Code:

        Arrow_Right
            name = ""
            icon_state = "ArrowRight"
            MouseEntered(src)
                icon_state = "ArrowRightMove"
            MouseExited(src)
                icon_state = "ArrowRight"
            Click()
                for(var/mob/ChooseCharacter/Male/Elf/E in usr.client.screen)
                    if(E.screen_loc == "5,14")
                        E.screen_loc = "3,14"
                        return
                    if(E.screen_loc == "3,14")
                        E.screen_loc = "1,14"
                        return
                    if(E.screen_loc == "1,14")
                        E.screen_loc = "5,14"
                        return
                for(var/mob/ChooseCharacter/Male/Human/H in usr.client.screen)
                    if(H.screen_loc == "3,14")
                        H.screen_loc = "1,14"
                        return
                    if(H.screen_loc == "1,14")
                        H.screen_loc = "5,14"
                        return
                    if(H.screen_loc == "5,14")
                        H.screen_loc = "3,14"
                        return
                for(var/mob/ChooseCharacter/Male/Taruu/Tar in usr.client.screen) 
                    if(Tar.screen_loc == "1,14")
                        Tar.screen_loc = "5,14"
                        return
                    if(Tar.screen_loc == "5,14")
                        Tar.screen_loc = "3,14"
                        return
                    if(Tar.screen_loc == "3,14")
                        Tar.screen_loc = "1,14"
                        return

Problem description:

When I click the arrow, only the Elf(E) moves. I tried taking out the returns, but that causes more chaos, IE one moving at a time, when they should all move, or having to click multiple times before any of them move.

Detnom	Instead of using `return`, use `break`,and if you spawn each for() loop, they won't wait on each other.

Dead_Demon	Hahaha, thanks!

Exophus	else if() would have also worked, but without the returns, that is assuming, of course, that there was only one of each mob in the screen. break is probably better, though.
