cool idea to be able to fuel and fly planes.

obj 
    Plane
        icon = 'Plane1.dmi'
        density = 0
        verb
            Fly()
                set src in oview(3)
                world << "There is no Fuel in the tanks!"
            
            Refuel()
                set src in oview(2)
                for(var/obj/Fuel/a in usr.contents) //cycle through the contents
                    if(istype(a)) //if the obj in contents is the type /obj/Fuel, lets reload   
                        world << "You have succesfully Refueled the Plane!" //tell the user
                        . = 1 //return a 1
                        break //break (or return)
                        new /obj/FueledPlane (src.loc)
                        del (a)
                    del src
                if(!.)//if it wasn't found
                    world << "There isn't Fuel in your inventory!"
            
            
    Fuel
        icon = 'Fuel.dmi'
        verb
            Pick_Up()
                set src in oview(0)
                world << "You found some fuel!"
                src.Move (usr)
    
    FueledPlane
        icon = 'Plane1.dmi'
        verb
            Fly()
                set src in oview(3)
                usr.icon = 'Plane1.dmi'
                usr.density = 0


I think my problem is somewhere in the invent search part, the code won't delete my unfueled plane and it won't give me the fueled plane. I don't know what im doing wrong, but I think one of me del codes is messing up the rest of the code. Please help!

I think you want to get rid of that break. It exits the loop and goes straight to the code that follows it (in this case, the if(!.)).

    Fuel
        icon = 'Fuel.dmi'
        verb
            Pick_Up()
                set src in oview(0)
                world << "You found some fuel!"
                src.Move (usr)



Deleting is expensive and can be complicated. You can toggle an isfueled var in order to get the same behavior without the initialize/dispose overhead. You also wouldn't have to account for setting src to null.

Thanks to both of you, um, how can I make the usr travel faster when in his plane? Is this possible?

If you are using pixel movement (turned on by default) then just change the step_size variable to a higher number on the plane's atom *I believe it starts at 8)

so for instance: src.steps_size = 16?

^^ Correct! though you had a typo. step_size=16

a bit of topic but you said if your using pixel based movement, does that mean there are other ways to govern the movement of the user

You can add a delay on Move(), which causes a slower moving effect.

how would you do that?

Whats Move()?

You add a constraint and wait on Move(), this example will affect all types of move. You would probably want to go on to add a move source and only apply this constant when the mob moves themselves.
mob/Move()
  if(Moving) return //if we're moving, exit
  Moving = TRUE //set move to moving
  ..()
  sleep(10) //this waits before allowing a new move
  Moving = FALSE //allow a new move now
