Official.dmb - 43 errors, 0 warnings (double-click on an error to jump to it)

would i have to define the vars and procs under my mob/character? or is there another easier way to do it?
Best response
No, anything defined under /mob should apply to /mob/character.

I only have 1 question, where are those things defined in first place?
I followed first few errors but I didn't find a definition for move() or RIGHT or LEFT or slow_jump etc.

It makes me wonder whether you're missing a file from the library.
(Check it's ticked and everything, it might be a simple silly issue)
I hope you are not copy-pasting the library into your project.

In case you don't know, you can include the library into your project by checking it in your file tree under the Lib folder.

Make sure that you have the latest version of the Sidescroller library and other libraries that it uses to avoid problems.
i didnt know u could include the library like that .-. thx for something new. and i it was just a simple silly issue....i didnt have the movement file ticked... THX ANYWAY GUYS
Alot*
Hmmm How would i go about adding the macros to my characters from sidescroller, cause as of now the macro for jump doesnt work for me. And i was wondering if its possible to have the same key be used as a different macro for different characters? for example having "A" let one character jump while letting "A" for another character be the attack macro.
If I recall correctly, Forum_account uses his keyboard library alongside the sidescroller.

Check this library: http://www.byond.com/developer/Forum_account/Keyboard
You probably are already using it.

It should be possible to add/change macros or have different macros for different characters.
the keyboard library is included in my project and all the directional keys work. but the main one that i cant figure out is the jump one. I could make a jump verb for each of my characters but i dont know how. could anyone show me an example of what a jump verb should be like? or link me to somewhere that has it other than sidescroller.
Apparently it doesn't use the keyboard library.

If you want to change the jump verb key you can just do:
mob/verb/change_jump_macro(key as text)
controls.jump = key // assigns jump macro to a certain key


By default, controls.jump is assigned to "space" by the library but it can be any other key.

For example, if we want to have one person with attack verb on "A" and another with jump verb on "A", we'd assign a normal macro for one of them and set controls.jump for the other.
i checked the keyboard library and it does say it defaults to space but jumping wont work for some reason. and i checked the macros on the interface and space isnt one of them, would i need to add it there and make the verb jump? or is it already established with the keyboard library?
It's done at keyboard.dm and movement.dm in sidescroller.

Sidescroller does not use the keyboard library.

You won't need to add a macro for jump at the interface just set controls.jump to the key you want.
I tried it using ur format but it doesnt work. instead it creates an ingame command that says "change jump macro".
My format was an example, a verb.

You can just put that line on Login() or client/New() or wherever you want:
controls.jump = "A" // or client.controls.jump

Of course it doesn't have to be "A", it can be any key.
i did it like this:
mob
Login()
world<<"[src] has Logged In"
controls.jump = "X"

and i dont get any errors or anything, but it still wont jump :/ .
Try small x
mob
Login()
world<<"[src] has Logged In"
controls.jump = "x"
doesnt work :/ i'm always having errors with macros. for some reason even a simple attack macro wont work for me. heres the attack verb, could u just help me make an attack one and then id work from there? i already an attack macro to the macro list in my interface but it still wont work for somereason.

heres the verb if it will help :

Attack()
flick("Attack",src)
for(var/mob/character/m in get_step(src, dir))
world << m
var/Damage=max(0,src.Str-m.Def)
view(m)<<"[src] hit [m] for [Damage] Damage!"
m.Deathcheck()
Use DM tags.

// for this to work, simply put <dm> above your code
// then space it where you want it
// and then place <dm> below your code (with a / infront of the d in <dm>


And boom, it's so much easier to read.
        Attack()
flick("Attack",src)
for(var/mob/character/m in get_step(src, dir))
world << m
var/Damage=max(0,src.Str-m.Def)
view(m)<<"[src] hit [m] for [Damage] Damage!"
m.Deathcheck()
Whenever you say you get errors, it is best to say what errors you get for us to narrow down the problem. There are countless possible errors. Copy-pasting the error message helps a lot. Please keep this in mind.
forgive me for that, i used the wrong word there. i dont get any errors, the macros just dont work.
