Saving Turfs,

I've been trying to save vars to the turf but It won't let me. Is there any way to call these Read and Write procs on turfs?

turf/House1


    Write(savefile/a)
        a["owned"] << owned
        a["housename"] << housename
        ..()
        
    Read(savefile/a)
        a["owned"] >> owned
        a["housename"] >> housename
        ..()


I compile this with now error and doesn't effect the game, but it doesn't save the turfs var making me have to buy the house everytime i reboot. Please help if you know how.

Turfs don't follow most normal read/write rules, so you won't be able to save them the way you could save, say, an obj. To save a turf properly you basically have to do the whole thing manually.

I've been trying to save the turfs var for awhile, and I've been pretty unsuccesful. I was wondering if you could help me with this. Besides the code I posted before I also tried to do something like this.
turf/verb
    Save()
        var/savefile/F = new("house1.sav")
        F["housename"] << housename
        F["owned"] << owned

I added the verb to me and tried manually saving it but it doesn't save the house1 vars.

This could and probabally is a problem in your house buying verb/option. Post that and Ill try to help you out. That would help out all the people trying to help you out. I would tell you the verb myself, but I am too lazy. But, If I can get to it before you post back, I will.

First of all I'm useing someone's demo for temporary houses. I forgot who because I removed the commentary to nake the code look cleaner. Also I know the houses sell for 1 gold but says 5000.
mob/var
    canenter
/*
turf/House1
    verb

        Write2(savefile/a)
            a["owned"] << owned
            a["housename"] << housename
            ..()

        Read2(savefile/a)
            a["owned"] >> owned
            a["housename"] >> housename
            ..()
turf/verb
    Save()
        var/savefile/F = new("house1.sav")
        F["housename"] << housename
        F["owned"] << owned

Also the saving is in /* */ to show the saving everythign else has to do with the houses but i removed the /* and */ to test just so you know.
