Ease's Site - Clicking in an area

Clicking in an area - detectable? in Developer Help

Ease	I've read around, but I can't find an answer. Is it possible to detect which area a click is in?

Couldn't you just do it like this?

turf
    Click()
        usr << "You clicked [src]!"

Or were you looking for something different?

EDIT: Nevermind, I understand the question now. Nevermind what I said :)

Then I tried this:

atom
    var/owner
    Click()
        if(owner)
            world<<"You clicked the area: [owner]"
area
    New()
        ..()
        for(var/atom/a in src)
            a.owner = src
    this
    that

Of course there's probably a better way...

Indeed there is.

turf
    Click()
        usr << "You clicked [src.loc]"

The loc of a turf is the area it belongs to.

Ease	Well yeah I knew that, but apart from that... lol. My bad! Thanks Nadrew; you are a genius! ~Ease~
