Thats my obj



This is my NPC
mob/Ball_Seller
    icon = 'npc.dmi'
    icon_state = "Pokeball Seller"
    HP = "9999999999999999999999999999"
    verb
        Buy()
            set src in oview(3)
            switch(input("What do you want to buy???")in list("Pokeball - 200","Nothing"))
                if("Pokeball - 200")
                    var/give = input("How many Pokeballs do you wish to buy?")as num
                    if(usr.Money >= give*200&&give>0)
                        usr<<"Item bought"
                        usr.Money -= give*200
                        if(usr.pokeballs>=1)
                            usr.pokeballs += give
                        else
                            usr.pokeballs += give
                            usr.contents3 += new/obj/Pokeball
                    else
                        usr<<"Not enough Money"

After usr.contents3 += new/obj/Pokeball, I need it to set the Pokeball obj name to Pokeball x[usr.pokeballs], how do I do this?

In the event that the user has no pokeballs to begin with: Create a reference to the new object as a variable within your buy verb so that you can manipulate it.

var/obj/Pokeball/P = new(usr)
usr.contents3.Add(P)
P.name = "Pokeballs x[usr.pokeballs]"


In the event they already have a /obj/Pokeball in their contents3, you'll probably want to locate it.

var/obj/Pokeball/P = locate(/obj/Pokeball) in usr.contents3
P.name = "Pokeballs x[usr.pokeballs]"


Press F1 in DreamMaker and look at the entries for "new proc" and "locate proc".

You don't add atom objects to a list like that - the first arg of new() for them is the location to create them in. And only atoms or null are valid locations.
