mob
    proc
        Damage(min,dmg)
            var/x = text2path("[min].val")
            x -= dmg
            src << x


Is there anything like text2var(), or how I could do it like that?

My intentions are like this: I got 6 variables that I want to choose from.

So, if I got 6 variables, named "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" and "f".

If I'd call the Damage(min,dmg) proc, I want to do it like this: Damage(a, strength.val * 4) (I use datums by the way (var/type = new(#,#)).

Could anyone please help me, provide me the information or tell me if it even exists? I think I just didn't look good enough.

Hmm currently that's not possible. Is <code>min</code> inside the vars list of a certain datum? If min is a datum by itself, then why can't you do min.val?

EDIT: Is the type of <code>min</code> variant?

I don't get what you're trying to do. Look up the 'vars' var of datums.

mob
    proc
        Damage(datum/min,dmg)
            min.vars["val"] -= dmg
            src << min.vars["val"]

stat
    var{val;maxval}
    New(v,mv){val=v;maxval=mv}
    proc
        String()return "[val]/[maxval]"
        Procent()return "([val*100/maxval]%)"
        RProcent()return "([round(val*100/maxval)]%)"

mob
    var
        NPC=0
        stat
            health=new(50,50)
            stamina=new(50,50)
            chakra=new(50,50)
            nin=new(1,1)
            gen=new(1,1)
            end=new(1,1)
            spd=new(1,1)
            str=new(1,1)
            ninexp=new(1,1)
            genexp=new(1,1)
            spdexp=new(1,1)
            endexp=new(1,1)
            strexp=new(1,1)
            level=new(0,0)

That is what I mean by datums. :/
I want to be able to distract from health.val, stamina.val and chakra.val and perhaps others, too.

Something like this?
mob
    proc
        Damage(min,dmg)
            var/stat/s = vars[min]
            s.val -= dmg
            src << s.val

Suppose it's impossbile because I'm getting a big runtime error. xD

That's because my original post uses vars["min"] instead of vars[min]. I edited it if you didn't notice.

Tried your latest, both runtime errors.

Well.. that's weird.

mob
    proc
        Damage(min,dmg)
            if(!(min in vars))
                CRASH("[min] is not a mob variable")
            var/stat/s = vars[min]
            if(!s)
                CRASH("[min] is null")
            s.val -= dmg
            src << s.val


Usage:
Damage("health",10)
