Hi. I am making an rpg and I am looking for a code which would allow players to teleport. Other players sees player teleport, then players see other player teleport back. Any help?

Use the Enter() proc. So if the player Enters the turf then he gets located to somewhere else. usr.loc=locate(1,1,1)

Yeah...usr in Enter is wrong. Sometimes, usr might not be who you think it is, especially in movement procs. Also, Enter is wrong here. Enter is more for permission to go in the turf, Entered is what happens when you enter it.

turf/teleport
   Entered(O)
      if(ismob(O))
         var/mob/P = O  // You typecast because O might not always be a mob.
         P.loc=locate(1,1,1)

If you check for it's being of a mob, you don't need to typecast. You've used ismob(O), so you should be fine. That is, unless of course, you need to alter mob-specific variables. Then by all means, typecast.

In Kalzar's example, he had to typecast because he didn't initially typecast the argument.

If he would have used Entered(atom/movable/O), instead of Entered(O), he wouldn't have needed the typecast.

Um.. yeah, okay. Anyway, I simply overlooked that part. Why he just didn't place atom/movable/O as the argument is just weird. It intrigues me.

Entered(), not Enter(). And don't suggest to a newbie that they use usr in a MOVEMENT proc. It's bad in most procs, it's AWFUL in a movement proc.

After you've just done ismob(o), it's quite safe to use the : operator to access mob-specific variables and procs. It saves a bit of space, and because you KNOW it's a mob, it's safe. Possibly a little encouraging of bad habits, but if you keep it under control it should be fine.

Jp, I thought the same thing a while back. Lummox obviously had other ideas. =/ See:

Ah.

Well, I didn't say it was good. Just that it was safe.

is there a code where the player can teleport freely, like walking but he is in teleport and can go over stuff ect? like clicks teleport, icon happens the player is disappeared , but he is in the same space, just invisible, then he can move about, but if there is an object in the way, he can teleport over it?

So you actually mean that he will be able to walk over objects/turfs that have dens?
