So I either to know how to make a start turf or I need the right code for it. At least that's what I think I need.
|
1. You want to call the default Login proc via ..().
2. You mean the turf isn't defined? |
You don't have a turf defined named start. This is pretty basic:
turf |
I made the start turf and I placed it but I couldn't see my base character. When I pressed the Text option though it had a P for player. Is there some thing I did wrong?
|
Did you make sure to make an icon for your player, and link it up? Like this?

Yes I did, but for some reason it seems like my players blending into the background there's not a bit of green on him.
|
I'm afraid I'm not certain how I can help you unless I see the code more directly. There are numerous small suggestions for you to look at, but...

mob This is exactly what tags are for. |
In response to Ter13

tag: may not be set at compile-time
that's the error I got. |
Ah, yeah, been a while since I've used tags. Either way, create an instance of a /turf on the map with an edited tag with the value: "initialspawn".
Either way, every single response in this thread but mine doesn't address your problem. |
Login()
if(!src.loc) src.loc = locate("initialspawn") in world else .=..() Ya this is what I put in and I I'm pretty sure Ter that you meant to make a initial spawn turf so I made one and followed exactly what you said the first time and placed the initial spawn turf on my test map. The map was completely blank even though I put in my floor turf and I tried it again without the initial spawn turf and I put the regular start turf but it stayed the same way. got anything else for me or any body that would take time outta there day to help me? |
sorry for not using the right tag, I'm almost really new to everything on the byond website.
