I need a little help here i am trying to make a code where if someone does something bad in my game where i can click a thing and it sends them to jail simple right? Wrong. I kinda need some help making it so i can set a time limit and after that time limit is up they are teleported to their previous location can i get a nudge in the right direction. I want it so it whispers to the mob you have been sent to jail. Please help thx in advance

just have the proc that teleports them, record their current poisition before they are teliproted, then, afterthey are in the jail, have a timer on it(not sure if you would use sleep or spawn, but I'm pretty sure it is sleep) and have it teleport them to the original location

on the whisper thing just put in
M << "You have been sent to jail by [usr.name]"


Hope all of this will help

i know but the code part is kinda difficult i cant figure out how to like record position or how to make it so it has a timer. The timer works a little that i made but i cant figure out how to mesh all the codes together either if u could give me the location saver then i can do the rest

I believe that this should work to save the location

 
M.lloc = M.loc // saves last spot
M.loc = locate(1,1,1) //cahnge the 1,1,1 to the location of your jail

then when they are being teleported out of there use this

M.loc = M.lloc // places them at the origanal spot


that should solve it, just add the sleep() in there and the whisper and anything else you wanted to ad and you should be fine.

I didn't have time to test it, so if any one else see's an error, please correct me.

                if (!a) return
                src<<"Sent you to jail for [a] seconds"
                if (a) M.lloc = M.loc // saves last spot
                M.loc = locate(4,9,1) //cahnge the 1,1,1 to the location of your jail
                sleep(a*10)
                M.loc = M.lloc // places them at the origanal spot

oops, my bad, forgotto tell you to defin that one.
just add
mob/var/lloc

put it where you define the var's for your mobs, and you'll be fine

    afk = 0

mob/verb/AFK(mob/M)
    set category = "Commands"
    if(usr.afk == 0)
        usr.overlays += 'afk.dmi'  
        usr.afk = 1
        world << "<font color = red><b>[usr] is Afk." 
        M.lloc = M.loc // saves last spot
        M.loc = locate(4,9,1) 
    else
        usr.afk = 0
        usr.overlays -= 'afk.dmi' 
        world << "<font color = red><b>[usr] is back."
        M.loc = M.lloc


mob/Move()
    if(!src.afk)
        return..()
