turf/wall/Enter(mob/M)
 if(istype(M))
   if(!M.density)
      return 0

else return 1

That's REALLY vague, and there's a LOT of bad code in there, Mysame. I'd suggest something more like this:

turf
  GMwall
    density = 1
    opacity = 1
    Enter(var/atom/movable/O)
      if(O&&istype(O,/mob))
        var/mob/M = O
        if(M.gm&&M.density==0) //test if it is a gm... You'll have to replace this line.
          return 1
        else
          return 0
      else
        return ..()


Now, it may just be me talking, but I spent some time as a C/C++ programmer. If I compiled something like your example in C, Mysame, it wouldn't compile.

I'll tell you why: Because Enter() is sort of a boolean statement. You never call enter for anything but a true or false value, thus, it MUST ALWAYS return a value. If you don't put an else clause, or at least a fallback return at the bottom, you aren't returning a value at some point or another. It may not be neccessary in BYOND, but it saves massive headaches later.
