(See the best response by Magicsofa.)
Code:
mob
    verb
        replaythrow(mob/M in view(2))
            looping
            var/turf/replay/S = new/turf/replay
            S.loc = locate(M.x-1, M.y, M.z)


Problem description:reply.dm:8:error: S.loc: cannot change constant value

Turfs can't move. Sorry!

Your only choices are to either make a new turf at the desired location, or modify the turf that is already there.

EDIT: Hmm, I didn't even realize you were already creating another turf. Do it like this:

var/turf/replay/S = new/turf/replay(locate(M.x-1, M.y, M.z))
//it's not necessary to specify the type a second time...I would write it like this:
var/turf/replay/S = new (locate(M.x-1, M.y, M.z))

I hope you don't do this for every object you create. It tells you in the DM Reference what the "new" instruction does and how it is supposed to be used to set the initial location of whatever atom is being created. You read that when you learned about "new" in the Guide or the DM Reference, right?

I was trying to make it so when this verb is used, the turf gets placed where the other person is
Nov 24 2013, 11:29 am
no, it was only for this one verb

It says reply.dm:7:warning: S: variable defined but not used
 
                var/turf/replay/S = new (locate(M.x-1, M.y, M.z))

Then don't create a variable.

 
new/turf/replay/(locate(M.x-1, M.y, M.z))

hey just wanted to know, is it possible to make it a loop? like adding goto loop or osmthing
Nov 24 2013, 12:10 pm
like u see how it is looping, cant i just do 
 goto looping
Nov 24 2013, 12:10 pm
when i try that it says looping: invalid proc definition
Nov 24 2013, 12:36 pm
don't mess with goto...use something like while(src)

// heres how i imagine it.
mob/verb/Move_Turf () // replace the Name to what you desire.
    set category = "Turf"
    for (var/turf/T in range (2))
        follow // loop name
            sleep (10) // delays it so the server doesnt crash.
            walk (T,src) // makes the turf walk.
            goto follow
            // pretty simpilistic idk if this is exactly what your looking for , i hope this helps.
