Also note that it's considerably easier to just use objs with tags to locate ANYTHING in your game, rather than relying on coordinates.

I suggest using objs so that you can give them an icon and make them invisible, so you can see where they are on the map. Technically, you could just edit turfs to have a tag, but there would be no visual indication of it.

I personally like using area's, but thats probably just me.

That's a waste of areas, as you can only place one per tile.

That won't work as well because an area doesn't indicate a single map position (turf), and the same area you're flagging can span through multiple (or all) the z-levels. So you'd better use a turf or some other method.

(No it isn't, as you wouldn't be [re]placing any area on the map, just editing an existing one)

I suppose if you conveniently enough have an area containing a single turf right where you wanted, then it wouldn't be wasting an area. But that's not particularly likely.

Mainly what the OP wanted here is to be able to differentiate between different map files (== z levels), not to find a certain spot/turf on the map. Of course, I recommended that he uses turfs instead of areas as they're more suited anyway.

Areas aren't necessarily on a single z-level anyway. And besides, I'd be willing to bet money that he wants the z-level so he can locate(x,y,z), so I suggest cutting out the middle-man and just using locate(tag) to find what you want directly.
