Code:
obj
    entryway1
        density = 1
mob
    Bump(obj/entryway1/E)
        if(usr.team == "King")
            density = 0
            usr<<"enter fast"
            sleep(20)
            density = 1
        else
            usr<<"death"
            usr.hp -= 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

well for starters what are you trying to do?...

And instead of subtracting absurd amounts of usr.hp just run the death proc or set their hp to 0 or something more reasonable.


edit: ... are you trying to make them move into the area? If so you can use the Step() proc I believe... What you're doing will just send them a message O_o.

turf
    Supplemental
        PlayerBlock
            density=1
            Enter(mob/M)    //this gets ran when somebody tries to enter this location
                if(usr.Team==1) //or 2 if other team
                    if(usr.Team==2)) // the team that can't enter
                        return 1 //don't change this

although someone else will be able to explain this more correctly:

just because "obj/entryway1/E" is the arg doesn't mean that when you bump something it's going to check and make sure that it's an obj/entryway1/E. you'll have to do your own check (look up istype in the reference) to make sure that the action only occurs when they bump the entryway

There isn't, and it's abusing usr. What it should look like is this:

turf //or area
  team_blocker
    var/team
    Enter(var/mob/M)
      //only care about mobs
      if(ismob(M))
        if(M.team == src.team)
          //allow entry
          return ..()
        else
          //do not allow entry
          return 0
      else
        //allow entry for non-mobs
        return ..()

Glad to see it worked

It does not work at all, Karnaji, and I would request that until you are able to provide working code you stop attempting to help people, and instead focus on teaching yourself.

Off topic but... apparently it did work if he thanked me and based it off what I told him..

Just because he thanked you doesn't mean it works. I can say with absolute certainty that what you posted will, in every case, prevent entry. Though in some cases it will generate an error AND prevent entry. Just because he didn't bother to test it doesn't mean it works.

Here's the code:
turf/supplies
    entryway1
        density = 1
        Enter(mob/M)
            if(usr.team=="King")
                if(usr.team=="Wizard")
                    M.hp = 0
                    return 1


Let me explain to you why this does not work at all, ever.

Say we have a variable, and this variable's name is x. Now, x is equal to "King" at this particular time. How, in any form of logic, can x also equal "Wizard"?

Here's the code in English:
  1. For /turf/supplies/entryway1:
    1. When something tries to enter:
      1. Assume that it is a mob (even though objs enter things too)
      2. Assume that it is a player (by using usr), even though AI controlled characters can move as well
      3. If the player's mob's team variable equals "King":
        1. If the player's mob's team variable equals "Wizard":
          1. Set the entering mob's hp variable to 0.
          2. Allow entry
Again, team cannot equal both "King" and "Wizard" at the same time. So no, it does not work. And where did this logic originate?

Thanks for that.

You could just use a proc to check if its the right castle, and if it is, let them in.
