area
    grasslands
        var
            Location = "grasslands"



wondering how you would put the Location info into your stats as
stat("Location: [Location]")


or if you cant do that then giving an obj a location var?
turf
    grass
        grass1
            icon = 'grass.dmi'
            icon_state = "grass1"
                        Location = "grasslands"
                var
                        Location = ""

Check the player's area or turf that they're on and display it's location var by setting a var for that player to their location's location var

The location of an atom (a type which encompasses areas, turfs, objs, and mobs) is stored in the loc variable.

You can use the . operator to access members of an object instance. For example, X.loc accesses the loc of X.

The location of a mob is generally a turf. The location of a turf is the area it belongs to.

Use areas to swap peoples locations.

area

   Locations

      Entered()
         usr.location=src.name

      Mainland
      Desert
      Frozen_Tundra

Don't use usr in procs. The proper way to do what you are trying to do is:

Entered(var/mob/M)
  if(ismob(M))
    M.location = src.name

mob/var/Location="None"

area
    grasslands
        Enter(A)
          if(usr.client)
            usr.Location = "grasslands"


stat("Location: [Location]")


Or as you also listed...
mob/var/Location="None"

turf
    grass
        grass1
            icon = 'grass.dmi'
            icon_state = "grass1"
               Enter(A)
                  if(usr.client)
                        usr.Location = "grasslands"


Oh, and btw. Did this on my iPod 4G. I think I deserve a BIG thanks?

And if it has errors tell me. I'll compile it myself and fix it up.

Don't use usr in procs. Especially movement procs such as Enter(). You should be using the procedure's argument (which, of course, you wrote in and then never used).

You also shouldn't be using Enter() here at all, but Entered() instead.

You also just plain don't need to do this at all, because you can just look at loc.loc whenever you feel like it. Like so:

mob
  Stat()
    var/area/A = loc.loc
    if(istype(A))
      stat("Location: [A.name]")
