Is it possible to have a mob be randomly located ANYWHERE on the map using tags, like when somone dies or something. I know how to do it just using coordinatees, but I don't know how to do it this way. Can somone point me in the right direction please?
Thank You

he said he knew how to do it with numbers, or coords, he wants to use TAGS!

Try this...
mob/proc/Die() var/xx = rand(1,world.maxx) var/yy = rand(1,world.maxy) var/zz = rand(1,world.maxz) src.loc = locate(xx,yy,zz) It should work! |

Well....it didn't :(. If i bump into the mob, it disappears, but it gets taken to another map. Here's the coding.....
mob Bump(mob/M as mob in view(1)) if(istype(M,/mob/Apple)) var/x = rand(1,world.maxx) var/y = rand(1,world.maxy) var/z = rand(1,world.maxz) M.loc = locate(x,y,z) What's wrong with it? |

If you really don't like coordinants you could do it like this RandomMove(mob/M) { var/testloc while(!isturf(testloc)) testloc = world.contents[rand(1,length(world.contents))] M.loc = testloc } Just make sure you have atleast one turf in world.contents :). |

Yes, but at least i read them now, or dont even bother. A majority of the younger people at byond dont have good grammer, it isnt their fault, because maybe they haven't been taught good grammer yet. So its often hard to understand what someone is trying to say, or "mean".

If they dropped out at the age of 8 or something, its not. Alathon |

If they dropped at 8 it's very much their fault. The sad thing is that, in most situations, people don't know what's good grammar/spelling and what isn't. Know why? Because their parents don't spell things right or use correct grammar.

Look on the bright side. When enough semi-literates adopt an incorrect grammar style, the English language changes to accomodate them! One of these days "you" will be considered an archaic form of "u", just as "thou" is now an archaic form of "you".

I have yet to see, in my small life of 14 years a grown up write a letter in a format as such: "Hey pops, ho bout me n u go fishin' out da pond over lake 10 miles down street?" Alathon |
