Code:
if(locate(/turf/tilledsoil)in usr.loc)


Problem description: Right there, I'm trying to check if the usr is on the turf 'tilledsoil'. However, it keeps telling me I'm not on the soil. Does anyone know why?

Because your loc is a turf, and turfs cannot contain turfs.

Look up istype()

So...
var/turf/Z=locate(/turf/) in world
if(istype(Z,/turf/tilledsoil))
  if(Z.loc==usr.loc)

No. Why are you trying to complicate things? You have a variable pointing to the object you are interested in, use it.

I'm sorry for not knowing as much coding as you. Do I define the turf first, then check if the user is standing on it?

You use istype() to check the type of your loc.

What? As in:
istype(/turf/tilledsoil,loc)

?

Yes, but the arguments go in the other order.
