I have different races in my game (who doesn't?) such as man, dwarf, elf, etc. How do I get people of a certain race start at a certain place when they log in?
Jan 4 2005, 9:55 am
at the end of character creation put..
if(src.race == "human")
  src.loc = locate(1,1,1)
else if(src.race == "dwarf")
  src.loc = locate(1,1,2)

Use switches, they're much shorter.
switch(src.race)
  if("dwarf")
       src.loc = locate(9,1,1)
  if("human")
       src.loc = locate(13,37,1)

I tried that, but when I ran it, it didn't take me anywhere.

Did you add it right after they pick their race?

I used that code, but how do I make it so that the user sees their location without having to use my verb "look"? (My game is text based)

src << "Your loc is [src.x],[src.y],[src.z]."

Or you could just call your look verb. ;p

My game uses the names, not coordinates. I tried substituting the coordinates with the name, but it keeps saying a.name is an undefined var. I'm pretty sure it is.

Trust me, switch is better in the long run. It saves a lot of "else"s.

Oh.

mob/var/area/spawn


Then set their spawn to that, then use "spawn.name".

I never said it was worse/better I am just pointing out you said yours is shorted but it is not.

I guess I wasn't descriptive enough. You'll be using less "letters".

Wow yours is 46 letters mine is 55 BIG difference. Seirously 9 letters isn't going to kill you.

Just saying, it's faster then doing
else if(q==pie)
, 3.14, 304234, 23478237423, 349824392, etc.

You can EASILY shorten it up and go faster by using switch()

I like if()'s better but I guess its all about opinion.

It does use if()s. >_>

I'm sorry, I'm a little confused about that...
