hi all

I'm trying to check for the axe in my "back Pack" before the usr can chop down the tree:

obj

    tree
        icon = 'enviroment.dmi'
        icon_state = "tree"
        density = 1

        verb
            chop()
                set src in view(1)
                if(/obj/axe in contents) // <-- this is my problem. Need to chek if Axe is in contents but it doesnt seem to be checking
                    switch(alert("Chop down tree?",,"Yes","No"))
                        if("Yes")
                            var/obj/wood/w = new(locate(src))
                            w.desc = "Wood"
                            del src

                        if("No")
                            return
                else
                    usr << "You have no axe. You should find one or buy one"

You're checking if the type path is there, instead you need to use the locate() proc with the type path.

sorry to bug you once again. But please could you help me fix this. I want to create a seperate object(wood) in place of the the fallen tree:

                    switch(alert("Chop down tree?",,"Yes","No"))
                        if("Yes")
                            var/obj/wood/w = new(locate(src.loc))
                            w.desc = "Wood"
                            del src
                            
                        if("No")
                            return
