Code:
obj
    clickable
        say
            icon='visual.dmi'
            icon_state="equip"
            Click(null,null,null,msg as text)
                flick('clicked.dmi',src)
                usr.say() //Here.


Problem description:

How would I get it to call the verb say and still ask what you want to type?

EDIT: This might go in developer-how-to, but I have a code too. :/

You know how arguments work, no?

obj
    clickable
        say
            icon='visual.dmi'
            icon_state="equip"
            Click()
                flick('clicked.dmi',src)
                usr.say(input(usr,"What do you want to say?") as text) //Here.

Why have it like that? (Plus you dont need that usr there, since usr is default).

obj
    clickable
        say
            icon='visual.dmi'
            icon_state="equip"
            Click()
                flick('clicked.dmi',src)
                usr.say()
mob/verb/say(msg as text)
    //Some if()'s to see if they can talk, and/or a filter system here then...
    world<<"[src] sayz: [msg]"


Wouldnt that work the same, without having to use input and such like that.

Oh, yes, I forgot, usr is default. Try removing usr and compiling that. You'll see why I put it.

Also, the message will be null by default. You really need to brush up on your DM. In a test world, clicking it will output "[src] sayz:"

I think 'src' is actually the default on Click. If I remove 'usr', then it doesn't seem to know that the verb Click belongs to a mob.


I didn't know you could use input for anything beyond already defined lists. Good to know.

The verb arguments are only handled like that when attempting to use them in a DS window.

Just calling usr.say() will call the verb just like that, with no arguments or anything.

ps: src is default, not usr

Hm, he may be referring to the usr in the input(), where it is default.

src is always the default in a proc. He could have meant in input(), as GhostAnime said, and I overlooked that; if he was talking about input(), though, he should have been more specific.

Yeah, I should have said that clearer. And I was just saying if that is possible, I didn't know myself and was wondering why he was doing it like that. Thanks for telling me though ^^
