Applies to:Dream Maker
Status: Redundant
This feature has already been implemented, or is already achievable with existing methods.
I know from experience that making lists on turfs will almost guarantee that there is too much lag and such. Please make a special function to deny lists on any turf procedure, thus!

I don't quite follow. Are you suggesting that the following shouldn't be possible?

turf
    var/list/exampleList = list()

Yes. It causes by far too much lag, and you can only have so many lists.

That won't work, if the map is a certain size you'll exceed the maximum list limit pretty rapidly.

I am saying Deny it in the coding.

In response to Developous
Developers could choose to just not do it. Outright denying it makes no sense, because someone could have a legitimate use for the feature.

I'd suggest this is redundant, simply because it can be emulated / worked around by the developer not specifying new list types on their turfs anyway. For libraries it is more difficult, but I expect a library doing such things would quickly prove unpopular and thus unused.
