Problem description:
Well, I'm trying to make it so it will create a new instance of the object your dropping at your location, instead of just moving the object from your inventory onto the ground. I'm sure it's bad coding on my part, but can anyone help me with this? Here's the runtime error:
runtime error: Cannot create objects of type /Items/Large_Fish.
proc name: Drop (/Items/verb/Drop)
usr: {OWNER} Mikal (/mob/character)
src: Large Fish (/Items/Large_Fish)
call stack:
Large Fish (/Items/Large_Fish): Drop()
The error is coming from bad syntax:
new() is a proc, remember, so it'd actually be new src(usr.loc). But, that won't quite work either, because src is an object, not a type path. To create a new object of src's same type, you'd need this:
new type(usr.loc)But, all that said, you're far better off just using src.loc=usr.loc instead.
Also, your equipment system needs fixing, because the src.equipped var shouldn't even exist. It needs to be the mob's job to keep track of which items are in use.
