Ok, I'm trying to save the location of the players where they logged out at, I use names to locate places ie Move(locate(/area/temple)) how would I save their last location before logout, I know use a var, but what would I save?

lol here,
mob/var/lastx
mob/var/lasty
mob/var/lastz
var/players=new/list()

client/proc/SaveMob()
    usr.lastx=usr.x
    usr.lasty=usr.y
    usr.lastz=usr.z
    var/firstletter=copytext(src.ckey, 1, 2)
    var/savefile/F = new("players/[firstletter]/[src.ckey].sav")
    var/char_ckey = cKey(src.mob.name)
    F["/[ckey]/[char_ckey]"]<<src.mob
    sleep(1)
    src<<"Save Complete!"

I'm trying to think that maybe I can set it by name or make a var and give each area a number which could do it...but I'll have to check it out....

im not sure if this will work but its a pretty good guess it you ask me,
mob/var
    area

area
    Blah
         Enter()
              usr.area=Blah
Login
     if(usr.area==Blah)
          //i dont know wat to put here cause im not good
          //muds as i said but tele him like that
          //sorry about it but thats as good as i know but
          //it probally will get annoying adding all those
          //areas.

Don't put usr in procs, it can cause problem later.

But he was on the right track. You can save the players location using a variable, and check for that variable at Login(). Doesn't require x,y,z.

Think you show me an example?

In response to Lundex
He already did. I was just explaining what he showed in a little more detail.

Create a variable that you will save the location they are "at" to the player. Later, when they log back in, access this variable and ,based on its value, go from there.

Ok, but when I used Enter() it disable the movement for the character..

In response to Lundex
Because he is using Enter() incorrectly. Look it up in the help ref.
