Skill example:
            Train()
                set waitfor = FALSE
                set category = "Skills"
                usr << output("You have attempted to train.","chat")
                if(stopState())
                    return FALSE
                if(state != STATE_TRAINING)
                    state = STATE_TRAINING
                    state2 = NULL_STATE
                    icon_state = "Training"
                else
                    nullState()
                    training = FALSE
                while(state == STATE_TRAINING)
                    if(energy <= 5)
                        training = FALSE
                        usr << output("You have run out of energy.","chat")
                        nullState()
                    else
                        usr << output("You are training and have [energy] energy.","chat")
                        training = TRUE
                        energy -= 5
                        var/stat = pick(stats)
                        if(stat == "energy")
                            if(prob(50))
                                maxEnergy += (maxEnergy / 100) * energyGain
                                world << output("You now have [maxEnergy] max energy.","chat")
                        else
                            var/statM = stat + "M"
                            if(vars[stat] < (vars[statM] * statCap))
                                vars[stat] += 1 * statGain
                        sleep(50)

Loading
        Load()
            var/savefile/F = new("Saves/Players/[ckey].is")
            if(fexists("Saves/World/World.is"))
                Read(F)
                var/xo
                var/yo
                var/zo
                F["X"] >> xo
                F["Y"] >> yo
                F["Z"] >> zo
                loc = locate(xo,yo,zo)
                stateLoads()
            else
                Character()



Problem description:
When using Train, it works fine - however, saving, logging off, then loading will not make the user continue from where he left off (training). Rather, it just keeps their state as frozen and does nothing.

How would I make it so that whatever they were last doing is continued?

You'd either want to not save their state and let them continue themselves, or check their state after loading and call the appropriate action.

In response to Nadrew
Would that require moving the Train() stuff into a separate proc then, to call if their state is checked and it is STATE_TRAINING?

You could add some kind of override system that will skip the state checks when first being loaded (when manually calling Train())
