XD There's always reboot!

Uh let's see... I don't know of any ways that aren't really laggy, since all I can think of it using something like:

// This should work if you haven't turned off a defualt turf
for(z=1,z<=world.maxz,z++)
   for(y=1,y<=world.maxy,y++)
      for(x=1,x<=world.maxx,x++)
         var/turf/t = locate(x,y,z)  // Gets the turf at that location
         t = initial(t)  // Reset t to its original value


There's also another way that I'm sure would work... but you could also try a much simpler

for(var/turf/t in world)
   t = initial(t)  // Pretty obvious given the above


I'm not sure if that one will work though, I haven't been playing with turfs all that much until recently, and I haven't really tested anything yet...

Wrong. <code>initial()</code> only will work on variables, not actual objects.

A solution would be to save the map using a library like SwapMaps, then load it whenever you want the map to be regenerated to its initial state.

Oh you're right of course... I should have added a loop the initialises all of its variables instead, but it's the same thing

Try what Unknown Person suggested, and look up the SwapMaps library. I dunno what it does but it sounds like something worth trying...

I did try it, it saves the map so when you log in back the objs be there, but i edit it so it saves the map as soon as you log in so when you repop i load the world too.

But it's still too lagggg for me
