Will those procs ever begin to work for OBJs? Because I REALLY need that because I don't like areas for that because they get in the way because in my game, the areas can be deleted, but they are always deleted all at once, regardless.

Here's a workaround:

turf
    Entered(mob/M)
        if(ismob(M))
            for(var/obj/O in src.contents)//loop over all objects on the turf
                if(istype(O,/obj/someobj))
                    M << "There's \an [O] on [src]!"
                    break

I don't quite understand the complaint. As far as I know, these procs work for all /atom types, eg:
obj/Entered()
  usr << "Entered [src]!"

mob/verb/moveobj()
  var/obj/O = new(usr.loc)
  Move(O) // will output "Entered obj!"

Hmm...This didn't really work for my Bullies and Nerds game..

obj/splatter
name = "Lunch Splatter"
icon = 'turfs.dmi'
icon_state = "Splatter"
Entered(mob/M)
if(ismob(M))



Then the procedures for what it's supposed to do..But nothing happened.

Is the mob moving onto the object, or into the object? Entered() will only be called when mob.loc == obj, after the movement. Your mobs are probably sitting on turfs, in which case Nadrew's workaround should suffice. But if your mobs are actually going into the objs and Entered() is not being called, something is fishy.

The only time obj/Enter\ed() is called is when the mob is directly Move()ed onto the obj, any other time the turf inwhich the obj is contained's Enter\ed() proc is called, and the obj's Enter\ed() proc remains uncalled.

Are you using Move()? I believe if you set loc directly, Enter() is not called. Not sure on the behavior for Entered() though. This is spelled out in the reference for Exited(), but not for the other two.
