I have a problem. There! it was so hard to get that off my chest. i coded this, and when i compiled this:

turf
Eidenburg
icon = 'Eidenburg.dmi'
Entered(Mob/M)
mob.loc = locate(1,7,1)

i got this:

loading Tales of Chaos.dme
Turf.dm:109:error:mob.loc:bad var
Turf.dm:114:error:mob.loc:bad var

Tales of Chaos.dmb - 2 errors, 0 warnings (double-click on an error to jump to it)

now im trying to make it so it teleports you when you step on the 'Eidenburg' tile. whats up wit that?

You never defined what "mob" was. Entered(Mob/M) tells it that when a mob is passed into the Entered() proc (the mob being referenced to by M) do this.

So what should you change mob to? Il let you figure it out.

Also Note - Anything belonging to an if(), proc() or anything of the sort must be indented correctly under it hint hint

okokokok.. i STILL get the same thing.
turf
Eidenburg
icon = 'Eidenburg.dmi'
Entered(Mob/M)
m.loc = locate(1,7,1)

loading Tales of Chaos.dme
Turf.dm:109:error:m.loc:bad var
Turf.dm:114:error:m.loc:bad var

Tales of Chaos.dmb - 2 errors, 0 warnings (double-click on an error to jump to it)

ok i also have another one there, with the same code i just didnt through it in but it goes like this
turf
sand
icon = 'sand.dmi'
Entered(Mob/M)
m.loc = locate(26,25,2)
but that is irrelevant.

Anyway, i was told to refer to mob as M because thats what its telling the game to. But it still dosent work. Please help with this.

turf
sand
icon = 'sand.dmi'
Entered(Mob/M)
m.loc = locate(26,25,2)

Pay special attention to notice that in code, everything must be EXACT.

notice, you defined mob as M, then you refered to m.loc. What's wrong with that? M does not equal m. M and m are completely different things, but in this case M has been defined while m has not.

Also, as Alathon said, anything after a proc (anything ending with ()'s) needs to be indented.

Entered(mob/M)
M.loc = locate(#,#,#)

You're not defining m you're defining M..get my point?

Yeah... Just to put it into the simplest terms... These things are case-sensitive... So if one M is upper case... the other one has to be as well... Or vice versa if you prefer lower case...

Just you are being really annoying, I'll give you the freaking code:


turf/warp
    icon='something.dmi'
    Enter(mob/M)
        ..()
        M.loc=locate(x,y,z)
