I'm trying to learn more about codes, so I make a small world to test my habilities. In this test, I send a message to the player alerting him what I will do and just after I delete him. Its very simple, but my question is: How I send this message only to the player. I tryed use src >>, but nothing happens. Also, i want know more about 'src'. I think this is used to substitute the subject of an code, like I do in my code.

world
mob = /mob/usr
fps = 25
icon_size = 32
view = 6

atom
icon = 'icones.dmi'

mob
usr
icon_state = "bola"
step_size = 1
New()
deletar()
obj
step_size = 8

turf
icon_state = "grama"

mob
proc
deletar()
world << "I will delete you"
sleep (10)
del(src)

Please place code between the <dm> tags, thanks.

I suggest you have a look at the Guide, specifically chapter five if you want to know more about src.

The problem I can see with your code is that there is no delay whatsoever, the second the player logs in, New() is called and they're deleted after a second. The message probably has no time to show up at all before the player is shown out the door.

world
    mob = /mob/player

mob
    player
        proc
            delete_me()
                src << "You're probably going to get deleted!"

                sleep(10)

                del src

        New()
            // Create a separate thread for the procedure to run in after three seconds.
            spawn(30)
                delete_me()
