Add this (#define DEBUG) then repost error and the code
Your code is all [didn't mommy teach you not to use dirty words?] up why do u have mob/M in death_check but your still using src? and also the error is happening on var/damage = M.strength, and also in the attack verb you are using M,usr,src.dont do that jeez<.< go back and read more of the dm guide.

People cant always do stuff for you in the programming life u have to try and learn how to fix your errors not get people to do them for you.

That should all work better then what it did im just not sure about the error.

None of your changes were any good, Killer. :(

Turns out the reason the Attack() verb wasn't working was because you were calling the death check proc before trying to access the victim mob.
The deathcheck proc was killing it so when it came to accessing it, it wasn't there anymore.

Ignore KillerGrand's changes to your code, they didn't fix anything (for example he reversed the death_check() proc, when it was right the first time).

thank you ^_^

Can you fix it and show me code please
Dec 28 2006, 4:12 am
In response to Elation
Elation how was it right he was defining mob/M without even using M in his code <.<.
Dec 28 2006, 4:14 am
In response to KillerGrand
His proc wasn't right but it had the perspective correct. A death check proc should be checking (and then killing) the object it belongs to, not the other way round.
Dec 28 2006, 4:16 am
In response to Elation
Well sense you know more about coding then me are u gonna try and help him fix his code if not then let me try <.<.

I think this is how elation is saying not sure tho.
mob/proc/death_check(mob/M)
    if(M.client)
        if(M.powerlevel <= 0)
            src<<"You killed [M.key]!"
            world << "<small><font color = red><b>Death Info: <font color = blue>[M.key] has been killed by [src]."
            M.loc = locate(23,1,2)
            M.powerlevel = src.powerlevel_max
    else
        del(M)

here.

As I said before, you're calling the death_check() proc prematurely. Fix that problem first, then we'll move onto the other problems.

A section of your deathcheck proc:
mob/proc/death_check(mob/M)
    if(src.powerlevel <= 0)
        usr. <<"You killed [src]!"


Don't use usr in procs, as you cannot be sure what it is actually referring to.
Usr is evil :p

Anyway, what you need to be doing is making use of that mob you parsed into the proc as an argument. When you call death_check() you should make sure the attacker is sent through too.
victim.death_check(attacker)

Then you can use it properly- for example, send it messages.
M <<"You killed [src]!"


Oh, also this bit below is entirely redundant- delete the first message and <font color="red">close your tags! It's just lazy otherwise and it can cause problems later on. I'd find an example but my mind's gone blank...</font>
        world << "<small><font color = red><b>Death Info: <font color = blue>[src]/[key] has been killed by [usr]."
        if(src.client)
            world << "<small><font color = red><b>Death Info: <font color = blue>[src]/[key] has been killed by [usr]."



Also, judging from the way you've defined those three mob procedures in three different ways? Fairly obvious sign that you can't code, and every single line of code in your post was copy pasted from stuff other people have made.

Go learn!
Dec 28 2006, 4:27 am
In response to KillerGrand
Nope, you got it the wrong way round. The death_check should be from the perspective of the mob it belongs to- it should be checking src's health and deleting src. With all due respect Killer I don't think you really know enough to be giving people help just yet.

Sorry :(
Dec 28 2006, 4:29 am
In response to Elation
Well im still learning, also isnt (usr,src) the same thing.
if so then why would you be using [src]/[key] got killed by [usr].?

ok i got all that but i still get the runtime error :(
Dec 28 2006, 4:31 am

src and key is showing the users name and the users key name/key next to each other
Dec 28 2006, 4:33 am
In response to Tomf and Tails5
Exactly the users name/key, usr = user <.<, so why should src = user also.

Nope.
What is usr?

I don't- it's wrong. It should be "got killed by [M]." in this instance.
