Macro Problem

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:51:05 +0000

I am trying to make something such that it calls a specific proc when you press certain keys. My question is, is there a way to find which key is being pressed by the user?

Problem description:
I am trying to make an attack which, in essence, is a 128x128 ball.
The problem is that the pixel offsets that i've given to each object dont work properly, that is, the ball doesnt form as it should. Also, while shooting the ball at an opponent the ball doesnt form, instead all the objects overlap on each other inside a 32x32 tile.

I got a similar problem while trying the same using locate(x,y,z). Code below:

obj
    tech
        tech_main
            density = 0
            layer = 999
            pixel_y = 64
            New()
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_1(locate(src.x-2, src.y+2, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_2(locate(src.x-1, src.y+2, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_3(locate(src.x, src.y+2, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_4(locate(src.x+1, src.y+2, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_5(locate(src.x-2, src.y+1, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_6(locate(src.x-1, src.y+1, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_7(locate(src.x, src.y+1, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_8(locate(src.x+1, src.y+1, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_9(locate(src.x-2, src.y, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_10(locate(src.x-1, src.y, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_11(locate(src.x, src.y, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_12(locate(src.x+1, src.y, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_13(locate(src.x-2, src.y-1, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_14(locate(src.x-1, src.y-1, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_15(locate(src.x, src.y-1, src.z))
                src.overlays += new/obj/tech/tech_16(locate(src.x+1, src.y-1, src.z))

Help would be appritiated.

Logout problem

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 20:16:46 +0000

Code:

mob
 Logout()
  del src

Problem description:
When someone logs out of the game im workin on, his char remains on the map. This is really bugging me. The code is simple.
If, on the other hand i use a proc to boot someone, they del properly. I am not sure whats causing this problem.
Perhaps im not using the Logout() proc properly, i read it in the help files but it wasnt explained in detail.

Looking for a mob from a distance

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 06:04:23 +0000

Code:

mob
    verb
        look(mob/M in oview(50,usr))
            usr << " found: [M]"
            return

Problem description:
I am making a verb to search for mobs from a distance (say, 50 tiles). I've tried oview/orange for this but both dont work (they can detect upto 7-8 tiles). Help would be appreciated.

Is it possible to use vars with random values in screen_loc

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 21:52:47 +0000

Code:

mob
    obj
        button  
            icon = 'button.dmi'
            layer = 10

mob
    proc
        add_button()
            var/xvalue = rand(1,15)
            var/yvalue = rand(1,15)
            var/obj/B = new/mob/obj/button
            B.screen_loc = "xvalue,yvalue"
            usr.client.screen += B
        
mob
    verb
        use_button()
            usr.add_button()
            return

Problem description:
I am trying to add a button on users screen at any random location. When i compile the code shown above it gives me a warning for the vars xvalue and yvalue not being used. And i get a runtime error when i use the verb ingame.

I just want to place the button on players screen at a random location(that is, a differnt location everytime he uses the verb). The button has to be on his screen and not on the map.
