Ok, call me an idiot, but this code is not working for me to summon the mob I have in my test-world:

summon(mob/M as mob in world)
M.loc = usr.loc

When I use it the mob disappears
Any help?

I'm not positive, but you shouldn't have mob/M as mob in world, since you already defined M when you did mob/M. It should probably just be mob/M in world.

Then maybe try using this if the one your using doesn't work. I can't really see what is wrong with yours.

M.x = src:x
M.y = src:y
M.z = src:z

summon(mob/M as mob in world)
   M.loc = locate(usr.loc)

That would set M.loc to null.

Could you show the entire relevant code snippet? That is, the entire definition back to the root of its source.

Try this summon verb
I use this in my GM summon code
mob/verb
    Summon (mob/M in world)
        set category = "Admin"
        M.x = src:x
        M.y = src:y-1
        M.z = src:z
        M << "You have been summoned"
        src << "You have summoned [M]"

I know it works, so post what u think of it.

Hmm... Your right, I assumed it was this way because the other just didn't work (while it should).

            Teleport_To_Me(mob/M as mob|obj in world)
                set name= "Summon"
                set category="GM"
                if(!checkadmin(usr))
                    usr.verbs-=/mob/admin/verb/Teleport_To_Me
                    return
                M.loc = usr.loc

That's the code from my game exactly and it works...

That would work aswell however you should not use : unless it is absolutely neccesary (and in this case it is not).

Works fine for me...

<code>mob/verb Summon(mob/M as mob in world) M.loc = usr.loc</code>

Sorry I didn't say so before, but I already figured it out. I was going thru the DM Guide and doing all the stuff they were doing and I already had a summon verb attached to a torch. That is what was messing it up. It's all fixed now, and thanks for the help!
