I've been having trouble coming up with a good double click command. I want it so the person can double click a mob of a NPC and the NPC talks with that I told it to responde with. Any suggestions on a easy version of this.

mob/monster
  var/speak
  var/mob/owner
  DblClick()
     if(!src.owner==usr)
         usr << "[src] says [src.speak]!"
     else
        usr.monster.speak = input("What would you like your monster to say"?)as text
        usr << "You set your monster's text to [src.monster.speak]."     

mob/verb/createmonster()
   new var/mob/monster/M (src.loc) //This may not work, I suck at new commands
   M.owner = src



[edit]There, try that
:p
Remember, it's okay to use "usr" since it's a click proc.
[edit]OOOOOHHH...
one sec, let me fix this

Here's a basic structure of NPC dialogue:

mob/NPC

    var/dialogue

    DblClick()
        if(src.dialogue)
            usr << "[src.dialogue]"


And an example:

mob/NPC/Cow
    icon='Cow.dmi'
    dialogue="Moo"


Now, when a player clicks on a cow, he will get "Moo"ed.

Depending on the complexity of your game, you probably would want a proc instead:

mob/NPC

    var/dialogue

    DblClick()
        Dialogue(usr)

    proc
        Dialogue(mob/Player/target)
            .=..()


And an example:

mob/NPC/Cow
    icon='Cow.dmi'
    
    Dialogue(mob/Player/target)
        target << "Moo"


Although the latter may seem more cumbersome due to its slightly longer length, it's probably the better way. That way, if you want anything to happen when a player enters into a conversation with an NPC, it's much easier.

For example, if you wanted a player to be able to buy from a shopkeeper by double clicking on it:

mob/NPC/Shopkeeper

    icon='shopeeeper.dmi'

    Dialogue(mob/Player/target)
        src.Sell(target)

    proc

        //Generate a list of things to sell
        //From the shopkeeper's contents
        Generate_toSell()
            
            var/list/toSell=list()

            for(var/obj/Inventory/S in src.contents)
                toSell[S]=S.price

            return toSell

        //Actually sell the stuff
        Sell(mob/Player/consumer)

            if(!istype(consumer))
                return

            var/list
                toSell=Generate_toSell()
                interface=list()

            for(var/obj/Inventory/S in toSell)
                interface["[S.name] - [S.price]"]=S

            var/obj/Inventory/buy=input(consumer,"What would you like to buy?","Buy")\
            as null|anything in interface

            if(!buy||consumer.gold<buy.price)
                return

            consumer.contents+=buy
            consumer.gold-=buy.price

Your's was more wide-ranged, and better for other things. :p
I just had a bit better knowledge of what he wanted.

Actually, I want the NPC to talk with what I coded it to say. Not input what I want it to say.

mob/Help
   DblClick()
      usr << "Bot: Hello [usr] I am the Helper Bot."

Does that help?
