I was trying to put together a world code so when a mob walks over an icon like a set of stairs, it will take them to another level, or walking over a city icon with take you to a city, but it didn't work so well, can someone help me out?

Err... world code..? Right. Well this is what you wanted.

turf
  door
    Entered(mob/M)
      M.loc=locate(x,y,z)//fill in the x, y, and z coords.


Or if you want a way that you do not have to pick x, y, and z locations all the time you can do this...

turf
  doors
    enter
      one
      two
      Entered(mob/M)
        for(var/turf/doors/exit/E in world)M.loc=locate(E.x,E.y,E.z)
    exit
      one
      two
      Entered(mob/M)
        for(var/turf/doors/exit/E in world)M.loc=locate(E.x,E.y,E.z)

Or more bugfree;
turf/Entered(var/atom/movable/a)
  if(ismob(a))
    var/mob/M=a
    ...


Always check if the thing that is entering IS a mob. What if it plainly isn't a mob? :|

A bit more organised:
turf/Entered(var/atom/movable/a)
  if(!ismob(a))
    ... //stuff for non-mobs here
    return
  var/mob/M=a
  ... //your stuff for mobs

//See? It saves you from a tab, in big complicated procs they can get quite
//annoying -- which is why you should always keep them minimal. But I believe that's
//rather a matter of opinion. >_>

Okay, I got that, I have another question...what about making a sign readable. After this I can get everything else downpat, but I was reading in the demos and libraries and saw nothing..

One method
obj/Sign
  var/smsg//Edit this var on the map for a message
  Click() Read()
   verb/Read()
     usr<<smsg

Ahh, yes. I usually don't bother to show that on the forum as I would think most people should know that by now. Eh, I'll show just in case from now on to be safe.

Though, O-Dutchy, what if it should also do something when a certain obj enters? =P. Like trees that get fire after being Entered by a fire attack! :<
