Problem description: well for my game I have a sort of Pacman-esque part. The problem is, in pacman when you walk over the yellow dots or whatever, they are automatically picked up. I don't have a clue as to how to do that in coding... I tried making a regular Get verb, but then you have to annoyingly macro or click the Get button on the screen to pick the item up. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Also, an alternative would be to use Bump(), or over-ride your Move() proc.

EX:
mob
   Move(Loc,Dir)
        var/obj/items/I=locate() in Loc
        if(I)
           src.Get(I)
   proc
       Get(obj/items/I)
           if(I)
               var/turf/T=I.loc
               for(var/obj/items/Item in T)
                   Item.Move(src)
