Ok, here what I have no clue how to do. I do the demonstration in steps. (Note: This is a board game)

  • Disable mob movement.

  • Place a mob on the turf.

  • Take control of the mob and make it move.

    Thank you,

I am going to assume you mean "disable the player's ability to move the mob"
mob
    var/disable_mob_movement=0//Set this to 1 to disable movement
    proc/disable_mob_movement()
        disable_mob_movement=1
client
    Move()
        if(mob.disable_mob_movement)return 0
        .=..()


Place a mob on the turf.

mob/proc/Place_a_mob_on_the_turf()
    loc=locate(x,y,z)//where x,y,z are the coordinates of the turf, change them to the appropriate numbers


Take control of the mob and make it move

mob/proc/Take_control_of_the_mob_and_make_it_move()
    disable_mob_movement()//from the first example
    Place_a_mob_on_the_turf()//from the second example
    //Then just put whatever you want the mob to do after this, such as:
    Move(get_step(src,NORTH))
    Move(get_step(src,EAST))
    //and so on


Thank you,

Your very welcome.

What does .=..() do?

In response to Zlegend2
"." is the return value, and "..()" means "call the parent type's version of the function". So that basically means "Do what the movement code normally does, and when this function is finished return what that function would have returned."
