Xorbah	I'm making a new Starwars game, and I was wondering, how would I make a race selection screen appear upon login?

Spunky_Girl	Add a input() proc under mob/Login() or client/New() >_>

Bound	hi im new to programming myself and i was wondering about this issue as well... if you mean input() proc under Login(), how exactly would you elaborate on that? for example you wanted to choose between a warrior and a mage... mob Login() input()...? thats about as far as i can get right now >_>

Well, make a list of all the races.

var/list/Races = list("Race 1","Race 2")

Then use the list in the Login() proc.

mob/Login()
  src.race = input(src,"What race would you like to be?","Race Select")in Races

Falacy	if that's the only time you plan on using the Races list you could just do this src.Race=input("Select your Race","Race Selection") in list("Race 1","Race 2")

I think I understand that...all you do is set a new variable which is a list of races, right? Then you prompt people when they login, but I'm not clear on what exactly

src.race = input(src, "What race would you like to be?","Race Select")in Races

really means

Immibis	Have you read the guide?

Bound	Yes, I have and I believe I figured it out...When the player logs in they will be prompted to input which race they want to be?

Spunky_Girl	Almost 2 days after you finally figred out what it's supposed to do? o.O

Bound	lol no, I just hadn't gotten around to checking the forums! My bad :p I've been hosting Seika too much anyways, I should probably work on my game instead

Spunky_Girl	You can't do both? >_> I don't mean to offend anyone, but people who take down their games just to do an update that could last as long as an hour to three hours, are stupid. You can make a copy of the game's files and edit those, then when you're ready to update, it would take a maximum of 2 minutes.
