Restricted 'Area'

Well I've stared to work with areas now, and I was wondering how to make it so that if a player somehow teleports to an area where he shouldnt be, if he moves he gets sent out.

Lets say for example the area is the 'Admin_Room' and in order to move in there your var must be 'Admin = 1'. How would I make it so that only people with that var can walk aout in the area, and anyone else gets sent back to location(1,1,1)?

Thanks alot, .:: Jester ::.

turf
   admin_section
      Entered(O)
         if(ismob(O))
            var/mob/M = O
            M.loc=locate(1,1,1)


That should help.

I'm not even going to begin with what's wrong about this.

turf //you could also make this an area, if you want.
  adminarea
    Entered(mob/o)
      if(istype(o)&&o.moderator).=..(o) //if you want to let the moderator enter \
      even if the turf has density, just change .=..(o) to .=1
      else .=0


If you want him to return him to a certain area, replace .=0 with o.loc=locate(number,number,number)

yes, it seems better in my eyes. Plus I posted below on how to make it work the way he wanted.

An area would not work for this example. The reason being that areas are just that. They cover a large area, and are considered 1 object. So if they are teleported into the wrong area somehow, they never call enter/ed(), as they move around, they will not call it, unless it is a turf.

Another idea is to have an object in the middle of the floor(A table or something), that runs a check for players within X ammount a space. I am not sure which is more effecent though.

Thanks DivineO'peanut, I got it going now and it works fine. And yeah Scoobert I see what you mean about not using area for this, thanks.
