Handling All Vars Through List

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:07:16 +0000

Would handling all vars through one list be a problem? When I first thought of it, I figured it would be so much more easier than making a seperate var each time, when I could just

mob
    var/list/blah=new/list()
    verb
        test()
            if(src.blah["test"])
                return
            src.blah["test"]=1
            spawn(10)
                src.blah["test"]=0

Would this hurt the effeciency in any way?

Surroundings on client's screen

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:25:32 +0000

Is it possible to take the turfs and locations of mobs around a client and take that and place them onto the client's screen, basically making it look like their screen has frozen?

"Advanced" Combo System

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:18:45 +0000

I've been trying to get a new combo system going for myself, but can't seem to find anyway to do so, This combo system is a bit different and more advanced than the usual thought of "Combos".

I have 3 seperate offensive verbs:

P - Punch
K - Kick
E - Elbow

Now, I want players to be able to use these buttons in a "combination" for example:

"P,P,K"

Once the player uses that combo, I want it to have to cooldown for lets say 3 seconds, after the 3 seconds they can use that combination again. While that combination of verbs are cooling down, the player can use a different combination of attacks such as:

"P,K,P"

I know it sounds confusing, I'm not very good at explaining things but does anyone know how I can get a system like this started?

Login Bug

Code:

Problem description:It doesn't happen all the time, but half the time when a player logs in they choose what they must but when this proc is called, they aren't assigned a team or a loc. Can anyone help find the source of this problem?

Hiding Objects

Fri, 25 Dec 2009 02:24:18 +0000

I've been trying but can't seem to find a way to hide certain objects from certain players, I've messed around with usr.sight and just can't seem to find a way to do it.

Example:
Let's say I have an object called candy

obj/Candy
    icon = 'Blah.dmi'

Now, let's say I want that object to only be seen on the map by players who have reached a certain level and be hidden from any other players. How would I go about doing that (If possible).

Any help appreciated, thank you.

Thunderstorm Problem

Copytext Problem

Sat, 18 Jul 2009 01:26:34 +0000

Back Again with another problem (I must really suck!)
Code:

WorldSay(T as text)
        set hidden = 1
        if(!T) return
        if(lentext(T) > 100)
            alert("Nothing over 100 characters please.")
            return
        if(usr.Mute) return
        else
            world << output("[usr] WorldSays: [html_encode(T)]","Chat")
            sleep(10)
            if(usr.Is_Admin)
                if(copytext(T,1,7) == "Mute {")
                    Dragon_Mute(copytext(T,7))

Problem description: When I use say Mute {username here it mutes me instead of the name I am putting...

EDIT:

Dragon_Mute()
        if(!src) return
        else
            world << output("<center><font color = white>Info: \red [src] has been muted for 30 seconds. {No reason specified}</center>","Chat")
            src.Mute = 1
            spawn(300)
                world << output("<center><font color = white>Info: \red [src]'s mute time has expired.</center>","Chat")

SwapColor Problem

Problem description:runtime error: Cannot execute null.SwapColor().

The problem happens right after the customer finishes choosing their Gi's color. It breaks the proc right there doesn't even add the item to the bag.

Problem description:
Infinite loop suspected--switching proc to background.
If it is not an infinite loop, either do 'set background=1' or set world.loop_checks=0.
proc name: Knockback (/mob/proc/Knockback)

Even after doing 'set background=1' it causes a mass lag when the proc is called. Can anyone enlighten me on the reason?
