance that he makes this mistake, he has no worries at all.



I do similar stuff with #define because at times I want my code to say mob/function/this() rather than mob/proc/this()


just by using #define function proc

Heh heh, yep I realised almost as soon as I made the post, oops!
