but not me! okay I have this...


area/start
icon = 'area.dmi'
icon_state = "start"

How do I make it so like the locate thing this is hard to ask... Like how do I make this so it actually does make you start on the point I put it at?

In the main Login() proc,
(probably in something like New_character.DM)
it should say something like this...

src.loc=locate([co-ordinates])

then just change [co-ordinates] to wherever you've place the object in the map. eg. src.loc=locate(81,73,5)

if its for a title screen, you may want to put these as well..

icon = null//so the usr can't see himself/herself on the screen, while the title screen is up.
move = 0//so the usr can walk around while the title screen is up.

You're telling him nothing he wants to know.

src.loc = locate(/turf/start) //or whatever you called the turf, I can't remember. but this will send him to the location of that turf :P.

move = 0 will not restric the players movement. You need to set it up. move is not a built in var.

Now that we're clear that move is not a built in var, let's create one. Except I like to use locked instead :P.
mob
      var/locked = 0

      Move()
            if(locked)
                  return 0
            else
                  ..()


Whenever you want to lock your player, use..
src.locked = 1
