-How do you make it to where a certain user clicks his/her object then clicks a spot on the turf and makes it go there.
-If possible could you also tell me how to select multiple objects at once.

Well there is a procedure to handle clicking, guess what it's called?

Click()

There are actually two methods of doing this, here are both:

Method 1:
turf
    Click()
        walk_to(usr, src)


In this method, Click() is called when the turf has been clicked.

Method 2:
client
    Click(turf/T)
        walk_to(usr, T)
        ..()


In this method, Click() is called when a client clicks a /turf (T), I am also calling the default action which calls the objects Click() procedure along with the arguments (location, control and params) - You can look up more on this in the Click() reference.

For the 2nd one..... List? Or do you want something visual? If thats, it, then i guess try writing the values in your handy little list to stat panel...? Or did you want a hud? If so, forget about, because the few people who know about won't tell you.

So would I do this:
obj/Click()
         to turf/Click()
              walk_to(usr,src)

Because you still didn't explain how to click the
object(not mob) then the turf to make the object move there.

Try adding the object clicked to a list, or give it a variable to decide if anything should move to the turf you clicked...

mob/var/list/selected=new           
obj
    clickable
        Click()
            usr<<"Omg you clicked me, I'm honoured :)"
            usr.selected += src
turf
    Click()
        for(var/obj/a in usr.selected)
            walk(a,src)


But don't take it from me, I have no idea what I'm talking about! :)

What, I don't understand what you mean, where did /obj come from? I thought you wanted /turf/Click().

You seem awfully bitter about this for some reason. All you really need to know about a HUD is in the reference.

Nope. What I'm looking for is where a user, and that user only, can select an object by clicking it then send it to where they want it to go to by then clicking the area on the turf.

            world << "[o.name] [(x) ? "Selected" : "Deselected"]!" 
            //Output to the world if obj 'o' is selected or not depending on the 'x' variable

            for(var/obj/object in usr.selected_objs) //For all /obj 's in the selected_objs list
                walk_to(object, o) //walk the object to the location of o
        ..()


Small documentated example.

Really? I honestly did not know that. Thank you for helping me find this out.

You should make use of the click() part of DM. Put it in with the rest of your code, I'm not sure how you're programming this thing for yourself.
