Alright so as you can see I have an obj (Card) that has a text stringed Card Code. When I add the card to a deck it also adds the card's code.

What I am asking here is, how would I create a deck using only the text strings? Is there a text2object or something? Please help x.x

Just for the sake of clarity, you're wanting to create a deck by just going through all of your /Cards and adding the text strings from them? Why not just create an instance of each /Card and add it to your deck with typesof() a la:


proc/compile_deck()
  // Just an example
    var/Deck/D = new
    for(var/card_type in typesof(/Card) - /Card)
        var/Card/C = new card_type
        D.Add(C)


(P.S. I fixed your closing <dm> tag)

No no what I mean is when I add a card to my deck, that card's code gets placed into the deck's code. The Deck has its own code which i can export fine.

I want to be able to create a deck by using only the text strings i added to it.

Ah, so ideally what you're looking for is a reverse lookup table so that you can serialize your Deck into strings and save yourself the overhead of saving entire datums? Here's a neat trick you could use, then. initial() takes a parameter, a var. The neat thing about this is you can pass it a var that doesn't actually have a valid instance attached to it, such as the following:

var/list/lookup_table = null
proc/build_reverse_table()
          // Just an example
    for(var/t in typesof(/Card))
        var/Card/v = t
        var/cardId = initial(v.code)
        if(cardId)
            if(!lookup_table) lookup_table = new
            lookup_table[cardId] = t


The down-side is that your 'code' var is technically static const without actually BEING static const. You'll also want to go through and make sure that all /Card types (such as /Card itself or any categorization sub-types) that you do NOT want to be listed in the lookup table (potentially over-writing other, more valid cards?) have their code = null.
