The input procedure seems to return null when a verb-path is selected from a list.
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
mob
verb
say(msg as text)
world << msg
takeVerb()
var/list/players[0]
for(var/client/c)
if(c.key)
players += c.mob
var/mob/choice = input(src, "Who would you to take a verb from?","Take Verb") as null|mob in players
if(choice)
/* var/list/p_verbs[0]
for(var/p in choice.verbs)
p_verbs += "[p]" */
var/remove = input(src, "What verb would you like to take from [choice.name]?","Take Verb") as null|anything in choice.verbs
src << "You selected [remove]"
if(choice && remove)
choice.verbs -= remove
Expected Results:
input() should return the selected verb-path.
Actual Results:
The return value is null.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every time
In other user accounts? N/A
On other computers? N/A
When does the problem NOT occur?
Other path related selections (typesof(/obj)) work correct.
Workarounds:
mob
verb
say(msg as text)
world << msg
takeVerb()
var/list/players[0]
for(var/client/c)
if(c.key)
players += c.mob
var/mob/choice = input(src, "Who would you to take a verb from?","Take Verb") as null|mob in players
if(choice)
var/list/p_verbs[0]
for(var/p in choice.verbs)
p_verbs += "[p]"
var/remove = input(src, "What verb would you like to take from [choice.name]?","Take Verb") as null|anything in p_verbs
src << "You selected [remove]"
if(choice && remove)
choice.verbs -= remove
Storing the verb path as text in a list and having the text return instead works fine.
Funny enough, you do not even have to use text2path on the result, like the reference suggest.
