How do you make an area, turf, or obj that only people with a certain var can cross, with it being in the same Z and being able to be reached by everyone, but not be passed by everyone.

For turfs and areas:

Use Enter()

Look up Enter(), Entered(), Exit(), and Exited()...

Note on areas: Once you successfully enter one and do not exit, if the variable that allows/disallows access changes, you can still move around that area. (assuming the area you want to use will take up multiple tiles)Once you exit though, the variable will be checked again.


For objs:

Use mob/Bump()

Have the var checkerand step operation there.

You, my fellow BYONDian, want Enter().

Now, Enter(), along with other movement procs need something VERY important: SAFETY CHECK!!! If you put mob/M or somehting similar in the argument [Enter(mob/M)], it will NOT LOOK FOR THAT PATH... meaning it will classify even an obj as M, so use ismob()/istype()/etc. Oh, and IT MUST NEVER use 'usr'!!

I tried it, but I can still go through it even with the certain var.

turf/Mirror/Enter(mob/person/M)  //This will NOT look for mob/person
  if(!ismob(M)) del M  //if it is not a mob, it is deleted (it = object trying to enter)

  if(!istype(M)) return  //If it is not mob/person, it stops M from entering
  if(!M.Mirror_Breaker) return 0  //If the person does not have that value set as TRUE, it won't let M enter.
  return 1  //allows all else to enter

turf/ANBLOCKER/Enter(mob/M)  //This will NOT look for mob/person
  if(!istype(M)) return  //If it is not mob/person, it stops M from entering
  if(M.HBequipped==1) return 0  //If the person does not have that value set as TRUE, it won't let M enter.
  return 1  //allows all else to enter

  if(!istype(M)) return 0  //If it is not mob/person, it stops M from entering
  if(!M.HBequipped) return 0  //This check was the wrong way around
  return ..()  //Return 1 will let people walk through other people on that tile. ..() means 'do the default procedure stuff'

You do realize that you only waited 2 hours and that everyone is not always online and have lives in which they need to attend.

EDIT: I know that it's setting the var right for the mob.

Bob, you have it completely in reverse... -.-
Dec 6 2006, 2:26 pm
In response to Super Mario Productions
So you want H.Bequipped to be false?

area/ANBLOCKER/Enter(mob/M)
    if(ismob(M))
        if(!M.HBequipped)
            return 0
        else
            return 1

No no no no no! return 0 and return ..()!

You don't want people being able to walk over anything on that space!
