Ugh, another problem, loading/saving problem.

Here's my code for Save/Load

client/proc/Save()
        var/savefile/F=new("Save_Files/[src.ckey].sav")
        var/mob/characters/V=usr
        V.verbstuff()
        F<<V
        F<<V.x
        F<<V.y
        F<<V.z
        F<<V.verbstuff


client/proc/Load()
        var/savefile/F=new("Save_Files/[src.ckey].sav")
        var/mob/characters/V=usr
        F>>V
        F>>V.x
        F>>V.y
        F>>V.z
        F>>V.verbstuff
        V.addverbs()

mob
    New()
        ..()
        src.verbstuff = new()
mob
    proc
        verbstuff()
            for(var/verb/O in src.verbs)
                src.verbstuff.Add(O)
mob
    proc
        addverbs()
            for(var/verb/O in src.verbstuff)
                src.verbs.Add(O)


And here's my chooseCharacter mob that's invisible.
mob
    other
        chooseCharacter
            Login()
                world << "<i><font color=blue><b>[usr]</b></font> is creating a character.</i>"
                usr.loc = locate(7,7,4)
            Logout()
                ..()
            var
                chooseHair
                chooseRace
                chooseSkin


Now, here's the code for the "Load" graphic. Once a user clicks this it should load their character.

turf
    Load
        icon = 'load.bmp'
        Click()
            usr.client.Load()
            ..()



The problem I'm having is that the mob doesn't go to his location. I checked the location of the mob after I click "Load" and it's 0,0,0 and the screen is black -_-. Please help.

Ok, updated code.

client/proc/Save()
        var/savefile/F=new("Save_Files/[src.ckey].sav")
        src.mob.verbstuff()
        F<<src.mob
        F<<src.mob.x
        F<<src.mob.y
        F<<src.mob.z
        F<<src.mob.verbstuff


client/proc/Load()
        var/savefile/F=new("Save_Files/[src.ckey].sav")
        F>>src.mob
        F>>src.mob.x
        F>>src.mob.y
        F>>src.mob.z
        F>>src.mob.verbstuff
        src.mob.addverbs()


No difference -_-'.

I think the problem (I could be wrong) is that 0,0,0 is not on the map. As far as I know, the smallest possible location (in BYOND) is 1,1,1. Can any BYOND guru correct me on this? (I don't want to give misleading information to anyone.)

The reason your mobs don't return to their old location is that you can't change the x,y,z values one at a time and expect them to become what you need. If you're at null (where x=y=z=0), then changing x to 5 will try to put you at (5,0,0), which ends up at (0,0,0) again. The trick is to change all three at once using locate(). So you have to load the x,y,z values into temporary vars to use them.

OMG! Thank you so much! It finally works now. This took like 2 days to figure out. I can finally move on. Thanks a ton!
