I've already got monsters in my game,but I was wondering is there anyway to prevent monsters from going on specific tiles,but still allow people to move around on that tile.I tried some of the monster demos but none of them had anything like that on it.Could anyone help me out?

Hey, I am a little rusty... Haven't been on for a few weeks, but I think what you are looking for here is Enter().

A little something like this

turf
  grass
    Enter(var/mob/M)
      if(ismob(M)&&M.client)//Checks if it's a mob and is a player(client)
        ..()//Let's em pass
      return

Somewhat right, except you need to return 0 under an else statement.

Still wrong. In every case it'd return false.
turf
  grass
    Enter(var/mob/M)
      if(ismob(M)&&M.client)//Checks if it's a mob and is a player(client)
        return ..()//Let's em pass
      return FALSE


..() will return the default action for this situation, and that's what you want to return when the enteree is a player. Then you'll want to return false if it's anything else.

Thanks for your help guys,code works great.

All I need now is another code like this but does the opposite,so players cannot pass but the monsters can.

turf    
    badgrass 
        Enter(var/mob/M)
            if(ismob(M) && !M.client)//Checks if it's a mob and isn't a player(client)
                return ..()//Let's em pass
            else
                return FALSE

I mean a code exaclty the same as that BUT it allows mobs to pass and not the client.

thats what it does, the !M.client, means no client

the ! is the not operator

Ah sorry,I was kinda tired and missed the alteration to the code.
