is there something that would take the opposite of something? If not make that a suggestion.

Hee hee! This could mean a lot of different things. Do you mean that an icon would be converted to a photographic negative? Or a text string "black" would be converted to "white"? Or maybe just the old Boolean "not" that would convert 0 to 1 and vice-versa? I think we'll need a little more clarification.

lol good point! What i want is more with the direction of a mobile or a var. like if the mob was facing North make it face south.

Simplest method is to use the turn proc and turn them 180 degrees.

[EDIT]
I said that wrong the second time. I meant with the move proc.

Hmm... unless there's a bug in the version you're using, dir = turn(dir, 180) should do the trick.

im trying:
client
North()
dir=turn(src.dir,180)


and it moves them clear to the other side of the screen. see my other post too.

Weird... setting dir shouldn't change the mob's location on the map. One thing you might try is using mob.dir instead of src.dir.

Its REALLY MESSING UP!!! EAST and WEST sometimes work and other time they send you clear acrost the map. then when i try step(src,NORTH) nothing.

You are changing client.dir. This changes the way the client viewport faces. There is no problem with BYOND in this case.

You need to change src.mob.dir (the player's mob's dir), not src.dir (the player's client's dir).

turn(dir, angle) works all right for me. =)
