            var/icon/R = icon('minimap.dmi',"M")  
            for(var/turf/M in range(20,C.mob))  
                if(M.density == 1)
                    if(M.icon_state == "tree")
                        if(get_dist(C.mob,M) < 20 && C.mob.z == M.z && C.mob != M)  
                            var/x = 16-(C.mob.x - M.x)
                            var/y = 16-(C.mob.y - M.y)
                            R.DrawBox(rgb(0,255,0), x, y, x, y) 
                    else
                        if(get_dist(C.mob,M) < 20 && C.mob.z == M.z && C.mob != M)   
                            var/x = 16-(C.mob.x - M.x)
                            var/y = 16-(C.mob.y - M.y)
                            R.DrawBox(rgb(0,255,255), x, y, x, y)  
            for(var/mob/BlackSmith/M in range(20,C.mob))
                if(get_dist(C.mob,M) < 20 && C.mob.z == M.z && C.mob != M)  
                    var/x = 16-(C.mob.x - M.x)
                    var/y = 16-(C.mob.y - M.y)
                    R.DrawBox(rgb(255,0,0), x-1, y-1, x+1, y+1)
            for(var/mob/ShopKeeper/M in range(20,C.mob))
                if(get_dist(C.mob,M) < 20 && C.mob.z == M.z && C.mob != M) 
                    var/x = 16-(C.mob.x - M.x)
                    var/y = 16-(C.mob.y - M.y)
                    R.DrawBox(rgb(255,0,0), x-1, y-1, x+1, y+1)
            C.radar.icon = R 
    spawn(5)
        Update_Radar()

What this code does is updates a minimap, this is just the radar demo edited, BUT for some reason, all the "for(var/turf/M in range(20,C.mob))" doesn't get all all the atoms in a range of 20, it only gets all the atoms in a range of about 10, anyone know why or how I can work around this?

Edit: The only way I can get this to work is to use "in world" which lags my game to much.

range() is limited to 10, for a 21×21 region. You need a solution with block() to go past that.
