Its a cheap unsafe way of basically giving co host lol

I think you missed the point.

Also, just on a note, in your redundant code, return is redundant as you're not returning anything in that proc.

return isn't used exclusively to return a specific value, but also for its other effect - stopping the proc. You're right the 2nd return there is redundant, but the 1st isn't at all. The return is effectively used in a similar manner to an 'else' statement; it prevents going further in the proc if the if() was satisfied.
Related: For example, in code like this: 
proc/MyProc(val)
   if(val)
      return 1
   else
      return 0

... the 'else' is highly redundant. It's great for readability, but on the code execution, in this case, it will make no difference.

"How to make someone Co-host if it can be done??"

This is about making a person "co host", not NPCs >_> For NPCs, there's plenty of resources on creating basic NPCs and basic AI for basic NPCs.

As for your co-host question, there isn't a "co host" feature in any of the BYOND software. What you're asking about is a hypothetical necessity (as I call it, though the terminology is probably off :\ ).

Only you can "make" someone else a "co host", and that doesn't even require any programming on anyone's part. This concept is as easy as just writing the person's name on the hub <_< (Co-Host: Account_Name_Here). My idea of a "co host" is someone who will continue hosting my game after the main host's connection dies, virtually creating a non-ending world. What would be required of this, is the co-host having a copy of the host files for your game as well as your main host. However, the players' savefiles will not be transfered from the main host's computer to your co-host's computer in the event that the main host's connection does die. That would have to happen between the main host and the co-host on their own.

Why do people expect the DM Guide to be a great list of code-examples that fit every category with the description "lul copypaste in ur game nd it works kk" instead of a big learning book to comprehend the language so you can do about anything yourself?

Because they think programming games is very easy; like how it is easy to go from a rip to an "original" game.
