Hi ppls long time no see, been working on school lately so i havent been able to code.

any ways, i was wondering how I would go about checking for a specific obj in a turf whenever a mob moves. I know I should know how to do this by now, but like i said, i havent touch BYOND in a while.
thanks

Like this?
turf/Entered(mob/M)
    for(atom/A in oview(0)
        if(istype(A, /obj/theObj))
            ...
        else
            ...

turf/Entered()
  var/obj/whatever/o = locate() in src
  if(o) do_whatever(o)
  ..()


Better.

ok, thank you both for your help, though I have run into a new issue. I took what you gave me and made a code, it worked, but had a bug in it that i had to fix. so I morphed it into a move proc and got this, but the screen is black when it starts up. any ideas?

mob
    icon = 'ppl.dmi'
    proc/Fall()
        sleep(6)
        if(src.jmping == 0)
            src.loc = locate(x,y-1,z)

mob/Move(mob/m as mob)
    var/obj/grass/o = locate() in oview(0)
    if(o)

    else
        src.Fall(src)

thanks again

            sleep(6)
            if(!src.jmping)
                src.loc = locate(src.x,src.y-1,src.z)
 
mob/Move()
    ..()
    var/obj/grass/o = locate() in oview(0)
    if(!o)
        src.Fall()


Better. You forgot the ..() which is why the screen was blank. Also fixed up a bit more. You can see using if(!o) is better then using if(o) then an else if you have nothing to do if o is there.

You might also want to use step(src,SOUTH) instead of the loc = locate() statement. If somebody already at the bottom of the map "falls", they will fall into a null location since their y will be 0.

Always remember to fit the ..() procedure into built-in procs in any case where it should work as usual. ..() means "do what usually happens".
