First off I take no credit in making this I saw it in a source I had.
Code:
mob/var/ghostedmob = 0
mob/var/originalmob = 0
mob/var/switched = 0


mob/owner/verb/Body_Switch_Ghost_Thing(mob/M)
    if(M.client)
        if(usr.switched==0)
            var/mob/P = new(M.loc)
            P.density = 0
            var/temploc = usr.loc
            var/temploca = M.loc
            P.key = M.key
            M.key = usr.key
            M.switched = 1
            M.originalmob = usr
            M.ghostedmob = P
            walk_towards(P,M)
            M.loc = temploc
            P.loc = temploc
            P.client.eye = M.client.eye
            usr.loc = locate(temploca)
        else
            if(M != usr.originalmob) usr << "Back in your body first!!"
            if(M != usr.originalmob) return
            usr.switched=0
            var/temploc = usr.loc
            var/temploca = M.loc
            M.key = usr.key
            var/mob/P = usr.ghostedmob
            usr.key = P.key
            del(P)
            M.loc = temploc
            usr.loc = locate(temploca)
    else
        switch(input("WARNING: Doing this will cause your key to log out, and you cannot switch back! CONTINUE?")in list("Yes","No"))
            if("No")
                usr << "Ok good!"
            else
                if(usr.switched==0)
                    var/mob/P = new(M.loc)
                    P.density = 0
                    var/temploc = usr.loc
                    var/temploca = M.loc
                    P.key = M.key
                    M.key = usr.key
                    M.switched = 1
                    M.originalmob = usr
                    M.ghostedmob = P
                    walk_towards(P,M)
                    M.loc = temploc
                    usr.loc = locate(temploca)
                else
                    if(M != usr.originalmob) usr << "Back in your body first!!"
                    if(M != usr.originalmob) return
                    usr.switched=0
                    var/temploc = usr.loc
                    var/temploca = M.loc
                    M.key = usr.key
                    var/mob/P = usr.ghostedmob
                    usr.key = P.key
                    del(P)
                    M.loc = temploc
                    usr.loc = locate(temploca)


Problem description:The problem is well I dont know and all I know is that it logs you out when you use it.
But what it is suppose to do is let you control another mob and freeze the person your controling until you switch back to your body, and not allow the usr to do anything else such as use that mobs verbs and access its inventory.

First, you probably wouldn't know what it does because it's not yours.

Second, it's more efficient I believe to modify Move() for movement control.
mob
    var/controlled  //If mob is being controlled
    var/mob/control //Mob being controlled
    Move()
        if(control)control.loc=loc
        if(!controller)..()

Note: There may be a cleaner way.

First: I know what it does because it came out a game we all know a naruto game and if you must know what it is for which you will not know what im talking about its for Ino's clan which allow you to take someones mind over.

Two: I guess I should have said could you fix the code, I know what you did will probably be easier I prefer to have that code fixed.

Here, you can borrow some of mine:

A little tip: if you're copying somebody else's code, you're on your own when it doesn't work, because the majority of respectable programmers (the kind of people who help people with code problems) are unwilling to help people rip games. For this reason, you shouldn't copy anything that you couldn't write yourself.

I know what game that's from and the version you are trying to run it from was extremely buggy, and I know Raii wouldn't like you to go around flashing to the whole community that you are making a rip. I advise you to scrap that code and the entire source, because its worthless and the right thing to do.
