Restricting access via dense object.

It's definitely been a while for me. I just have a quick question. You see, what I'd like to do is create an invisible border to restrict access to certain sections. However, at my own discretion... I would like to add an individual to my list (Access List) in order to walk in that area with no problems. I'm lost and really wish I could do this on my own.

Another option I'd like to accomplish would be to allow ALL players in the world to walk through the section when I feel like letting them. Eventually, I could even edit my code so it affects THAT area only, but creating several types of invisible boundaries.

So... how for my quick question. How in the world would I accomplish such? Any simple snippets so I can get a general idea?

Look up Bump(). You can override it and return 1, allowing entrance.

I'm familiar with Bump() already. I wasn't aware of overriding it though. Cool.

No you can't. Enter() is the one you're thinking of.

area/restricted
  Enter(var/mob/M)
    if(istype(M))
      if(M.clearance)
        return ..()
      else
        return 0
    else
      return ..()


You could also override turf/Enter(). If you wish to use objects, you'll need to modify Enter() for all turfs to allow for it (search the forum for "StepOn", as I've posted it numerous times).

I appreciate it Garthor. That helped me quite a bit.
