How could I make something where you press a verb and a house apears around and under you, Like the turfs for the house automaticly go around you, but if one of the area's one of the turf's goes on is dense then you cant place the house there?????

No no one will help... Why you ask? You made an illegal bump and you just asked for the code to be handed to you without ever trying anything yourself. Fix those and help may come your way.

Ok, so he bumped a little early, but he had a good question, and did not do it in a rude way. He asked how he could do it, not if someone would make it for him. Please pay attention to someones wording.

What the heck are you talkin about how is this bumb illegal? It was on the seocond page, if its been 24 hours of if its on the second page you can bump! And who are you to tell me I havent tried this before!?

Technically it was an "illegal" bump - it was 21.5 hours, rather than 24 hours. But being that picky is just silly.

Just ignore him!

Yeah I know, but wasnt it legal because it was on the second page?

It's generally accepted that it has to be 24 hours AND on the second page, I believe.

OK. I'm not gonna hand you all the turfy bits, but I'll give you the checking the turfs bit.
for(var/turf/a as turf in block(insert measurements for house here))
    if(a.density)
       src << "The house will not fit!"
       break

I think that works... I don't use block.

Well actualy its not working...This is the coding im using:
        for(var/turf/a as turf in block(3,4))
            if(a.density == 1)
                src << "The house will not fit!"
                return
        for(var/obj/a as obj in block(3,4))
            if(a.density == 1)
                src << "The house will not fit!"
                return

Look up the arguments for block().

Ok well this is what I have, doesnt seem to be working either:
        for(var/turf/a as turf in block(locate(usr.x+1,usr.y+3,usr.z),locate(usr.x-1,usr.y+3,usr.z)))
            if(a.density == 1)
                src << "The house will not fit!"
                return
        for(var/obj/a as obj in block(locate(usr.x+1,usr.y+3,usr.z),locate(usr.x-1,usr.y+3,usr.z)))
            if(a.density == 1)
                src << "The house will not fit!"
                return


Anyone know whats wrong with it and how I could fix it? Thanks!

You tell me. =P What about it isn't working?

(Make sure that usr is the best thing to use here; depending on where that code is, src might be better.)

I changed it to src and it still doesnt work. Whats its not doing is if there is something with a density of 1 it will build on top of it, im trying to make it so you cant build over dense objects and it says "The house will not fit". If block() isnt what im supposed to use to do this what do I use?

block() returns a list of TURFS, not objs. Even so, a much more effective method would be to use the Enter() proc, assuming that src will always be dense, of course. Also, no need for the "as turf" part.

for(var/turf/t in block(...))
if(!src.Enter(t))
return

Illegal bump? Are there rules about saying "Please Help Me!" before a certain time is up?

Yes, the moderators will delete bumps that don't appear to be legitimate -- that is, without sufficient time having passed or other reasons that the message might get overlooked.

Various people might have various interpretations of what is reasonable; mostly it's a case-by-case basis, and mostly it's to discourage people who bump within minutes of posting, or do multiple bumps in a row.

Thanks, but it only worked once and now ti wont work...Here's what I have:
        for(var/turf/a in block(locate(src.x+1,src.y+3,src.z),locate(src.x-1,src.y+3,src.z)))
            if(a.density == 1)
                src << "The house will not fit!"
                return
        for(var/obj/a in block(locate(src.x+1,src.y+3,src.z),locate(src.x-1,src.y+3,src.z)))
            if(a.density == 1)
                src << "The house will not fit!"
                return


Any idea whats wrong? Sorry Im having so many problems :(. Thanks for all your help!

Edit: I just figured out it only checks for things that are dense in the area around the block. So if the dense thing is in the inside it wont detect it. Any idea how to make it so it checks both the inside and the area around?

Gah I found another Little error. Im trying to make it so that the Doors Lisencer eqauals the owner's Lisenced, but its not working...Here's my coding: 
mob/var/list/Lisenced = list()
obj
    house
        var/lastx
        var/lasty
        var/lastz
        Door
            var/list/Lisencer = list()
                           var/owner
            density = 1
            icon = 'Turfs.dmi'
            icon_state = "Door"
            verb
                Lisence()
                    var/lisencing = input("Enter the name of the person you would like to lisence.","Lisence")
                    usr.Lisenced += lisencing
                Open()
                    set src in oview(1)
                    set category = "Door"
                    Lisencer = owner.Lisenced   
                    if(owner == usr || Lisencer.Find(usr))
                        src.icon_state = "Door_Open"
                        density = 0
                Close()
                    set src in oview(1)
                    set category = "Door"
                    Lisencer = owner.Lisenced   
                    if(owner == usr || Lisencer.Find(usr))
                        if(src.icon_state == "Door_Open")
                            src.icon_state = "Door"
                            density = 1
            New()
                usr.verbs += /obj/house/Door/verb/Lisence
                owner = usr

And the error is:
Main.dm:92:error:owner.Lisenced:undefined var
Main.dm:99:error:owner.Lisenced:undefined var

But that var is defined! Im so confused. Do you know whats wrong? If so pelase tell me and mayeb tell me how I can fix it. Thanks! (Oh and this isnt a bump cause my post was already at the top.)
