Okay, I figured out a way to live with my equipping problem, but now I don't want the verb to appear on the verb panel, but only when I right click on it. But, setting the category to null crashes the program (Dreamseaker) every time. Here is the first few lines of code. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I Guess the code would help.... Here it is

obj
weapons
icon = 'weapons.dmi'
verb
EquipWeapon()
set category = null
set src in usr
if (usr.weapon == 1)
if (src.suffix == "Equipped")
usr.strequip -= src.strbonus
usr.defequip -= src.defbonus
usr.aglequip -= src.aglbonus
usr.luckequip -= src.luckbonus
usr.intequip -= src.intbonus
src.suffix = ""
usr.weaponname = ""
usr.weapon = 0
usr << "You have unequipped the [src.name]."
else
usr << "You must unequip the [usr.weaponname]"

use this, but change it to your needs.
and set the vars.

obj/weapon/Roller_Sword
icon = 'swords.dmi'
icon_state = "2"
name = "Roller Sword"
Money = 13
power = 2
verb
Equip()
set category = "Commands"
if(usr.wep == src.name)
usr << "Your already have somthing Equiped!"
if(usr.wep == null)
if(istype(usr, /mob/characters/wizard))
alert("your class cant Equip that!")
else
if(alert("Are you sure you want to Equip this Weapon?","Equip??","Yes","No") == "Yes")
usr.Att+=power
view(6) << "[usr] Equips his Roller Sword."
usr.wep = src.name
usr.equiped = 1
suffix += "Equiped"
UnEquip()
set category = "Commands"
if(usr.wep == null)
usr << "You have Nothing equiped!"
if(usr.wep == src.name)
if(alert("Are you sure you want to UnEquip this weapon?","UnEquip??","Yes","No") == "Yes")
usr.wep = null
usr.Att-=power
suffix = null
usr.equiped = 0

What I'm trying to do is make it so that the verb doesn't show up in the panel, but shows up when you right click on the item in the list.

You can't do that, sorry.

Yes he can. Setting category to null should achieve the effect he's looking for. I ran a little test and got it to work. Additionally, I don't see anything wrong with his code.

Taken from the reference:

To hide a verb from all panels, set the category to null. The verb may still show up in right-click popup menus...

Hmm I never thought about setting it to null. You're right and I just learned something.

Well, the code compiles, but when I run it and right click on the item in the inventory, Dreamseaker crashes. I'm using build 316

I'm not seeing this action.

DM code shouldn't crash Dramseeker (if used correctly). If you can reproduce this, send the project to [email protected] along with instruction on how to reproduce the crash.
