Code:
obj
    abnormal
        Tau_Ship
            Orca_Computer
                verb
                    Go_To_Planet()
                        set src in oview(1)
                        for(var/turf/Tau_Ship/O in world)
                            O.z = 4
                        usr.z = 4


Problem description:
Verbs.dm:1494:error:O.z:cannot change constant value

If I set it for objs of that type, it works fine. (Yes, I have objects and turfs of the /Tau_Ship type)

you cant move turfs using that code. make your ship out of objs and you can move those.

I tried, but the objects are moved into a different order.(Floors on top)

Could you direct me to where I can find how to change turf z?

Thank you.

you need to use the locate() statement.

from what I understand, you want to locate a mob, (player), to a turf (the ship)

this should do.

so: 
for(var/turf/Tau_ship/O in world)
       usr.loc=locate(O.x,O.y,O.z)


If this is not what kind of thing your looking for, then please tell us.

You can't change a turfs locations. Make it an object.

Yeah, I wanted the mob and the turfs to move, thanks anyway.


I tried objects, but the objects keep changing order so floors end up on top of racks and guns. Any way to correct this? I don't think I need layers...

Moving Turfs is not possible, turfs cant move.

Only Mob's and Obj's can be moved after compiling.
(Thats why they are called movable atoms)

I think you do . . .

What you can do is save the turfs statistics to a variable and use turf=locate(1,1,1) and whatnot. It's sort of a basic in turf saving.

Yeah, thanks everyone, I got it to work, and I did end up using layers...
