ok thanks Rcet. but it doesn't give me the verb when i walk into the area i'll try to fix that though. i also have a question. How do i make it so a list pops up and when u click the idem in the list it creates the new turf. this is what i have so far...

mob
special //so mobs don't already have it
verb
Build()
switch(input("What do u want to build?","Build")in list("Wall","Punching Bag","Bed", "Wood Floor", "JukeBox", "Beer Can", "Table", "TV"))
if("Wall")

what do i put do it creates the new wall turf?

its best to do something like this:
Build(B as null|anything in typesof(/obj,/turf))
 new/B (usr.loc)


Im pretty sure that would work.

Let me know

No no, like this:
mob
  special //so mobs don't already have it
    verb
     Build(B as null|anything in typesof(/obj,/turf))
      set category = "Build"
      new B(usr.loc)


Really, you should know this.

You should also know that that won't work. You can't provide just any list to restrict a verb's arguments like that so far as I know; only certain lists will work.

Also, new/B is wrong because it says "I want to create a new /B datum" instead of "I want to create a new datum of the type specified in the var B". The slash shouldn't be there.
