By default, it stops the player from moving.

Okay... let me be more descriptive...
I really want to learn how to make it so "Center" makes the person do things... as in Open Doors.
=/
I hope that's more descriptive.

opening doors..... i don't think that involves a client action. i believe that uses a mob/Bump() action.

Center proc (client)
See also:
walk proc
Format:
Center()
When:
Called when the player presses the "center" key or cursor.
Default action:
Cancels any automated movement by calling walk(usr,0).

You can thank mr. Reference, and yeah its a proc in Client according to the reference

client
     Center()
            var/turf/door/D
            var/Dloc = locate(D.x-1,D.y,D.z)
            if(mob.loc==Dloc)
                 D.open()


That basicly means that if the door is on the right of the client, then it'll call the open process.

Erm... I mean like..
obj
 Door
  icon_state = "asdf"
   Center()
    //Insert door coding here

That's what I mean. X_X

That brings up horrid errors(In-game) whenever the user presses the center key... X_x

it would help you'd tell us those errors.

The reference is your friend.
http://www.byond.com/docs/ref/info.html#/client/proc/Center

If you want help you need to be a bit more specific as to what you don't understand.

<font color = red>runtime error: Cannot read null.x
proc name: Center (/client/Center)
usr: Hell Ramen (/mob)
src: Hell Ramen (/client)
call stack:
Hell Ramen (/client): Center()</font>
x_x And that's what it says...

It can be triggered by whatever you want.

Oh sorry

client
    Center()
        for(var/client/C)//make a variable for the client
            for(var/turf/door/D in world)//checks for the door
                if(get_dist(C.mob,D) <= 1)//if the distance between the client and the door is less than or equal to 1...
                    D.open()//call the process to open it. you could also add the door's opening process here if you wanted.
turf/door               
    proc
        open()//the door's opening process
            world << "Change this to the actual opening code"

In response to DeathAwaitsU
That is just lag waiting to happen, and will(would) be abused if they caught it. Why loop through all the worlds contents to check for the door, then check the mobs distance from it when you could just loop through the objects in a certain view of the mob?

Ok then

client
    Center()
        for(var/client/C)//make a variable for the client
            for(var/turf/door/D in oview(1))//checks for the door
                 D.open()//call the process to open it. you could also add the door's opening process here if you wanted.
turf/door               
    proc
        open()//the door's opening process
            world << "Change this to the actual opening code"
Aug 24 2004, 5:31 pm
In response to DeathAwaitsU
 
client
    Center()
        for(var/client/C)
            for(var/obj/door/D in oview(1)
                D.open
obj
    door                
        proc
            open()//the door's opening process
                usr << "Whee, test"

And the errors I get...
Game Test.dm:5:error:open :undefined proc
Game Test.dm:5:error::invalid expression
Which is defined as the "D.open" part...
Thanks for your help so far. =/
