I was Wondering if the user was able to block people off to it to them and so they can turn it on and off when they need so people cant it or teleport to them expect for gms of course can it to them either they have it on or off

How can i go about this since there is only more than 1 code for doing this

Well punctuation and grammar in your posts might help.

Secondly, not everyone knows what "it" is. *I* know you mean IT(Instant Translocation) but saying "it" just doesn't help.

As for your main(although debateable) problem, make a boolean variable(a variable that is only 1 or 0: 1 if true, 0 if false) to check if the person who you're teleporting to is allowing teleportation or not. Easily achievable through your best friend, if().

Oh k thanks so what lines of coding so i start to get this into play?

It would be like:
mob/verb/BLOCK_IT()
    block = 1
mob/verb/unblock_IT()
    block=0

mob/var
   block

obj/it/verb/it()
    if(block==1)
        usr<<"[M] has blockd it"
    else
        usr.loc=locate(Mx,My-1,Mz)
        usr<<"You IT to [M]"


It would go something like this. Just work it into your game. some how.
(Note: I have not tested this, indents ARE off. and I just thought of this form the top of my head!)

Here are the errors i got when i entered that code in

attack3.dm:10:error:block:undefined var
attack3.dm:11:error:M:undefined var
attack3.dm:13:error:Mx:undefined var
attack3.dm:13:error:My:undefined var
attack3.dm:13:error:Mz:undefined var
attack3.dm:14:error:M:undefined var

I put it as an example.

Something from the top of my head >_>

mob/var
   block=1
mob/verb/Toggle_Block_IT()
   if(src.block==0)
     src.block=1
     src<<"You are blocking IT."
   else
     src.block=0
     src<<"You are not blocking IT."

mob/verb/IT(mob/M)
    if(block==1)
        usr<<"[M] has blockd it"
    else
        usr.loc=locate(M.x,M.y-1,M.z)
        usr<<"You IT to [M]"

This should work. I myself like to use -1 and 1 for easy toggling (which only makes 1 verb rather than 2) and can be done with less lines than I've done here. :)

You shouldn't do if(variable==1) or if(variable==0) if that variable is boolean(which means that it can only ever be 1 or 0).

Instead do:

if(variable) (for the same effect of ==1) and if(!variable) (for the same effect of ==0).

Not the same affect, if(var) will do anything that's not null, and if(!var) will do anything that's null. :p
