I'm making a text-based RPG, and I want to know how to manually name areas so that I can have areas with the same name. Can someone help? Also, how do I make GM's?

Like this:

area
    grass_A
        name="grass"
    grass_B
        name="grass"


If you need administrators, I recommend hub://Spuzzum.s_admin

I tried doing

area1
       name = "name blah blah"

But it didn't work.

When I run it, instead of displaying what I set as name, it says 'area1'

That could be a problem somewhere else in your code, I don't really know. =/
The way Wizzie was showing it, it should've worked.

Show us the code you're using to display the area name.

world
    New()
        for (var/Atype in typesof(/area))
            var/area/A = new Atype
            A.tag = A.name

        ..()

area
    var
        north
        south
        east
        west
    place1
                   name = "Staircase_in_front_of_the_Halls_of_Aldurin"
        desc = "Yes, a description goes here"
        north = "Halls of Aldurin"
    Town_Hall_of_Westinon
        desc = "and this"
    Dwarven_Halls_of_Stone
        desc = "a description"
    Elven_Temple_of_the_Wood
        desc = "wutever"
    Halls_of_Aldurin
        desc = "hmm."

There's one part, and then theres:

Move(area/A)
        ..()
        src << "<b>[A.name]</b>"
        src << A.desc
        src << "People here:   \..."
        for (var/mob/M in A)
            if (M == src) src << "You   \..."
            else src << "[M]   \..."

That part's under my mob code.

Er, the name part under the list of ares should be the same indentation as desc and exits. Sorry.

Well, first of all, there's an indentation mistake here:

area
    place1
                   name = "Staircase_in_front_of_the_Halls_of_Aldurin"
        desc = "Yes, a description goes here"
        north = "Halls of Aldurin"


It should be:

area
    place1
        name = "Staircase_in_front_of_the_Halls_of_Aldurin"
        desc = "Yes, a description goes here"
        north = "Halls of Aldurin"


However, you really ddon't need the underscores in place/name either (irrelevant to the problem, but important that you know it):

area
    place1
        name = "Staircase in front of the Halls of Aldurin"
        desc = "Yes, a description goes here"
        north = "Halls of Aldurin"


Seraph, ZBT isn't meant to be copied and pasted anyway. You're supposed to learn from it, but not to steal it!

If you read my next reply down, you'll see that I realized the indentation, and if you're saying I stole it because some of my code is identical to ZBT's, I just copied that part, because this is my first game. This is actually the thing I used to follow along with the tutotial, so, my later games will have me programming, not just coppying like this one.

And the underscores were from me trying to fix the problem myself, but I forgot to change it back.

Well anyway, Wiz, thanks for the advice anyway, I'll keep it in mind. ^^
