mob
    var/soldiernothappy = 1
    soldier //all mob/soldier's have the default click
        Click() 
            if(soldiernothappy)
                world << "no."
                return
                    
        penguin
            Click() //however, the penguin doesn't have default Click\
            but i still want it to run everything in the original procedure\
            so if the penguin isn't happy, it won't run the continuation of this
                world << "DAMAGE" //this line should only appear if the variable above was false.


The code has the problem in it, but I want this to work, as a time saver and to keep things less confusing. Calling the parent proc doesn't seem to help (..()) because even when called return doesn't stop the second Click from running because they're separate events...

..()

Yes. ..() will call the parent procedure. .=..() additionally stores the return value of the parent procedure into the variable . which is returned by default, and so is more useful for procedures like Move() which have an important return value.

So what is the simplest way have having the two procedures interact via they're pretty much the same proc only seperated, so that the return statement would work here?


EDIT: Like this?


mob
    var/soldiernothappy = 1
    soldier //all mob/soldier's have the default click
        Click() 
            if(soldiernothappy)
                world << "no."
                return 1
                    
        penguin
            
            Click() //however, the penguin doesn't have default Click\
            but i still want it to run everything in the original procedure\
            so if the penguin isn't happy, it won't run the continuation of this
                .=..()
                if(!.)
                    world << "DAMAGE" //this line should only appear if the variable above was false.

Why is the path for the penguin? /mob/soldier/penguin
Did you mean to put it /mob/penguin?

That's kind of irrelevant, but yes.

Then whatever you had before should work
