I have a character selecter, and so does my freind Pmac, now on mine, whatever gender you got ur key with, u use that icon, but on his, there is a pop up window, in other words, I need a class selecter that works, my current one is:

orld
mob = /mob/create_character //set the default mob to create_character, as to make the selection stuff happen
view = 7 //I prefer 7...
turf = /turf/grass
mob/monkey //we are playing God here! let's create a monkey
icon = 'monkey.dmi' //the monkey will look like this!
verb //the monkey is quite primitive, so the things it can do are limited
//the things it can do are...
yell() //yell for no reason!
world << "[usr] yells like a monkey!"
run_about() //run around, monkily!
world << "[usr] runs around mindlessly!"
philosophize() //very primitive philopholizations!
world << "[usr] philosophizes! \He thinks, 'Munkee go woo hoo!'"

mob/human
icon = 'human.dmi' //this is what it will look like. quite ugly, no?
verb //the humans are more intelligent than the primitive monkies
speak(msg as text)
world << "[usr] says, in a sophisticated voice, '[msg]!'" //very sophisticated!
walk_around() //they can walk erect!
world << "[usr] strolls around leisurely."
philosophize() //they have much more developed brain power - they can philosophize meaningful things!
world << "[usr] wants to debate philosophical matters!"

this is not Pmac's. This is mine, from a demo, he got his from a tutorial, I jsut need a selector that works

Try this:

mob/creating_character

    Login()
        ..()
        world << "[usr] has just entered '[world.name]'!"
        src.CreateCharacter()

    proc/CreateCharacter()
        var/char_name = input("Please put your character name in here.","Name") as null|text
        var/mob/new_mob
        var/char = input(src,"Pick your character!") in list("Human","Monkey","None")
        if(char_name == "")
            src.Logout()
        if(char == "Human")
            new_mob = new/mob/human
        if(gender == "Female")
            new_mob = new/mob/monkey
        if(gender == "None")
            src.Logout()
        new_mob.name = char_name
        src.client.mob = new_mob
        usr.loc = locate(1,1,1)

Hope that helps.

Stop posting all of this we only need it once.

To fix this change it to how you have defined your mobs.

IE;

mob/player
    lee
        //stuff goes here

    jo
        //stuff goes here

    jim
        //stuff goes here

These get put as:

/mob/player/lee

/mob/player/jo

/mob/player/jim

Get what I mean by this?

Well, the point is to change the

/mob/human

to the actual defined mob you are using ok?

Here you go, hope this gets you into how things work:

world
    mob = /mob/creating_character      //This sets the default mob path
    view = 7                        //This sets the default view of the mob/player
    name = "Your games name goes here" //This sets the games name
    turf = /turf/grass                 //This sets the default turf

mob/creating_character

    Login()
        ..()
        world << "[usr] has just entered '[world.name]'!"//We tell the world that someone has just joined the game now
        src.CreateCharacter()

    proc/CreateCharacter()
        var/char_name = input("Please put your character name in here.","Name") as null|text //The player makes their name here
        var/mob/new_mob //We are declaring a new variable called "new_mob" which will be used in alittle minute
        var/char = input(src,"Pick your character!") in list("Human","Monkey","None") //The player chooses his/her character here
        if(char_name == "") //Here we tell the game to logout the player if he/she has a null name
            src.Logout() //This calls up the logout()
        if(char == "Human")
            new_mob = new/mob/player/human //Looking up the path "/mob/player/human"
        if(gender == "Monkey")
            new_mob = new/mob/player/monkey //Looking up the path "/mob/player/monkey"
        if(gender == "None")
            src.Logout()
        new_mob.name = char_name //This sets the players name to the one he/she made up before
        src.client.mob = new_mob //Here we tell the game that there is a new mob/player in the game
        usr.loc = locate(1,1,1)  //Here me make the new player start off at the location of X:1, Y:1, Z:1.

/*The characters are defined below*/

mob/player
    human
        icon = 'human.dmi'
        icon_state = "3"
        verb 
            speak(msg as text)

                world << "[usr] strolls around leisurely."
            philosophize() 
                world << "[usr] wants to debate philosophical matters!"

    monkey
        icon = 'monkey.dmi'
        icon_state = "5"
        verb
            yell()
                world << "[usr] yells like a monkey!"
            run_about()
                world << "[usr] runs around mindlessly!"
            philosophize() 
                world << "[usr] philosophizes! \He thinks, 'Munkee go woo hoo!'"
