Make sure to put that after the ..() in Login. If that isn't the problem then we'd have to see more code.

mob
    ChooseChara
        var/mob/character
        Login()
            var/charactername = input("What is your name?","Name",src.key)
            world<<"[usr] joins!"
            switch(input("Pick a team")in list("Red","Blue"))
                if("Red")
                    character = new/mob/Red_Smifflion()
                    src.loc = locate(1,1,1)
                if("Blue")
                    character = new/mob/Blue_Smifflion()
                    src.loc = locate(1,1,2)
            character.name = charactername
            src.client.mob = character

As stated: "Make sure to put that after the ..() in Login. If that isn't the problem then we'd have to see more code."

Oddly enough, it's not in there.

However, you can still find the meaning by looking in the ZBT tutorial or the Guide!

Really?
.. proc
See also: 
. proc 
Format: 
..(Args) 
Returns: 
The return value of the parent proc. 
Args: 
The arguments to pass to the parent proc. This defaults to the arguments to the current proc. 
If object O is derived from object P, P is called the parent of O. If a proc (or verb) is defined in both O and P, O can call P's version by using ..(). 

Example:
mob 
  P 
    verb/history() 
      world << "P"

    O 
      verb/history() 
        world << "O"
        ..()          // call P.history()

Here O is derived from P. When P calls "history", his name is displayed. When O calls "history", his name is displayed, followed by the name of his parent, P. 

..() can also be used for predefined procs. 

Example:
mob/Move()            // override proc
  world << "moving..."
  return ..()         // call default

This proc will print "moving..." whenever the mob moves.

You are setting the loc of src, the ChooseChara, then you place them in the newly created character mob, which is still at 1,1,1. Instead of changing src.loc, change character.loc.

Hmm. I must have added an extra dot or something when I searched.
