Nice, it compiled fine, now to see if it works :D

You could "save" that for later, such as if yu made a variable for the mob's type of say:

var
    home = 0


Now in the teleport code we could do:

    teleport(/*floor code*/, mob/warper)
        var
            warpX
            warpY
        if(warper.home)
            warper.loc = home
        else
            warpX = floor.x + rand(1,14)
            warpY = floor.y + rand(1,8)
            warper.home = locate(warpX,warpY,1)

Best response
To expand on Akando's code, you could just check to see if the area is being occupied.

mob/proc
    set_loc(x, y, z)
        var/turf/t = locate(x, y, z)
        if(t.contents.len >= 1)
           src.loc = locate(t.x + rand(1, 5), t.y + rand(1, 5), t.z)
        else
           src.loc = locate(t.x, t,y, t.z)

Keep in mind that you will also be relocated if there are "non-mobs" in that location too.

Msgnum's code is much more error protective :)
Dec 28 2013, 6:15 pm
Hmmm, for some reason it does not work
Dec 28 2013, 6:16 pm
Though I think it is a problem in the other proc
Dec 28 2013, 6:17 pm
Can you put an output string in the teleport proc so we can makesure it is getting there.
Dec 28 2013, 6:18 pm
Hmm yeah,
Dec 28 2013, 6:20 pm
-crosses fingers- I hope this works :D
Dec 28 2013, 6:25 pm
Holy shiskabob, it teleported all of the other characters to that location, lol but it didn't teleport me.

But I edited it to
for(var/mob/PC/M in world)
teleport (M)

ROFL thats why, don't do that lol, becuase you are getting every mob in the world and passing them into the teleprt proc.
Dec 28 2013, 6:31 pm
Ok, it never reached the proc, so I'm guessing there's something wrong in the transition
Dec 28 2013, 6:32 pm
The second proc was fixed, but the teleport proc never worked |:
Dec 28 2013, 6:32 pm
Can you copy and paste what you have for the first proc and the teleport?
Dec 28 2013, 6:34 pm
yeah sure, how do I copy paste code again? Kinda new at this lol

Put it between a dm and /dm tag, so type < "dm" > and <" /dm "> without the quotations

First proc:
for(var/mob/PC/M in world)
    if(M.response == 0)
        world <<"\white [M] has been teleported outside because of a non-response!"
        teleport (M)

Teleport proc:
proc
    teleport(turf/Floors/floor, mob/warper)
        var
            warpX
            warpY
    warpX = floor.x + rand(1,14)
    warpY = floor.y +rand(1,8)
    warper.loc = locate(warpX,warpY,1)
    world << "\white It is getting here"

Does it show the teleport out because of non-response message?

and it is showing:

world << "\white It is getting here"?
Dec 28 2013, 6:42 pm
It does, but it doesn't show the "It is getting here"
