does anyone know how to make a turf is invisible and when you step on it it takes a verb away?

turf
Entered(mob/M)
M << "Whoamg Invis"
src.invisibility = 101

:)
That should work.

Let's say you wanted to take an Attack verb away from the unfortunate stepper.
turf/Trap
    Entered(mob/M)
        M.verbs-=/mob/verb/Attack/
        M << "Your foot gets stuck in a [src] and you lose the ability to attack!"


Now, let's look at this line by line for comprehension. First, we'll need to define a turf and name it something, how about, "Trap"?
turf/Trap

Now, you'll notice that I didn't define an icon. This is because when a turf has no icon, it's automatically invisible.

Now, we need something to happen when the player steps on the turf, so, of course, there's nothing better to use than turf/Entered(. Since, obviously, a mob is going to be entering the turf, we'll type cast to a mob.
    Entered(mob/M)


Now, we need to take away the Attack verb, so
        M.verbs-=/mob/verb/Attack/


Finally, we should inform the player that attack's been taken from him to avoid unnecessary confusion:
        M << "Your foot gets stuck in a [src] and you lose the ability to attack!"


Now, you'll notice that in Entered(), I used mob/M instead of just plain src. Why? Because since Entered() 'belongs' to the turf, src, the source, would be equal to turf/Trap! Therefore, the final line outputs:
"Your foot gets stuck in a trap and you lose the ability to attack!"

you could always use Safe Zones


so when they enter you can make a safe = 1 var and then in your attack code if safe = 1 they cant attack

Dranzer, you replied to the wrong post. In other words, YOU posted that completely out of context, not to mention that your particular method is harder anyway (Using your method, he'd have to modify his fighting verb(s), modify his tiles, AND every time he wanted to make a new tile for the gym, he'd have to worry about an extra thing).

Look, that type of arrogant, "I'm better than you" flaming on the forums is bad enough, but when you're replying to the wrong post anyway...

XD, that site is so easy to not get pop-up'D by.

You could've done something better.
That's just immature, and also...


Hmm, so... I dont use periods, commas, et cetera. So, maybe you should shut your trap.

Wouldn't it hurt just to take about 1 minute to fix up your grammar?

That isn't relevant because he never mentioned attacking or training. He doesn't want to prevent people from attacking/doing something in a certain place, he wants to remove a verb.

There can be several uses for it, one thats completely nothing to do with your post is that when you complete a certain quest, the turf removes a quest related verb instead of disabling it.

And if you weren't making it for the topic maker's purpose, the post is irrelevant and no one asked for a temporary disable code.

I just can't see where you added attacking/training in to the equation. You say "SO there for instead of taking the verb away all he has to do is make a safe zone" but if he wants to remove the verb why are you preventing the player from using the verb, HE WANTS TO GET RID OF IT.

turf
     Thing
          Enter(atom/movable/A)
               if(ismob(A))
                   var/mob/M
                   M.verbs -= /mob/verb/CompleteQuest


That should work topic maker.

As for invisibility, you could either give it no icon or if you want to control invisibility, read what Hell Ramen posted.

Yet, my theory would make the thing unusable, basically deleted.
So, don't mind my post. =/
