Sometimes you just want to screw with people, so how would I use a mob like a car? Because changing the key is like auto eject and I already have 3 different commands that involve booting.
Also,sortof involving the same thing, how would I make a spy command to see a user but not actually be right by them?
much obliged

You could just override the GMs Move() and the mobs Move(), when the GM moves call the mobs move. And for the other thing, look up client.eye.

And as for that Spy verb, try this.

mob/proc/spy(mob/o)
   src.client.eye = o
   src.client.perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE


mob/verb/Spy(mob/o in world)
    spy(o)
    while(!o)//incase the mob logs out, you don't want a black screen
        spy(src)//will return your eye to you
        return

That while loop will never start, because the mob, 'o', will not be null immediatly after you you spy. It is also a bad idea to keep looping and checking whether or not a player has logged out or not. It would work better to move the eye back to the player when the watched person logs out on Logout().

A system I used for this type of "spying" didn't use that. Instead, you would return to your eye when you moved.

mob
  var
    mob/watching
  verb
    spy(mob/M in world)
      src.watching = M
      src.client.eye = M 
      src.client.perspective &= ~MOB_PERSPECTIVE // turn off the MOB_PERSPECTIVE bit
      src.client.perspective |= EYE_PERSPECTIVE // turn on the EYE_PERSPECTIVE bit

  Move()
    . = ..()
    if(. && src.watching)
      src.watching = null
      src.client.eye = src
      src.client.perspective &= ~EYE_PERSPECTIVE
      src.client.perspective |= MOB_PERSPECTIVE
