In this case, you may want to directly modify Move()... major points about using move:
- Call ..() when you want to move ahead
- NEVER EVER use 'usr'. This is one of the worst procs to use it in.

something like

obj
     objectname
          icon = 'blah.dmi'
          icon_state = "blah"
          Entered(mob/M)
               Move(usr)


i think that should work

No no no. First of all, I am pretty sure you don't know how Entered() really works.

No, Enter() and the related movement proc isn't called when you take a step, they are called when you enter/exit another atom's contents. When you move, you enter the /area and /turf contents (well, really the /turf which contains /area). For /obj and /atom, you have to be added in to thier contents, like how you do with items.

What I was referring for you to do is something similar to this 
mob.Move()
   world << "Attempting to move"
   .=..()  //  Checks if the person successfully moved
   if(.) world << "Moved"


Also, didn't I mention using 'usr' is not a good idea in any movement procs?

No... read the DM REF!

For Enter() it states:
When:
Called when an object attempts to enter the contents list.

You want to modify mob.Move(), not obj.Enter()

See the example on Move() I showed in [link]

What you should add to it is probably locate(), to see if there's a non-dense /obj underneath you, and call the pickup verb or move it in to the mob

the locate() thing probably wouldnt work because the turf you're on has a density of 0... and ill check out the Move thing also...

Obviously you don't know what locate() does, look it up in the DM Reference.
