Calling variables with procs

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 02:32:54 +0000

Code:

verb
    ExampleSkillOne(mob/T as mob in oview(1))  //Skill #1
        var/damage = [fancy calculations]      //A variable "damage" that holds the power of this particular skill
        
        usr.Attack(T)                           
        T.DeadCheck()
        
    ExampleSkillTwo(mob/T as mob in oview(1))    //Skill #2
        var/damage = [different calculations]   //A variable "damage" for this skill
        
        usr.Attack(T)
        T.DeadCheck()
        
proc
    Attack(mob/T)
        //this is where the damage calculation would go
        usr << "The attack hit [T] for [damage] damage."
        T << "You were hit by [usr] for [damage] damage."
    
    DeadCheck()
        if (hp <= 0)
            view() << "[src] has fallen in combat!"
            del(src)

Problem description:

The idea is to set a variable "damage" for each skill, and then have the verb call the Attack proc to determine how much damage is done. However, no matter which way I try to make it work, I can't get the Attack proc to recognize the "damage" variable.

I'm not the greatest coder on BYOND, so there's probably something simple that I'm missing here, but searching the forum and browsing the Blue Book hasn't helped. Any help would be much appreciated.
