mob
    verb
        Shutdown()
            set category="Admin"
            switch(alert("Are you sure you want to shutdown the world?",,"Yes","No"))
                if("Yes")
                    for(var/mob/Player/M in world)
                        M.islocked = 0
                        M.SaveAuto()
                    sleep(100)
                    del (world)
mob/proc/SaveAuto()
    src.client.Save()
    src<<"<font color = #dc143c>Your game has been auto-saved."


Now, What i want this system to do is save every player before shutting down. It saves the player but the procedure ends after that and the world does not get deleted. Help?

Try indenting sleep(100) and SaveAuto() one more time.

My guess is that client.Save() is for whatever reason not returning, which would have the for() loop hung up waiting for AutoSave() to finish. Do you (or any other players) see the <font color = #dc143c>Your game has been auto-saved</font>?

Also, add a check to make sure that all the /mob/Player actually have a client:

mob
    verb
        Shutdown()
            set category="Admin"
            switch(alert("Are you sure you want to shutdown the world?",,"Yes","No"))
                if("Yes")
                    for(var/mob/Player/M in world)
                        if(M.client)
                            M.islocked = 0
                            M.SaveAuto()
                    sleep(100)
                    del (world)
mob/proc/SaveAuto()
    src.client.Save()
    src<<"<font color = #dc143c>Your game has been auto-saved."

Yes,I do.

Try putting a 
world<<"<B>Server is shutting down in 10 seconds</B>
before the sleep(100). It's a nice little notice to the player (so they don't wonder why the game just disappeared), and if it shows you know its a problem with del(world).

If you see the message, go through your code and make sure you have ..() in every world/Del() you may have.

Hmmm...there's only one thing I could guess.

Don't call auto save, call the main save proc.
Or there may be something wrong in your save proc.

The auto save proc was an infinite loop so i did call the main save proc and it worked. I Can't believe i over looked this. Thank for the help guys!
