mob
   verb
       CreateTurf()
            var/turf/myturf/T = new //creates a variable T for the turf myturf(obviously change myturf to whatever your turf is
            T.loc = locate(x,y,z)//IF u want the turf created at a particular location then change x y z to co-ordinates u need it at
            sleep(100)//after 10 secs
            del T //delete myturf(the variable T)


That code creates a turf at a particular location and then 10 secs later, it deletes it. Ofcourse you dont wan't that excatly so change it to match ur needs.

You do realize that there can only be one turf per x,y,z location, right? Any other turfs you place ontop of another is actually added to the underlying turf(s) overlays or underlays.

Yes i do but that was just an example to show how to use our new turf to put it somewhere. All he really needed was

verb
    CreateTurf()
        var /turf/myturf/T = new
        del T


Just thought i'd help a bit more

You'd need to create new variables like

verb
    CreateTurf()
        var/turf/myturf/T = new
        var/turf/myturf/M = new
        var/turf/myturf/N = new


atleast thats how i do it, i'm almost certain there are better ways more experienced coders will let you know.
