mob
   verb
      build_teleporter(X as num,Y as num,Z as num)
         new/obj/teleporter/O
         O.loc=usr.loc
         O.X=X
         O.Y=Y
         O.Z=Z
obj
   teleporter
      var
         X
         Y
         Z
      Enter(mob/M)
         M.loc=locate(X,Y,Z)
//UNTESTED

mob
   Admin
      verb
         Teleport(X as num,Y as num,Z as num)
            usr.loc= locate(X,Y,Z)


I hope that answers your question! Like I said, the first one is untested, but it should set you on the right path if it doesn't work.

You should be using Entered() on that, but, it's an object, so that won't work. Enter() won't work either.

I think "untested" could have been implied, because this is wrong on several levels. Unless the player tries to enter that obj's contents, which I think is not the case here, its Enter() proc isn't going to be called. What you want to do is have the turf with this obj on it react, since it's the turf that will have Enter() and Entered() called.

Besides that, you used the wrong proc: Entered() applies after the player steps, but Enter() only checks to see if a step is valid and returns true or false.

Given how many times teleporters have been covered on the forums, there are a lot of posts with working code that you could check out. At the very least you should know more about how to do this yourself before trying to help others through it.

I actually thought of making it a turf, but he said he wanted to make it an object *shrugs*
Besides that, I use Entered() in most of my coding, I guess I forgot the -ed in that post.

You could've used Bumped(forum,search,it), it always works. =/

I know what it is. Now, was the fact that I either should have made it a turf or used Bump() or Bumped() the only problems?

Use Bumped() on the object, and set its density to 1.
That would've made the teleport code work.

That's why it's important to think code through. When using an obj, using Enter() or Entered() for that obj was not going to work. A simple test would have confirmed it.

Do you have the verb?

You do have the coding that makes an admin right? I can't remember it offhand, but that is what you would use to access that classification of verbs. That is the only problem I can think of that could stop it from working.
