I'm confused on how to use these procs.. I'm tryng to make it so you can play a gamecube or something on a TV. The gamecube needs a TV next to it to play something and when you play something it shows up the the TV screen.

Oh, and orange is a color or fruit. X)

Something like this?

obj/gamecube/verb/play()
    var/obj/TV = locate() in range(1,src)
    TV.icon_state = "playing_gamecube"

All the tastier to program with!

Use them exactly like you use view() and oview(). The two procs you mentioned ignore any visibility whatsoever, so they go through walls and things like that. Handy for internal objects checking on eachother.

I also recommend you using viewers() and hearers(). I wrote about them in another topic; find it! =)
