No digging holes in the river bed!

mob/verb/Dig()
     for(var/turf/River in locate(src.x,src.y,src.z)) return
     // do dig stuff

It would seem to me that the little snippet above would keep a mob from using dig while in the river. However, you can dig just like normal! How do I keep somebody from digging in the river?

var/turf/T = locate(src.x,src.y,src.z)
if(istype(T, /turf/River)) return


That should work.

The reason you're having trouble is that you're searching for a turf within a turf's contents. This isn't possible, so there will never be a /turf/River in the contents of the turf returned by locate().

The problem is that your variable isn't of type River, it's just called river, you'd have to do it like this:

for(var/turf/River/R in locate(src.x,src.y,src.z)) return

That would work because locate simply returns the location of whatever is calling locate. In this case it's a mob so the location will be a turf (unless you like putting mobs in bags that is...).
