here's the code I have for random placement and the interpreter sez it has no errors.
PickLoc(atom/movable/M)
var/list/picklist = list()
for(var/turf/T in world)
if(T.density) continue
picklist += T
M.loc = pick(picklist)
return
But when I run it it sez runtime error :P:
runtime error: Cannot modify null.loc.
proc name: PickLoc (/mob/proc/PickLoc)
usr: Likwiddraino000 (/mob/player)
src: Kiwi (/mob/npc/Kiwi)
call stack:
Kiwi (/mob/npc/Kiwi): PickLoc(null)
Kiwi (/mob/npc/Kiwi): Death(null)
Likwiddraino000 (/mob/player): Attack(Kiwi (/mob/npc/Kiwi))

How are you calling PickLoc()? Unless you changed that, its still going to get called with no M, which is what's really causing your problem. (The indention mistake was unrelated to this one, but it would cause problems later).
It looks like you're just calling PickLoc(), when you need to be passing some mob to it. I'm not sure exactly what you're doing with it, so it could be anything. Its probably src or usr, however. -AbyssDragon | |

Death(mob/M) if(src.type == /mob/player) PCDeath() else if(src.HP <= 0) usr.exp += src.exp_give view() << "The enemy died!" view() << "You get [src.exp_give] experience!" PickLoc() | |

proc AbyssDragon is correct. The last line here should probably be PickLoc(src) or PickLoc(M). I'm guessing src since you aren't using M in this definition of Death(). You need to pass an argument into PickLoc(). | |
ok the code no longer has run-time errors...but the code doesn't randomly place them anywhere, it just deletes them :P
if(src.HP <= 0) usr.exp += src.exp_give view() << "The enemy died!" view() << "You get [src.exp_give] experience!" PickLoc(src) PickLoc(atom/movable/src) var/list/picklist = list() for(var/turf/T in world) if(T.density) continue picklist += T src.loc = pick(picklist) return | |
This means you're not passing a mob to PickLoc(), which means it gets to that bolded line, sees M.loc but it has no M, hence the null.loc error.
