Code:
turf/generators
    knightgen
        New()
            ..()
            spawn()
                regen()
        proc
            regen()
                while(src)
                    make(10)
                    sleep(600)
            make()
                var/mob/knight/S = new(usr.loc)
                S<<"warning removal"


Problem description:
I KNOW THIS IS ABUSE OF THE USR.

I just cant figur out what to put instead(notice time i do not have 2 new topics right next to eachother they are 23 hours 21 minutes apart.
Goal
I'm trying to make a turf that generates aknight at its location.

This sounds like you want us to do the work for you. Firstly, why did you put make(10) when make() has no args? Why even make a proc anyways, its only two lines, and your probably not even going to use it again for this npc. Also, why is it turf/generators? Lastly, why did you do S<< that's telling a npc something, which makes no sense whatsoever.

its called generators because it is going to generate a knight a its position, this is incomplete code it DOES have args and they are edited by admins,S<< removes the warning i get from unused variable

I don't know if this is a good method, correct me if I'm wrong(anybody), but couldn't you use this line:
new /mob/knight/(src.loc)

maybe ill test and post results in edit



Edit: It works, kinof, it makes the npc but, puts it in first availible loc (1,1,1).hmmmmmmmmm how to fix that

I want to know one thing, how are the args "edited" by admins?

a global variable and a verb that lets you enter "FOCUS ON THE PROBLEM MY ADMINISTRATIVE PROGRAMING IS GOOD"

loc=locate(x,y,z)

What you are saying makes no sense. It is not possible in any way to add an argument to a proc at runtime.

Do you even know what an argument is?

No, damnit. That's wrong and I need to stop seeing that before I have an aneurysm. In this case, the issue is that since src is a turf, src.loc is an area. So, you'd just do new /blah(src) instead of new /blah(src.loc). Simple.

actualy if your talking to me yes and, i figured out how, thanks guys

turf/generators
    knightgen
        New()
            ..()
            spawn()
                regen()
        proc
            regen()
                while(src)
                    make(10)
                    sleep(600)
            make()
                new /mob/knight/(locate(x,y,z))

for fear of hacking admin editables removed

It still says make(10).

i know...IT HAS VARIABLES i just removed them in post

Replace the locate(x,y,z) with just "src". Seriously. I am literally sick of seeing locate(x,y,z).

And also possibly the depth-of-field in Mirror's Edge.

I'm positive your code has waaay more problems than then few you've posted about, so yelling at everyone isn't going to help much.

No, no, the problem is that he says he can change the args at runtime.
