Hi all. I have tried looking up this problem but I can't seem to get a straight solution for it. The screen goes blank when I run this code:

    var/canmove = 0

    Move()
        if(canmove == 0)
            return
        if(canmove == 1)
            sleep 5
            canmove = 1
            ..()

Unless you're placing the players on the map via loc = locate(), this will prevent the player from being placed at Login(). This is due to setting canmove to 0 by default.

mob
   var
      tmp
         canmove = TRUE

   Move()
      if(!canmove)
         return FALSE

      return ..()

So how would I write that code? something like this:

mob

    loc = locate(1,1,1)
    var
        tmp
            canmove = TRUE

    Move()
        if(!canmove)
            return FALSE

        return ..()


I'm not sure how I would implement the locate() proc. Excuse me if I'm being such a newbie at this lol

You would place 
loc = locate(1,1,1)
in either the mob/New() proc or in the mob/Login() proc.
