warp
    parent_type = /area
    test1
        Enter(mob/M)
            M.loc = locate(1,1,1)
            for(var/mob/monster/Q in M.monsters)
                Q.loc = locate(M.loc)


The monsters don't get warped with it. :(
How would you go about doing this?

Don't use locate(M.loc). If a player is on the map, their loc will be a turf.

You've got several parts of this wrong.

warp
    parent_type = /area
    test1
        Enter(mob/M)
            M.loc = locate(1,1,1)
            for(var/mob/monster/Q in M.monsters)
                Q.loc = locate(M.loc)


You're using Enter() instead of Entered(). If you don't want to restrict movement, then use Entered(). The argument shouldn't be mob/M, if you aren't checking if its a mob too. It might be longer, but it is more safer and organized.

The second thing which is wrong is that you're using locate() on a loc. You can just edit the loc manually.

warp
  parent_type = /area
  test2
    Entered(atom/movable/A) // any movable atom can move to it
      if(ismob(A))
        var/mob/M=A // define it as a mob, to use mob atributes
        for(var/mob/monster/Q in M.monsters)
          Q.loc = M.loc // no need to use locate()


If I made any errors, tell me.
