Keeping your name.

I have a new() proc that assigns a special name to a space ship. However, if that space ship is connected to a client, I'd like it to keep it's name. Here is what I have tried:

New()
if(key)
..()
else
Space_Ship_Name_Process() //blah

This does not work. Any ideas?

New()
..()
if(key) src.name = src.key
else Space_Ship_Name_Process()


I think that's what you'd have to do.

*sigh* Nope...

mob
     Star_Ship
        Black2
            var
                model = "Heavy Fighter"
                global
                    basecodenum = 0
            icon_state = "Black2"
            name = "Black"
            New()
                if(usr.key)
                    usr.name = usr.key
                    ..()
                else
                    blah...
                                        ..()


This does not work. I'll keep working till it does.

The problem is that mobs don't have keys during the New proc.
