I am currently making a MUD, using the map maker in dream maker and use turfs to control exits and areas to control descriptions and else..

stuck at figuring out how to get it to display the areas description when you enter the turf...

Also if you see errors in my code.. Please explain.. It al works properly.. just dont know how to get area var to display see how I am using turf to enter already. and when I add Enter to Area it doesnt let me move into any spaces.

turf
    var
        list/Exits // Exit list
        list/Enters // Enter list

    Exit(atom/M)
        if(src.Exits.len<=0)
            ..()
        else
            if(src.Exits.Find(usr.dir))
                return ..()
            else
                ..()
    Enter(atom/M)
        if(src.Enters.len<=0)
            ..()
        else
            if(src.Enters.Find(usr.dir))
                return ..()
            else
                ..()

AREAS

area
    var/description = "BASICS!"

    ShintolTemple
        Hallway
            name = "Shintol Temple Hallway"
            description = "Your in the Hallway of the Shintol Temple."

turf.loc is usually an area, I think.

So another question..
area
    icon = 'Rooms.dmi'
    icon_state = "UnusedArea"
    invisibility = 9
    layer = OBJ_LAYER +1
    var/description = "BASICS!"
    Entered(var/mob/M)
        if(istype(M))
            usr << "<font color = white>[name]"
            usr << "<font color = white>[description]"
            usr << "<font color = white>[Exits]"
        else
            return 1


turf
    var
        list/Exits // Exit list
        list/Enters // Enter list

    Exit(atom/M)
        if(src.Exits.len<=0)
            ..()
        else
            if(src.Exits.Find(usr.dir))
                return ..()
            else
                ..()
    Enter(atom/M)
        if(src.Enters.len<=0)
            ..()
        else
            if(src.Enters.Find(usr.dir))
                return ..()
            else
                ..()
//----
    ZEROExit
        icon = 'Rooms.dmi'
        icon_state = "noexit"
        Exits = list()
        Enters = list()
    //------
    North
        NExit
            icon = 'Rooms.dmi'
            icon_state = "n"
            Exits = list(NORTH)
            Enters = list(SOUTH)


How do I get the
usr << "<font color = white>[Exits]"
to actually output the Turf list Exits?

You should not be using usr here, or in Enter() or Exit(). You should be using M instead.

The argument to Enter() and Exit() should also technically be atom/movable/M, not atom/M, though that's not causing any issues at the moment.

If you want to block movement in Exit() or Enter(), put "return 0", not just "..()".

To display a list, you'll need to loop through it. So, something like:

if(Exits.len)
  M << "Exits are: [Exits[1]]\..."
  for(var/v = 2 to Exits.len)
    M << ", [Exits[v]]\..."
  M << ""
