How would I go about making a character start of as a baby then in time he/she would grow up into their child age, then teenage then into their adolescent age?

I dont know if thats a good explanation as to what I need but I hope you get what I am after as I dont know how to go about this. So any help would be much appreciated ^_^

I think I posted this yesterday..

mob
    var
        age = 1
        maxage = 100
    proc
        age()
            while(age != maxage)
                sleep(400)
                age++
                agecheck()
        agecheck()
            if(age == 10)
                icon_state = "pre-teen"
            if(age == 13)
                icon_state = "teen"
            if(age == 18)
                icon_state = "adult"
            if(age == 49 && <=99)
                icon_state = "senior"


Or just make an icon_state numbered with the age for each stage and do:

mob
    var
        list/ages = list(10,18,49)
    proc/agecheck()
        if(ages.Find(age))
            icon_state = "[age]"//Make sure you have the "" icon_states MUST be a text string


//Make sure if you use this example you don't forget the age() proc from the first example



If it doesn't work sorry I'm not in a good coding condition.

I don't like it when people do that, it's annoying (LJR, I'm talking about you, too!) just hold your horses and you'll get some help. I already helped you.

Thanks Nadrew, I will try this out ^_^

Also you dont have to be sorry if it doesnt work! I know you dont get much sleep, and if it doesnt work I will try to solve the problem if I cant I will come back for more help.

But like I have stated before in IM's with you, YOU NEED TO SLEEP MAN! I know you have said you aint got the time but at least take alittle break from here and get some sleep. You need it.

Thanks again ^_^

Make it based on experince points!

Or you could just make a age proc for the mobs put on a very long timer, so you only had only so much time to play the game.

LJR

Its going to be on a VERY long timer ;)

I am not basing it on Experience points because most people find away around this and get huge ammounts of it somehow. So experience points are out of it ;)

They have to wait for the timer to work its way around.
