What's wrong with this?:

for(var/atom/M in get_step(src,src.dir))
    world << "[M]"

In a verb, it returns nothing.

thanks in advance.

What are you trying to get it to do?

Well, check all the atoms in a space directly before a player.

Before? Get_Step I believe does it infront of the player.

Before, infront, same difference, it should still return values of M to the world, that was what was confusing me.

Apologies for woolly wording.

About your problem though, get_step returns a turf and a turf will have only atom/movable in it. The code should output for you any objects of type /mob or /obj that are standing directly in front of you, nothing else.

How would I get it to just store a turf found with get_step in a variable, say: var/turf/G ?

Thanks in advance.

P.s: I stand before you and apologise for saying "Same Difference"
I stand in front of you and apologise for saying "Same Difference."

I'm wrong, oh so wrong :(
