Problem with placing random turfs.

for(var/turf/T in world)
    var/randomization = rand(0,99)
    if(istype(T, /turf/floor/wood))
        if(randomization == 0)
               var/turf/trap/spike/G = new(T.loc)


This is the section of code where the problem occurs. When I run the verb in the game, I get this error:

runtime error: bad loc
proc name: Begin Game (/mob/verb/Begin_Game)
usr: MyName (/mob/player)
src: MyName (/mob/player)
call stack:
MyName (/mob/player): Begin Game()

...and I don't understand how to fix it. Thanks for any help in advance.

Heh,First of all your error is in the Begin Game verb.

It's the code that you quoted.

Did you fix it? If not post the verb.

mob
    verb
        Begin_Game()
            set category = "Actions"
            for(var/turf/T in world)
                var/randomization = rand(0,99)
                if(istype(T, /turf/floor/wood))
                    if(randomization == 0)
                        var/obj/trap/spike/G = new(T.loc)

I already did, but there you go again...

You aren't using new right I think....

You didn't put mob verb so I thought it was a proc =p oh well lets stop spamming forums shall we?

Don't know if that's it but that does look funky..Everything else looks fine though..

If your trying to make random turfs appear randomly, you need to do rand(1,world.maxx) rand(1,world.maxy) and save it in a variable, and then use the new(locate(var1,var2,T.z))

And if I only want it to appear on a certain type of turf?

The argument for new needs to be another turf. You specify a turf, and the new one takes its place. So you want new(T), not new(T.loc).

Also note that the new turf will take the place of the old one, not be made over top of it. Only one turf can be in any one tile. If you want the graphic for the old turf to stay, you will want to get a reference to its icon then add that icon to the new turf's underlays.
mob/verb/NewTurf()
    var/turf/T=loc
    var/icon/I=T.icon
    var/turf/different_turf/T2=new(T)
    T2.underlays+=I

That is how you would keep the graphic of the old one as an underlay of the new turf.
