Logic with SwapMaps

I am having issues with thee logic in this. What I am trying to do is to have the map Z level increase so that people can "create a house" there. But, I want to be able to put a system in check so that when I am going to create a house, I could somehow check all Z levels to see if there was a "free one" first that would be from a player logging out who had created their "home". I am using the SwapMaps library.

mob/var
    assigned_house_x = 50
    assigned_house_y = 50
    assigned_house_z
    person
mob/verb/set_name()
    person = input("Enter your name")

var/tmp/list/Housing
mob
    verb
        SaveChunk()
            if(!loc)
                usr << "You must be on the map."
                return
            //var/_x=round(input("x size:","New map: x size",world.maxx) as num,1)
            var/_x = usr.assigned_house_x
            var/_y = usr.assigned_house_y
            //var/_y=round(input("y size:","New map: y size",world.maxy) as num,1)
            _x=max(1,min(_x,world.maxx-x+1))
            _y=max(1,min(_y,world.maxy-y+1))
            SwapMaps_SaveChunk("chunk",loc,locate(x+_x-1,y+_y-1,assigned_house_z))
        LoadChunk()
            if(!loc)
                usr << "You must be on the map to save your house."
                return
            var/list/L=SwapMaps_GetSize("chunk")
            if(!L)
                usr << "House not found."
                return
            var/_x=max(1,min(x,world.maxx-L[1]+1))
            var/_y=max(1,min(y,world.maxy-L[2]+1))
            var/oldloc=loc
            usr << "Loading house at [_x],[_y],[assigned_house_z]"
            SwapMaps_LoadChunk("chunk",locate(_x,_y,assigned_house_z))
            loc=oldloc
    proc
        Load_My_House()
            assigned_house_z = world.maxz + 1
            world.maxz++
            usr << "<font color = red>[world.maxz]-world.maxz.</font> <font color = blue>[assigned_house_z]-assigned_house_z.</font>"
            loc = locate(1,5,assigned_house_z)

        Clean_Up_Duty()
            Housing.Add("[assigned_house_z]_[person]")
    //      for(assigned_house_z in Housing)
    //          if(
//  verb
//      Lay_Down_Flooring()
//          new /obj/floor in loc
    proc
        Set_Up()
obj/floor
    icon = 'turfs.dmi'
    icon_state = "floor"

/*

Player loads house.

Z level is added on.

Monster loads house.

Z level is added on.


Z level started at one, but is now 3.

Player logs out.

Z-level 2 is available.





Add Z-level 2 to a list

Check for available Z-levels in list before
players are added on.

Player will join Z-level list before they
are able to join a newly created Z level.

Every 5 minutes, the Z-level list is cleared
of Z-levels which do not contain objects.

SwapMaps automatically will find unused areas to place new map chunks. You just need to use Unload() to remove the areas when a player leaves and it should automatically re-use that z-level (or smaller or larger chunk) when needed.
