Pardon me while I lose my mind.

I have been trying to get this same stinking piece of code to work for three days!! It works fine in about 90% of situations, but I just can't get that last 10%. Conciously, I know I should just skip it for a while and go on and do something else, but it is just always in the back of my mind while I try, and I keep coming back to it.

Sigh...

I will beat it, one way or another

That's the point when I think I at least if not anyone else would go off and start a little side project on some strange idea and by the time if ever that I'm done with the side project, I usually have some brilliant reason in my mind why it doesn't work. And if I don't there's always the newbie board because I don't care how dumb people think I am :o)

Well, the funny thing is, this whole project started because I couldn't get another project to work in a way I liked. The new mouse procs will help with that a lot, so maybe I'll go back to that one

Who says there's anything wrong with starting side projects while working on your side projects?

Actually, I think you're very smart, and I've always felt it was admirable that you post so many coding questions on the newbie board while so many people who are -clearly- newbies asking -very- basic, general questions post them in Code Problems. I always hope one or more of them would follow your example and discover the newbie board.

Yeah but you probably get darn good at it!

I figured it out!!!!

I was calling mob.Move() from a turf entered() proc, and I guess it calls the Move from the turf before the first Move was finished, so both moves were starting from the same starting loc, though the second needed to start from the turf calling Move(). Though the mob wound up in the right place, its lighting was not getting moved properly.

I realize this probably makes no sense, but I'm quite happy about it anyway :)
