I am the easy layers lib from BYOND to make cliffs more realstic, so you can walk on the top, but not hop from the button to the top. It works great.

But monsters, can still pass right through the turfs, and I think its because they can still move diagilonal. Is there a way to stop this?

I believe it wont, I am talking abotu mobs besides players. In the help file it says..

client var (mob)
See also:
client
Default value:
null

This is a reference to a set of properties specific to the player. Therefore non-player mobs (NPCs) do not have a client (client = null).

Setting a mob's client connects that player's client to the mob.

So it would go without saying, any client commands wouldnt work on those NPCs.

Thanks for that referance, but Ive already looked into that, i thought Move() was for moving mobs from one spot to another.

Then I noticed the help file says that it is called every time a mob moves. But how would I apply that to the mob?

mob
   Move()
         if(SOUTHEAST)
             return 0


Try that

mob/Move(l,d)
  if(d&(d-1))return
  return ..()

Well after looking through the Easy Layers source, it turns out, they did it a kind of lazy way..

What they did was make it so turfs had limits for N,S,E,W and then they locked out diagilonal movement by client movement.

So I went and I also added it in, so turfs had limits for all the diagilonal movement instead of just locking the client diagilonal movement and it works fine now.
