This is the current title screen system I use, I have it to where when someone clicks the "New" button it runs this proc, but anyways, onto the main point.
I was wondering how I could make it to where the actual player can't move until the "conversation" ends. I have the variable set up to work under mob/players/Move(), and that part works, but I don't know how to set the variable correctly so that they can't move during the "conversation". Seeing as it sets src.client.mob to the new_mob variable before the conversation, src.move=1 isn't going to work.

Okay well I am not totally sure of this. But basically all you would have to do is 'lock' the new_mobs movement until the conversation is done.


So make a variable.

Define it to 1.

Have the new_mob move() proc check to see if that variable is 1.

If it is, return, and dont allow it to move.

Then at end of the conversation, set the variable to 0.

I thought of that, but you see, new_mob is only a variable, not an actual mob type.

Well if it's an actual variable, wouldn't calling the variable in the client/North() and sort be the same thing? Because client isn't an actual mob, it can be something like a spectator moving and it would so it. So do what I said under client.

I tried this;
client/Move()
     if(usr.client.mob==new_mob) return
     else ..()

And now I can't move, and yes I know I used usr, but src.client.mob or client.mob turned up as an undefined variable.

Well, as long as its working, and it doesn't cause any trouble. Use it.

You seem to have misunderstood me, I can't move. At all.
That's a bad thing.

Oh! Do you ever set your mob to an actual mob, or it stays at new_mob?

Basically, what it does is generates some things such as the mob type under new_mob, then sets new_mob to the client.mob, then the conversation happens.
I did set world/mob to /mob/players, though.

client/North()
  if(src.mob.NoMove)return  //If the variable is true, lock the movement.
  ..()

As I said, I know how to set it to where players can and can't move by the use of a variable, my problem is that I don't know HOW to set it to where it is 1 upon the use of the proc, and 0 after the conversation or after it teleports you into the "real world".

[edit]

I made a proc that does the conversation part, and I called it under NewChar() using a world<<"This worked!" to make sure it worked, as well as a src<<"This worked!", but for some reason the proc doesn't want anything to do with src and decides to tell "This worked!" to the world and stop.
