YOU should search next time then.

area/Spawns
     var/TAG //you can only set the tag variable in the map editor or at runtime.

     New() //when a /area/Spawns is created
          ..() //do the default action
          tag = TAG //set the area's tag to it's TAG variable

     Race1
         TAG = "Race1"

mob/var/race = "Race1"

mob/verb/Go_To_Spawn()
     loc = locate(race) //look up the locate proc. In this case we would be locating a tag.


This can also be handled with turfs, which I highly recommend doing. I just did this as an example for you to learn from, not to copy and paste!

It's better to use tags, because if you ever change your map, things can get messed up that way.

Whatever you want. I told you to look up the locate proc. I suggest looking up the tag variable, too.

There's not much point in setting a tag at compile-time because you can just use locate(Type) instead (same for what you've worked around).

I ment it as more of a turf based system that could be integrated into his map. I saw a post on propaganda about him being a ripper, so I wanted to give him something to alter, not copy and paste.

I do see your point though, I shouldn't have really done that.
