How would you make ice that when entered, you slide to the next turf in your dir?

turf
   ice
      Entered(mob/M)
         if(istype(M,/mob/))
            if(M.dir == SOUTH)
                M.y-1
            if(M.dir == NORTH)
                M.y+1
            if(M.dir == EAST)
                M.x-1
            if(M.dir == WEST)
                M.x+1

turf/ice/Entered(mob/m)
  if(ismob(m))step(m,m.dir)

Something like that :p

You forgot ..()!

turf/Ice/Entered(var/atom/movable/a)
    ..()
    if(ismob(m)) step(m,m.dir)

You don't need ..() in Entered(), it has no default action.

It's often a good idea to include it anyway. What if a library you're using depends on Entered() to work properly? You might end up preventing the library's Entered() from executing, causing it to mess up.

As a general rule of thumb, it's good practice to include ..() in built-in procs unless you know that you specifically don't want the default action to occur.
