Hi all I know this might seem like a stupid noob question but here goes. I need to initiate the action in the same grid. Here is the code:

area

    Entered()
        src << ""
        src << "<font color=blue><b>[name]</b></font>" //shows name of area
        src << "<font color=blue><i>[desc]</i></font>" //shows desc of area
        usr << "You see:"
        for(var/O as obj|mob in oview())// <-- I need to find mob's in the same grid as me (It's a MUD)
            usr << "\a [O]"

'src' in this case would be the area, so outputting to src isn't gonna do you any good. Using 'usr' in this case is also invalid, you should be using the argument that gets passed to Entered() to determine who is entering.
area
    my_area
        Entered(mob/M)
            if(ismob(M) && M.client) // Makes sure it's actually a mob AND a player.
                M << "You have entered [src.name]!"


As for the second part, since one /area can contain multiple turfs you'll have to loop over the turfs inside of the area, and then loop over the mobs inside of those turfs before outputting something to them.

for(var/turf/T in src)
    for(var/mob/output_to in T)
        output_to << "Some text"

Thanks so much. I knew I was doing something wrong. Or a couple things in this case

One other concern is how do I rule out the usr as one of the mobs in the turf?

if(usr == other_mob) continue
