Code:
area
    deleter
        Entered(mob/M)
            del M
    maker
        New()
            spawn for()
                sleep(20)
                new/mob/enemy in (src.loc)


Problem description:
I am trying to make it so enemies spawn in this area (maker) deleter works fine. nothing really happens in the maker area

wouldnt the 'deleter' delete you,such as a boot does?

Well, assuming that you've got monsters as a separate path type from the other mobs, use typesof() to check is M is a monster.

You're not creating the enemy correctly. It should be like this:

new mob/enemy(src)


But that might not be right either: that will create the enemy in the lowest-left available turf of the area.

THANK YOU GARTHOR it works in one swuare but when i put more then 1 of the "areas" down they dont work only the first one :P figures. any1 know how i could get all of them to work?? and the exact code for the /mob/enemy only deleter.

Best solution would be to make it an obj, instead of an area. Then, you'd have to change the creation to new(src.loc) instead of new(src).

It could work, but it'd be more trouble than it's worth. An no, that's not what areas are for. Areas are for when you need... areas. Not spawn points.
