Hey guys, im really at a the end of my tether with my sleeping code.

You see, the thing is im trying to make a simple 'sleeping' code which turns my characters icon into a bed for about 10 seconds, but when i made the icon change, they could still move around (thus the 'sleep walking' pun, lol) ... and... well... i became increasingly frustrated and deleted the code =(

If any of you guys can help, please do =)

Thanks a lot

You could try something like this: 
mob/var/state
mob/verb/sleep(time as num)
    var/original_icon
    if(isnull(time)) time = 50 // if they chose 0 as time
    if(time > 1000) time = 50 // if its over 100 seconds
    if(time < 50) time = 50 // if its under 5 seconds
    if(state != "standing") 
        src << "You must be standing to sleep!"
        return 0

    else
        src << "You fall asleep, zzzzzzz"
        original_icon = src.icon // store their icon
        src.state = "sleeping" // change their 'state'
        src.icon = 'bed.dmi' // change their icon
        spawn(time) // spawn() for time
            src.icon = original_icon // revert icon
            src.state = "standing" // revert state
            src << "Wakie wakie!" 
            return 1


mob/Move()
    if(state=="sleeping") return 0 // if they are sleeping, dont let them move
    else return ..() // else just go about as normal

Hope that helps.

Take a look at the proc thats right before the verb, that might be causing the problem.

Jeez =(

Sorry Alathon, but everything i write, just seems to build up the errors =(

Can you please teach me what I'm supposed to do?

i wrote:

proc
sleep

Before the sleep verb.

I'm just confused now :(

sleep() is a pre-defined proc that DM uses, and you're not allowed to override it, change /mob/proc/sleep() to /mob/proc/sleeping().
