Problem description:
The link comes up perfectly but when i click it nothing happens? no matter what code i use it shows the link but it doesnt do what its suppose to do..its like the links been removed. I tried a code from another game that works then put it into my game and it doesnt. only the link shows.
Please help me find a solution.

First, don't copy and paste.

Second, I'm guessing your Topic() is not being called properly. Check out this for some clarification.

If a piece of code does not yield the expected result and you want others to assist you, you provide the code snippet and explain what you expected to happen and what actually happens when that code is executed.
Otherwise, you're going to have to wait for somebody with a crystal ball to read your mind.

mob

    Topic(href, href_list[])
        if( findtext("watch", href_list["action"]))
            var/A = href_list["action2"]
            for(var/mob/M in fighting_participants)
                if(M==A)
                    usr.client.perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE
                    usr.client.eye = M
                    usr.watching = 1
                    usr << "If you want your sight to normal just use the Watch verb."


I want this code ,wich is suppose to be a watch code so can see people fighting in tourny, to when the rounds appear in tourny output to be able to click the peoples names and then there eye sight goes to the person fighting

We need to also see where you are creating the link, that is being clicked.

<a href='?src=\ref[M];action=watch;action2=[usr.name]'>perspns name</a>

href_list["action2"] is a text string. You are attempting to compare it to an instance of an actual mob. Mobs are not text strings.

You'll want to use \ref[usr] and then use locate(href_list["action2"]) to find the mob.

I would say something along the lines of...

switch(href_list["action"])
   if("watch")


One of the problems I was having while looking at this.

Use " " instead of ' ' if you want it to recognize variables. And listen to what Garthor wrote.

He's using single quotes because it's embedded inside a text string.

mob

    Topic(href, href_list[])
        world << "Watch" //to check if its even being called
        if( href_list["action"]=="watch")
            world << "Watch" //to check if its even being called
            var/A = locate(href_list["action2"])
            for(var/mob/M in fighting_participants)
                if(M==A)
                    src.client.perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE
                    src.client.eye = M
                    src.watching = 1
                    src << "If you want your sight to normal just use the Watch verb."

ok i got it to work..for some reason i had to use client instead of mob.

now i have another problem... When i click it it does what i want but the sight doesnt go to the persons i clicked..

client

    Topic(href, href_list[])
        if( href_list["action"]=="watch")
            var/mob/A = href_list["action2"]
            for(var/mob/M in world)
                if(M.name==A)
                    usr.client.perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE
                    usr.client.eye = A
                    usr.watching = 1
                    usr << "You are watching [A]==[M]."
                    usr << "If you want your sight to normal just use the Watch verb."



usr <<"<a href='?src=\ref[usr];action=watch;action2=[usr.name]'>Get</a>"


My sight just goes black for some reason.
