Saving a Player's Information

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:43:30 +0000

How would I go about saving a player's information after they log out? Such as their variables? Any help would be much appreciated (welcoming code with comments mostly).

Thanks,

Need verb help

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 20:40:16 +0000

Leave_Game()
set category = "Game"
src.verbs += /mob/player/verb/Join_Game
src.verbs -= /mob/player/verb/Leave_Game
src.LG() //LG is a proc

Join_Game()
set category = "Game"
src.verbs -= /mob/player/verb/Join_Game
src.verbs += /mob/player/verb/Leave_Game
src.JG() //JG is a proc

I want the command "Leave Game" to appear when I click "Join Game", but I don't want to be there when I haven't clicked "Join Game" yet. How would I do that?

Lists

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:18:11 +0000

I am making a RTS and how would I go about adding something I clicked to the list?

Also, I would like some examples of a movement system (like the selected units move to a certain area.

Selecting and Moving

How would go about making a selecting and moving system for my RTS? What would I need to make it where all my units selected move to an area?

New "\" Macro Idea

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 01:45:09 +0000

I would like to request a macro for the gender that like this:

mob
    verb
        Scream_for_Waiter()
            src << "What is it, \sir?" // it would replace sir with madam or whatever should be for neuter

This would be a good addition to thew macros we have (that is if I missed this macro...) for BYOND.

A Right Click built-in proc

I would to have Right Click as a built-in proc. This would be very useful for strategy games.

What do you think of the idea?

Empty Switch Statement

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 05:16:18 +0000

Code: Switch Alert Code

switch(alert("Would you like to play",,"Yes","No","Quit")) //All this code is in a proc
if("Yes")
    world << "[src] is playing."
if("No")
    world << "[src] is not playing."

Problem description: I get a warning
called "empty switch statement." Is there something wrong in my code?

Character Creation

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:13:33 +0000

What should my proc look like and contain for character creation? Also, what vars should be used?

Also, if you provide code, please leave comments so I understand them better.

Thanks

Combat code

Sat, 22 Dec 2007 21:49:16 +0000

I haven't used BYOND in a while, so I am wondering how exactly would I do to make a combat code. Like:

mob
    proc
        Attack()
            //code

One thing I am really looking for is where exactly to put the while command (before or after(I know, I sound like a noob)).
Thank you for anybody who helps.

Following old var value

Sun, 26 Aug 2007 21:50:02 +0000

Code: Max Code

                if(usr.lvl>=2)
                    if(usr.item!=maxitem)//I am thinking this is the line dealing with problem
                            usr << "You captured something!"
                            usr.plaxp+=4
                            usr.item+=1
                            usr.contents+=src

Problem description: I set up a var where you can set max of something, but it goes up each level. The problem is that it follows the old value (10), but it goes 5 each level gained by the player. So I get 10 of something and lets say 20 is my max. I can't pick up anything else even though it is 10/20....
Anything wrong with it?
