Mecha, these are the kind of questions that YOU have to answer for yourself. We can't tell you how to make your game. We don't know how movement in your game works so we can't tell you how to stop chars. We don't know how death in your game works so we can't tell you how to kill chars. These are things you have to figure out on your own. That's why you learn to program, so you'll understand how to do it yourself. If you can't figure it out right now, leave it alone and do something else for a while.

    spike_trap
        icon = 'blah.dmi'
        Entered(mob/M)
            if(ismob(M))
                M <<"Ouch! Those spikes hurt!"
                //Perform death, or health drop
    net_trap
        icon = 'blah.dmi'
        layer = MOB_LAYER + 1
        Entered(mob/M)
            if(ismob(M))
                M <<"You struggle but are stuck in the net for awhile!"
                M.locked = 1
                sleep(20)
                M.locked = 0
                M <<"You break free!"

mob/var/locked = 0

mob.Move()
    if(locked == 1)
        return 0
    else
        ..()


Enjoy

Okay, I've got a test for you to run.
mob/verb/programmingtest()
     var/string="programmer"
     if(findtext(string,"copier")) world<<"Yes, you are correct, Mecha Destroyer JD."
     else world<<"It would seem as though you are incorrect, Mecha Destroyer JD."


Let me know how that works out for you.

lmao! programmers don't just tweak code, thats what n00b's do. Real programmers write there own code, I mean, were do you think all this stuff your "tweaking" comes from anyway? If there were no people coding, just tweaking, were would all the code that people tweak come from?
