Code:

mob
    var/move=1
    var/moving=0
    Move()
        if(move&&!moving)
            moving=1
            if(Superspeed)
                var/mob/Afterimage/A = new
                A.overlayer = usr.overlays
                A.overlayer += rgb(0,0,0,100)
                A.overlays += A.overlayer
                A.icon=usr.icon
                A.icon += rgb(0,0,0,100)
                A.dir=usr.dir
                A.loc=usr.loc
            if(Superspeed||Flight)
                usr.moving=0
                ..()
            else
                spawn(5)
                usr.moving=0
                ..()
        else
            return 0

Problem description:

No matter what i do, i can't seem to use rgb() on an overlay, i've tried doing it through a process and using a new list but nothing seems to work.

Help? ^-^!

Vampire Game?

Alright so i've been playing BYOND for quite a while and i've yet to see a decent Vampire based game and since i started coding about a year ago and jsut got into watching True Blood it inspired me to give it a shot, so i just thought i'd run a few ideas on the forum to see what people think and whether it would work.

Before anyone starts with the whole 'Vampire's dominating everyone' ideal - the game will proberbly be roleplay based, allowing characters to develop and live out a life within a world filled with mysterious happenings. The game will have it's own story not following any currently created universe and as of such days have shortened whilst night dominates it leaving creatures who only come out at night more common amongst mortals.

The game will feature 3 main races on it's release: Humans, Weres and Vampires.
Because of the increase in supernatural beings some Humans have developed 'gifts' such as telepathy, telekinesis and shapeshifting.
Were's are your common Werewolf characters who are restricted to a single animal and depending on whether they are born or created in game they are able to have a pure animal form (Born) or a hybrid form (Created in game).
Vampire's are your typical blood suckers, craving blood and capable of living for an insane number of centurys, through age and experiance some of them have also developed gifts allowing them to fly, read minds or shapeshift.

Everyone will start off human, with a rare percentage of being born with either Vamprism or Were...ness.

Anyhow, the players will leave in a city with apartments, clubs and other buildings however it will also feature deep forests and caves - hopefully an underground sewer system aswell.

Feedback is welcomed with open arms.
