How would I check if the turf an NPC is standing on is dense or not?

Thank you.

refer to your coding to see if you made the turf dense or non-dense.

That's not really an answer, Zlegend2. He wants to know how to do this at runtime, not how to tell in advance.

Alright ok, that was a pointless answer:

This is what you're looking for:
<font color = red>

mob/verb/check_turf(var/mob/T as turf) // Define the variable to identify a turf
if(T.density==1) src << "Turf is dense." // check if it is dense
if(T.density==0) src << "Turf is not dense." // check if it isnt dense.

<font color = #2F00C6>
Enjoy

Try something like this:

<code>mob/verb/CheckLocDensity(mob/M as mob in view()) if(M.loc.density) usr << "[M]'s loc is dense." else usr << "[M]'s loc is not dense."</code>

Using ==1 and ==0 is simply shoddy coding. You should use if(density) and if(!density). In fact even better would be an if(density) followed by an else.

And close your HTML tags.
