I want to make a water splashing overlay appear when I step on a water turf, how would I go about doing this? I also want to create a reflection of the mob on the warer, if somebody could give me an example or a resource for that it would be very useful, and thanks!

Bump. What I am asking is how do I preform an action if I walk onto a turf, and I have an idea already of how I would do the reflection.

Another question. I tried to use a demo popisfizzy supplied to me for placing an object on a spot and it didn't work. Nothing happened. Here it is:

mob
    var/atom/to_place// The object to be placed is assigned
                        // here. Create it, but don't put it
                        // on the map.

    verb
        PlaceRedBall()
            // Create a red ball obj and assign it to the
            // variable, but, as I said above, don't assign
            // it to a location on the map.
            to_place = new /obj/red_ball
        PlaceBlueBall()
            // Same as above with a blue ball.
            to_place = new /obj/blue_ball
world
    view = 7
turf

    Click(mob/M)
        if(istype(M))
            if(usr.to_place)
                var/obj/red_ball/R = new(null, src)
                R.loc = locate(M.to_place)
    //  if(usr.to_place)
    //      to_place
    //      to_place.loc = locate(src.x, src.y, src.z)
            // If the usr who clicked is supposed to place
            // something, place it in this location.
        //  to_place.loc = src
    //  usr.to_place = src
        //  src.to_place = loc

    grass
        icon = 'grass.dmi'

obj
    red_ball
        icon = 'grass.dmi'
        icon_state = "red"
obj
    blue_ball

Look up Entered() and Exited() in the reference.

Probably because that's barely at all what my code was.

Ha...ha... I have no idea whether I deleted something or I didn't notice the edit 0_0.

Both, more-than-likely.

Error in

Has to be /atom/movable.
