Probably because you blindly copy+pasted that code in your project, remember: Never copy+paste from the forums!

untested and unchecked

Madpeter, I know I've said this to you often, but I say it again: Don't post code you haven't tested, because your code more often than not is wrong.

dir is a number, not a string. src.dir=="North" will always be false.

The first method using client/North() does work, although probably what this poster wants is a way to block movement directions in a specific turf. He wasn't very specific about that, or even very coherent, but it doesn't often make sense to always block mobs from moving north.

You're doing your checks backwards. If the mob is not frozen, you've just told it to go ahead and move no matter what else the case may be. Instead you need to bail out if the mob is frozen, and if they're not supposed to move, and so on.

mob/Move(newloc, newdir)
  if(frozen || nomove) return
  // this will check for a diagonal direction
  if(newdir & (newdir-1)) return
  return ..()

Your post made absolutely no sense. What was the point of it?

It's clear of course that the if() checks in the existing code are wrong, and need to be fixed. If you're actually doing them the same way, you too will have the same issue. If you're not sure about that, why bother posting just to say... nothing?
