if you want to thats ok. i just wanted to know if it's possible to use relative positions instead of EXACT positions.

for instance.

if i had a teleportation technique. and i wanted to appear 3 spaces above and 2 spaces to the right of the position my mob was just in.

as opposed to using EXACT locations like (1,3,5)

locate(src.x+2,src.y+3,src.z)

Ofcourse you got to take into consideration about dense objects and things of the likes >_>

You could use that and not have to worry about dense objects, I believe.



var/newLoc = locate(src.x+2,src.y+3,src.z)
src.Move(newLoc)

He knows that, yet simply forgot/didn't realize it for a moment and it doesn't take a clever person to know that Move() won't move you to a location with a dense atom in it.
