Blackscreening while locating to /area.

Code:
mob/proc/teleport(A as text)
    for(var/area/teleports/T in world)
        if(T.Tagto==A)
            world<<"<small>\red We have located a teleport for you.</small>"
            src.loc=locate(T.loc)
            return 1
    return 0


Problem description:
This blackscreenes me, I went on Converse last night and asked around and no one seemed to know the "correct" way to move to an area.

Anyone have any ideas?

(Sorry to clutter the forum with such a simple problem, brain dead right now.)

An area cannot be contained by something so T.loc is null. That's nowhere on the map. I assume a teleport area is one tile.
src.loc = locate(T.x,T.y,T.z)//relocate to the turf at the areas coordinates

Now when I step on the teleporter, it finds it (We have located a teleport for you.) yet nothing else happens.

area/teleports/
    var/Tagto
    var/Tag
    t1_01
        Tagto="t1_02"
    t1_02
        Tagto="t1_01"
    t1_03
        Tagto="t1_04"
    t1_04
        Tagto="t1_03"
    Entered(mob/player/M)
        ..()
        if(!M.teleport(Tagto))world.log<<"<B>Failed to teleport [M] to [Tagto].</B>"

What I gave you last night in wiz_chat worked fine, how'd you break it?

No it didn't, my Mom pulled the plug on me so I couldn't reply back to you saying it didn't work.
Mar 19 2006, 10:38 am
You can set the player's loc to the actual area, and the player will be located at the bottom-left most turf in the area's contents, so there is no need for locate().

Is this what you ment?
src.loc = T

(No working)

It worked fine in my tests.
mob
    proc
        Teleport(A as text)
            for(var/area/T)
                if(T.TagTo == A)
                    var/turf/teleport = locate() in T
                    src.loc = teleport


Works pretty good.

Doesn't work with me. I double checked to make sure nothing was getting the way of Move(), and nothing was.

For some reason it just isn't working with me.

            src.loc = locate(teleport.x+1,teleport.y,teleport.z)
            return 1
    return 0

Did I screw up on something?

I had it increase my x value just to make sure it wasn't double warping for some reason... And Now It Just Moves my X ONE over from where I stood.

Yo i use this teleport system only problem with it is that you have to make multipul turfs but i hope it helps

turf/Teleporter
    icon='teli.dmi'
    Entered(mob/M)
        if(istype(M,/mob))
            M.loc=locate(x,y,z)

That's not what i want.

I think it has to do something with how I named them.
Because..
area/teleports/
    icon='Turfs.dmi'
    icon_state="teleports"
    invisibility=101
    layer=500
    var/Tagto
    t1_01_pub
        Tagto="t1_02_pub"
        name="GRAVY"
    t1_02_pub
        Tagto="t1_01_pub"
    t1_03_pub
        Tagto="GRAVY"
    t1_04_pub
        Tagto="t1_03_pub"
    Entered(mob/player/M)
        ..()
        if(!M.teleport(src.Tagto))world.log<<"<B>Failed to teleport [M] to [Tagto].</B>"
mob/proc/teleport(A as text)
    for(var/area/teleports/T in world)
        if(A==T.name)
            world<<"<small>\red We have located a teleport for you.</small>"
            var/turf/teleport = locate() in T
            src.loc = locate(teleport.x+1,teleport.y,teleport.z)
            return 1
        return 0

Whenever I use the warp to goes to GRAVY, it works fine.
Could it have to do with the numbers and _ inside of the name?

All Caps? :) When you set a layer, you can do MOB_LAYER, so underscore is alright. I guess all caps or if not, then I dunno and now too lazy to look at code.
Mar 19 2006, 11:28 am
In response to SJRDOZER
No. But I was noticing how names with a-z (noncaps) presented as the ____. SO just to be safe, I capilized the first letters, but still nothing.

<DEBUG> Failed to teleport Flame Sage
from T1_02_pub to T1_01_pub.

The stupid things are THERE! How come the for() cannot seem to find them?!

Thank you for teaching me how to do teleports :D

Indeed you did. By default, an atom's name will be the type path (excluding whatever is before the last '/'), except that all of the underscores (_) are replaced with spaces. The way you are identifying the spaces is by looking at the area's name, but your comparisons have underscores in them. Therefore:

    t1_01_pub
        Tagto="t1_02_pub"


Should work as this:

    t1_01_pub
        Tagto="t1 02 pub"


I would much rather suggest you check for type paths, since that's one extra variable you don't have to keep track of (since it's unique).

    t1_01_pub
        Tagto=/area/teleports/t1_02_pub

My code worked just fine. When I teleported and said to tell me that I teleported to T.Name, it said T.Name with underscores.

Of course yours it did work, because I wasn't talking about the "Name" variable you defined yourself, but the default name variable that all atomic objects are predefined with.
