Not adding typesof obj to list at world.New()

Here's the code:

var
    list/baseset = list()

World
    New()
        for(var/obj/colors/C in typesof(/obj/colors/))
            baseset.Add(C)

        return ..()


That code is supposed to add every object under obj/colors/ to the list baseset, however it does not. I even tried the following:

var
    list/baseset = typesof(/obj/colors/)


Neither of the two will add all of the certain object to the list. Am I doing something wrong?

First, you have a capital W on world, and I'm not sure what that'll do. Second, try var/C in typesof(/obj/colors/) instead. var/obj/colors/C will only apply to real objects of type /obj/colors. typesof() returns a list of typepaths.

Well the thing is, it is adding them to the list but only as the type path. You see, you'll have to actually create the objects in order for them to show up in the list. Here is a simple way to do it.

world
    New()
        .=..()
        spawn() SortList(baseset)//call proc

var/tmp/list/baseset=typesof(/obj/colors/)//list containing colors
proc/SortList(list/selected)
    for(var/S in selected)//for all the type paths in the list
        var/obj/B=S//define the type path to be an obj
        var/obj/A=new B//create the obj
        selected.Remove(S)//remove the type path from the list
        selected.Add(A)//add the object to the list
    for(var/obj/A in selected)//search the list for unwanted objects
        if(A.name=="")//if its unidentifiable by name
            del(A)//delete it
