Euh, you set the wall's opacity to 1, that way you can't see through the wall.

Alright, this perplexed me for a moment, so I am going to make you a lib to take care of this.

Even if someone else does it first, I think this would be a nice lib to add to m collection anyway, so I'll let you know when it's all done. You'll probably have it figured out by then, but it'll still be worth a look [and download ;)].

Look at the atom/Entered and atom/Exited procs. Think really hard about Mysame's advice.

Thanks to Cheetoz for the following code:

        for(var/turf/wall/W in view(src))
            var/image/I = image(W.icon, W, W.icon_state)
            I.opacity = 1
            client.images += I


And an explanation:

Well, I asked, and he said you could either use the /image datum or you could do it this way. You're looping through every type of wall in view() ( Which, noted by Cheetoz: "You'll need to expand this if your room is bigger than view() ) and copy the image, then edit the opacity var and add it to client.images. You can clear images on Exited().

area
    wally
        Entered()
            for(var/turf/wall/O in view(src))
                var/image/I = image(O.icon, O, O.icon_state)
                I.opacity = 1
                usr.client.images += I

Thats what i got but nothing happens when you enter.

That's odd - I tested it out with density and it worked fine. Are you sure that you have walls within 5 tiles?
