Voice activated door

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 02:51:17 +0000

Problem description:
Im trying to make a door that will open when the user says "open" in Say. I tried findtext in a bunch of different ways but I can't really figure it out. Does it have to be used in an if statement like the example in the DM Reference? Could someone please give me an example?

mob
    icon='person.dmi'
    var
        hp=1
        mhp=100
        str=5
        def=2
                gold=10
mob
    verb
        Attack(mob/M as mob in oview(1))
            var/damage = usr.str - M.def
            if(damage <=0)
                usr<<"[M] dodges your attack"
                M<<"You dodge [usr]'s attack."
            else
                M.hp -= damage
                view()<<"[usr] attacks [M]."
                M:deathcheck()



mob
    proc
        deathcheck()
            if(src.hp <= 0)
                view() << "[src] dies!"
                src.hp = 10
                src.Move(locate(10,10,5))

Obj that doesn't show up in inventory

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 05:35:17 +0000

What I'm trying to do is have eyes that open and close, I already know how to do that but I don't want to change the icon state because there are several different colors, so the simple way would be to just make an object equip and unequip. How could I make an object that wont show up in your inventory? and is there a way to add them to an inventory uppon signing in like:

mob/login()
    if(usr.key in "eyes")
        usr.obj += "eyes"

I appreciate the help

Creating a username uppon login

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:51:52 +0000

What I want people to be able to create a name when they log in, what happens with my log in system so far is:
The player selects their gender, then their color then they are moved to the spawn point. Also I want GMs to be teleported to a different room but I'm having some trouble with that

turf
    CreateNew
        Click()
            usr<<"You have selected to creat a new character please select your gender"

            var/color
            while(!color || color == "Back to gender")
                switch(alert(usr,"Select your gender:","Gender","Male","Female"))
                    if("Male")
                        usr<<"You have chosen Male as your gender, please select your color:"
                        var/colr = input(usr,"Select your box Color") in list ("Red","Blue","Back to gender")
                        color = colr

                    if("Female")
                        usr<<"You have chosen Female as your gender, please select your color:"
                        var/colr = input(usr,"Select your box Color") in list ("Pink","Puple","Back to gender")
                        color = colr

            usr.icon_state = color
                   if(usr.key in GM)
                    usr.loc=locate(2,10,4)
                  else
