I don't know how to go about this... in Developer Help

I'm adding a custom clan to a Naruto game of mine that involves the usage of Genjutsu though tags. My problem: I want someone to STEP on it to automatically trigger the tag, and will send the target to a genjutsu. I can locate them fine, but I need to know what I have to do so when someone steps on it...Any ideas?

EDIT:
I'd appreciate an explination on how to do so, if possible. Giving me the codes is no good if I don't understand it...

Not sure If I'm right, but maybe if you use the Bump Proc so when they bump into it KABOOM or something, not sure

Thanks for the quick reply. However, I just looked into the Bump Proc on Dream Maker, and that's only for swapping positions with a dense object and something else, if I read that right...

I'm going to look through more codes for an idea...I think there might be one...can't remember..

It's not only for swapping positions. It be used for tons of other things. Ex: Bumping into a dense obj can allow a message to be sent.

Here's what I could come up with.

mob/Bump(obj/GenjutsuTag/N)//This calls the bump proc. When the mob bumps into Genjutsu Tag, it'll lead to a series of events.
   if(istype(N))//If it is 'N', meaning if it's the Genjutsu Tag
      var/pos = N.loc// Creates the var 'pos', which means the position of the Genjutsu Tag.
      usr.loc = pos//Your new location will be 'pos', AKA, the Genjutsu tag. Both you and the tag will be on the same coordinates.
      usr.loc= //Genjutus map, that is if you send them to a different for the genjutus or whatever <.<
   else ..()

Hope that helps!

if the ninja in question will be throwing the tags you could edit the thrown objects Bump() proc as they suggested so that when the object strikes a target of type ninja, they will suffer the effects of your genjutsu.
