I remember seeing something somewhere that looks a bit like this:
mob
    Login()
        loc=locate(1,1,1)
        world<<"[src] logs in."
        src=/mob/player

Am i going mad, or is that really possible? Because src is't given player.dmi as an icon.

Wouldn't it be easier to do it like this?
mob
    Login()
        loc=locate(1,1,1)
        world<<"[src] logs in."
        var/mob/player/O = new()
        O.client=src.client

AAAAAAAAAARGH!!! I don't see a problem here, all i can say is that maybe it is because i keep creating new mobs and logging them in, it is giving the Login() message again and again. But new mobs aren't logging in because they aren't usr's until you make them that by logging in, which you only do once... i is confuzzled. >.$

Wouldn't it be even easier if you did it like this?

world/mob=/mob/player
mob
    Login()
        loc=locate(1,1,1)
        world<<"[src] logs in."


Now, I don't know why you did what you did in the first place, so if it ain't right, we need to see more. : /

Actualy it should look like this:

world
     mob = /mob/player
mob/player
     Login()
          loc = locate(1,1,1)

huh, actually i have no idea how that works, because shouldn't it turn ALL mobs into /mob/players? But it doesn't. Thanks.

It should make it so that any player that gets a new mob created for them, gets a /mob/player type of mob, unless you specifically specify otherwise.

I see you edited your post to say resolved, but since no one pointed it out, and in case you didn't understand why, here's the explanation to your error:

mob/Login() is called whenever a client connects to a new (to them anyway) mob. Because Buzzyboy's example is creating a new mob and connecting the client to it inside of the Login() proc, it is looping.

This is how the game thinks:

1. A new client connects to the game. Give it a new mob based on whatever the world.mob is. (If you don't define this, I think it just gives it /mob)

2. A client was just connected to a /mob, since the client just connected to it, call mob/Login()

3. Set it's location to 1,1,1

4. Send "[src] logs in." to the world

5. Create a new mob of type /mob/player.

6. Connect the client to the new mob.

7. A client was just connected to a child of /mob, since the client just connected to it, call mob/Login().

8. Do 3-7 again... and again, and again. Infinitely repeating.


So, that's the reasoning behind it.

Actually, I already showed him that. <_<
