I am wanting to start working on a game, but I have one problem that I don't know how to fix, I want to be able to move up a z level but clicking on something that says raise or lower.

I am wanting to make a kind of Skies of Arcadia Legends game.

If you mean a thing that asks you if you want to go higher or lower then try this
mob/proc/Teleport()
    switch(alert("Stuff you want to say above the buttons","Title of prompt","Raise","Lower","Cancel (Just in case)"))
        if("Raise") loc=locate(x,y,z+1)
        if("Lower") loc=locate(x,y,z-1)
        if("Cancel") return

that may not be the best way but i'm not going to refine it that much

world
    maxz=5 // change that to the amount of z levels in your map.
obj
    change_z_level
        icon='icon.dmi'
        Click()
            if(alert("Higher or lower your Z level?","Z level","Higher","Lower")=="higher") // if the players choses to higher the Z level.
                if(usr.z==world.maxz) // If the user's current Z is the highest Z level.
                    usr<<"Error! You already are on the highest Z level!"
                    return
                else src.z+=1 // Otherwise higher the Z level by 1
            else
                // You can't get too lazy, now, can you?
                // This is up to you, plainly giving code to you will
                // only result into laziness on your side, so do this
                // part yourself. =)

And what if the user is on the highest Z level, and decides to higher his Z level again? Or the opposite, being on the lowest Z level and lowering the Z level? Always make it as secure as you can.

Alright, thank you both, this will help me get ready for the game.

But if I want to change it to an area, do I just switch out the icon with area? (I probly have to do some other things to it but I want to find that out)

What is the use of supplying code of which you're not even sure it is proper code? If you're unsure, then don't try. I cannot state it any simplier.

if people are going to ask a question...then I'm going to supply them with an example that i will not work on like a game...they need to learn that they have to catch those bugs themselves...

plus i was trying to get the fact that you could use switch(alert()) as a prompt

You trying to teach a lion to not-hunt before sending him into the jungle, let me state it that way.
