Here is my code:
for(var/turf/T in block(locate(P.x-8,P.y-8,P.z),locate(P.x+8,P.y,P.z)))

When the code runs in the dream seeker, it's not finding the turfs, but when I use numbers in the locate() proc, it finds the turfs.


For example if I did this:
for(var/turf/T in block(locate(1,1,1),locate(17,8,1))

It would work fine, but I want it to search the block of turfs dynamically, but it just won't work.

That should work... Maybe tell us what P is in your code? For example, if P is an obj in something's contents, then it has no x,y, or z coordinates.

Objects have x,y and z.
P was /mob/player/P

And I figured it out, the locate() proc was going out of the map boundries which caused an error.

Thus why you should use the min() and max() procs
