Firstly, this is a Code Problems question (you should probably have posted the code). Don't move it now though, as a mod will get to it.

The location you specified doesn't exist. Here is an implementation that will work well.
turf
    //This is used to relocate and entering mob to the
    //specified tag. I'll describe the tag variable below.
    var/location_tag = null

    Entered(mob/m)
        //This searched for the turf in the world with the
        //tag variable you specified.
        var/turf/t = location_tag && locate(location_tag)

        if(t && istype(t))
            //If t exists and it's a turf, relocate the
            //mob there.
            m.loc = t

The tag variable is a var that is given to all atoms. You can use the locate() proc to find an /atom with a given tag. To set the tag, use the instance editor in Dream Maker's map editor. To do that, you right-click on an object and choose the "Edit Instance..." option.

You didn't do any of the following, did you:
  • Copy and paste the code and expect it to work.
  • Actually type the code, but failed to read anything else to figure out how the code actually works.
  • Failed to apply the tag to both the location you're transporting to and the location_tag variable.

well sorry. I am new at this.

Can you tell me which parts i edit?

None. Read the last line in my original post for instructions on how to use this code. An addendum: do the same thing for the locate_tag variable for the object you want to move from.

I have no clue what to do with that code. i cant understand what your talking about.

1) Type the code into a file in Dream Maker.
2) Compile. If there are no errors, than you're good.
3) Use the instance editor, which I told you about in the other post, to set it up the way you want.
4) Ta da! You're finished.

If you don't understand any of what I'm saying, then you need to read the DM Guide.

In truth, he'd need to read something more for complete beginners like Zilal's tutorials. :\

I did that and compiled and there are 3 errors.

turf.dm:2529: Inconsistent indentation
turf.dm:2530: Inconsistent indentation
turf.dm:2531: Inconsistent indentation

The ZBT's cover indentation. Read again, then.
Also, no matter the case anyway, after the ZBT's, on to the DM Guide, like Pop said. Read the article I linked to.

the code indents seem perfect

In response to Rayquaza1903
But it is not, because it is inconsistent, like the error says. To fix it, your best bet is to NOT copy code from the forums but write it on your own, or de-indent that whole block of code and re-indent it properly on your own.

i did that and no errors. so i went to the map editor and i right clicked on the turf thingy or whatever and it didnt have the edit instance option. It had New Instance, Find Instance on, generate instance from. icon-states, and generate instances from directions. now wat did i do wrong?

Do more experimenting and attempts before posting. Here, I'll make it foolproof for you.
1) You're supposed to click on an existing spot on the map itself.
2) At the bottom of the right-click context menu, you'll have all the atom types that are on that tile. Select the one of them that you wish to edit.
3)The additional menu will have options to Delete or Edit vars of that specific, individual object instance.
