Get() and Drop()

Would someone please explain to me why my Get() and Drop() verb is allowing me to get Mobs?

I dont want the Get() verb nor Drop() verb to allow the Mobs to be able to pick one another up as I just tested it out now and I accidentally picked up a player.

Here is my Get() and Drop() verb:

mob/verb
    Get()
        set category = ("Commands")
        set src in oview(2)
        if(src.Move(usr))
            oview() << "[usr] gets [src]."
            usr << "You get [src]."
            usr.Wei += src.Wei
        else
            usr << "You can't get [src]."

    Drop()
        set category = ("Commands")
        set src in usr
        if(src.Move(usr.loc))
            oview() << "[usr] drops [src]."
            usr << "You drop [src]."
            usr.Wei -= src.Wei
        else
            usr << "You can't drop [src]."


Could someone please help?

When you use set src in something it's telling it to it to pick up mobs because it's setting src which in this case is a mob.

obj
    verb
        Get()
            set src in oview(1)
        ...


Should help you.

The problem is you assigned your Get() and Drop() verbs to mob, then coded them as if you'd assigned them to obj.

There are two ways to do a Get() verb:

Object-oriented method:
obj
  verb/Get()
    Move(usr)

Player-oriented method:
mob
  verb/Get(obj/O as obj in oview(1))
    O.Move(usr)

You basically mixed and matched. Hence your error. The verbs should be defined under obj, not mob. Preferably you should assign them under obj/item or some subtype so other objs you can't pick up won't be taken.
