Code:
obj/Roof
    appearance_flags  =KEEP_TOGETHER
    layer=MOB_LAYER+1
    icon = 'stssf.dmi'
    density = 0
    New()
        ..()
        for(var/turf/v in view(1))
            v.vis_contents += new src.type
            world<<"sucess"
        del(src)
    Cross()
        Hide()
        return 1
    Uncross()
        Show()
        return 1
    proc
        Hide()
            world<<"hide"
            for(var/obj/v in range(5))
                animate(v, alpha = 0, time = 5)
        Show()
            for(var/obj/v in range(5))
                animate(v, alpha = 255, time = 5)


Problem description:Hello, I'm trying to make house Roofs with vis_contents but it's not working the way that I was thinking. It's not adding to the turf vis contents the obj type. What I can do?

Hi, I have seen them and I'm trying to do this exact same effect with vis_contents
according to the author, this method is unacceptable because vis_contents

Just at a glance, you're adding src.type to vis_contents, and not src itself.

hi Nadrew, I already tried
        for(var/turf/v in view(1))
            v.vis_contents += src
and for some reason it still dont work :/

You're literally calling del(src) in New(), what do you expect to happen there?

To elaborate: The object has to exist to be visible within vis_contents, if you delete it, it won't have anything to show.

Like I would like to it be on the place where it be created but as a vis_content for the turf,so it will create a roof effect (like if one person enters this way the whole obj will become alpha 0 and not only the one for the client) because this I tried to create a new type.
        for(var/turf/v in view(1))
            v.vis_contents += new src
I tried this way but I still cant see the obj

You're still not adding the object properly. You're trying to add a new instance of the object to the tiles, that's probably not ideal since you should only need one copy of the object per structure (if that).

for(var/turf/v in range(1)) // Unless you're relying on opacity, use range() instead of view().
    v.vis_contents += src


As long as the roof object exists it should be visible.

Hey nadrew this actually don't worked with New(), but worked with a verb.
mob/verb/AllTurfs()
    for(var/turf/v in range(5))
        v.vis_contents += new /obj/Roof
But it dont recognize Cross() and Uncross(), it only have a visual effect. I cant even call hide() proc then they're in vis_contents, what I can do?

The name vis_contents literally tells you it's only visual. You'd want your trigger to be a part of the building, not the roof.

Ohhh, I think I've got it
obj/Roof
    icon = 'stssf.dmi'
    appearance_flags  =KEEP_TOGETHER
obj/RoofCheck
    icon = null
    layer=MOB_LAYER+1
    density = 0
    New()
        ..()
        src.vis_contents += new /obj/Roof
        proc/Hide()

I'm making this way and it's working, but, it's making the Roof going to alpha 0 to every client, and I would like it to become alpha 0 just for the one that's entering in the obj, KEEP_TOGETHER would not make something like this?

You'd have to use images if you wanted to show different things to different clients.

In response to Nadrew
should I make this way but like then call Hide() I create an image for every other client but not for yourself or another inside the roof?
