Hey Guys, I'm adding a housing system in my game, but I came across a problem, I added Hit Markers to rent and enter apartment which can be used to lock doors, the problem is, when I rent the apartment only the entry marker gets rented and the interior marker stays the same. I would like to rent the apartment and have both markers change to being rented by the owner...

I have a lot of pictures for the problem. And I'll leave my coding for you to look at.

Pictures:

This is a Picture of me Editing the Hit Markers using the Mapping Tool:

This is a Picture of me Hitting the Marker and Renting the Apartment:

This Next Picture is where the real problem is, I rented the apartment but the interior is still trying to rent it out.:

And this is a Picture of me inside showing that the other marker didn't get rented out:

This is my Code:
//HEY EVERYONE... I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOUSING SYSTEM WORKING, AND I'M CLOSE HOWEVER I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MATCH TO OF THE HIT MARKERS
//TOGETHER SO THE APARTMENT MARKERS SHOW UP AS BEING RENTED ON BOTH SIDES.
//I HOPE YOU CAN HELP.
//THANK YOU.

I think what you want to do is centralize your apartment operations. An example of what I mean:

var/global/apartment_managers[] = list()

proc/get_apartment_manager(id)
    return global.apartment_managers && global.apartment_managers[id]


// our object used to centralize apartment operations
apartment_manager
    var/price = 0
    var/tmp/mob/owner
    
    New(id)
        apartment_managers[id] = src


turf
    apartment_door
        var/id
        var/tmp/apartment_manager/apartment_manager
        
        New()
            ..()
            apartment_manager = get_apartment_manager(id) || new(id)


In this way, you would use apartment_manager to store important information, and use your apartment-related turfs as action interfaces.

Thanks for helping, but the Apartment Door is more just for a visual of an apartment, its actually:

turf
     Markers/ApartmentRent
/*Its actually this turf I want to fix, they are markers
that allow you to enter and exit a room, in the future 
it would bring them to a different Z coordinate on the 
map.

In order to enter the apartment you have to Bump into
 the /turf/Markers/ApartmentRent, however when you buy 
it from the outside the Marker on the inside is still available for rent.*/

Is there any way you can compare the last code with this scenerio?

You can apply the same concept to your apartment markers. That's a typo on my part, as I meant to put apartment_rent.
