One of the problems I'm running into, and not quite sure how to solve it yet, is how to specify which object to get.
For example:
mob/verb/look()
var/obj/O
for(O in usr.loc)
usr << O.name
return
obj/verb/get()
set src in oview(0)
src.Move(usr)
return
Now if look() returns multiple names, all of the same like:
wood
wood
wood
it becomes difficult to specify which one to get. I know about using the wood.0 wood.1 wood.2 but it's very unwieldly and doesn't work very well when using the auto-complete command line due to the command line putting a space after the word (have to backspace and type a period and the number).
I was thinking about tagging all the objects with the same name with something like tag=i++ but wasn't sure how well I could get it to work in practice. I could then have the usr specify a number with the object (or just a number)... like
System Output:
wood(1)
wood(2)
wood(3)
User Input:
get wood 1
get wood one
get 1
get one
These examples are an oversimplification of what my actual code is, but it demonstrates the principle.
Any thoughts, ideas or inspiration?

Are either of these any use?
proc multiprompt(mob/M, title, list/choice) var/indexed[0] var/i var/reply for(i = 1, i <= choice.len, i++) indexed += "[i] [choice[i]]" reply = prompt(M,"[title]") in indexed i = text2num(reply) return(choice[i]) objprompt(mob/M, title, list/choice) var/indexed[0] var/obj/O var/i var/reply for(i = 1, i <= choice.len, i++) O = choice[i] indexed += "[i] [O.name] [O.desc]" sleep(10) reply = prompt(M,"[title]") in indexed i = text2num(reply) return(choice[i]) Sorry about formatting, I'm a bit pushed for time. | |
Sure, this could work. You could do:
get(O as obj in view(),thenum as null|anything in Numlist(O,view()))
if (thenum) O = Which(thething,thenum,view())
var/extra = ""
if (thenum) extra = " number [thenum]"
usr << "You get [O][extra]."
proc
Numlist(obj/thething,list/inlist)
var/obj/O
var/numberup = 1
var/list/outlist = new /list
for (O in inlist)
if (O.name == thething.name)
outlist += "[numberup]"
numberup++
return outlist
Which(obj/thething,thenum,list/inlist)
var/obj/O
var/numberup = 0
for (O in inlist)
numberup++
if (O.name == thething.name && thenum == num2text(numberup)) return O
Now if there are 4 woods, a player can type "get wood 3" and see "You get wood number 3." And should also be able to type just "get wood". I haven't tested this particular code.
