turf/door_step1 Heres the problem!
icon = 'icons.dmi'
icon_state = "doorstep"
density = 0
Enter(mob/M)
var/turf/automatic_door/O = locate(/turf/automatic_door)
if(O!= null)
O.Do_Action("Open")
sleep(60)
O.Do_Action("Locked")

turf/automatic_door
proc/Do_Action(DoWhat)
switch(DoWhat)
if("Locked")
icon = 'icons.dmi'
icon_state = "locked"
density = 1
if("Open")
icon = 'icons.dmi'
icon_state = "open"
density = 0


I checked on the map editor, and door_step1 is not dense in any way. Can anyone analyze this and tell me why I can't walk through the turf?

Understanding is more important than the answer.

Understanding the answer helps you understand the problem.
As people probaly don't know. I don't directly copy and paste. I've posted many a question and every one of those answers explained to me has helped me understand the problem and resolve future problems with that particular coding type.

Easy. You're using the wrong proc.

You should be using Entered() instead, and not having a dense door, or else you should use Enter() correctly so that it returns a value when it should.

I added this seeing atom/Enter() return 1 worked in the way I wanted it to by letting me pass through everything.

turf/door_step1/Enter()
return 1

But still no luck.

I didnt even know there was an Entered proc. lol

I get most of my reference from the blue book. I swear I have never seen it in there.

I stand corrected. It isn't in the blue book. Where do you learn those procs from?
