1. How do I make enimes respawn in the same place 50 seconds after they are killed? Here is my prototype(non-working) code:
var/type = src.type
                    var/X = src.x
                    var/Y = src.y
                    var/Z = src.z
                    del(src)
                    sleep(50)
                    new type (locate(X, Y, Z))

Can anyone tell me why it's not working, and possibly an alternative?

Second: For teleport pads, should i make the teleport an area or a turf?

I'd use a proc for respawning,
then call the proc later.
I use world.Repop()

Second, I'd use a turf.
I don't think areas are allowed icons are they?
well, if you want your teleporter to be visible, I'd suggest using turf.

Ok thanks.. But would world.RePop() respawn the mob i'm using or everything?

In response to Neos300
it respawns everything.


you could always manually create the mob at it's location.
using sleep()
and then creating it on the map.

Actually I just posted a request for that code.

I think its..

//var defining
mob/var
 Q = 0

// the code
var/mob/Q=new/mob/(npcname)
Q.loc=(x,y,z)
