Awkwardly this code snippet does not work
verb
        say(msg as text)
            set name = "Talk"
            view() << "[name] says, [msg]"
            for(var/obj/electronics/messagenet/O in oview())
                for(var/obj/electronics/messagenet/M in world)
                    M.view() << "[name] says over the MessageNet, [msg]"

Rewrite!

mob/verb/Say(msg as text)
   view() << "[name] says [msg]"
   var/messagenet = 0
   for(var/obj/electronics/messagenet/O in oview())
      messagenet = 1
      break
   if(messagenet)
      for(var/obj/electronics/messagenet/M in world)
         oview(M) << "[name] says over the MessageNet, [msg]"
No, that probably doesn't help, but I felt like doing it anyway.

Not sure if it's the only thing, but your last line should have view(M), not M.view()

In response to Skysaw (#2)
I am using Skysaw's traps and that line does not work correctly. It gives a warning.
mob

        walkwalls
turf
    var/trapped = FALSE // by default turfs are not trapped
    Entered()

    for (T in view(0)) // all traps at this location

            T.trigger() // tell the trap to do its stuff!

            icon = "activated"
            placer = usr

Which line is not working? And how is the traps snippet related to your original post? I don't understand.

As a side note, skysaw.traps was a library I released last July, after I had just picked up some BYOND coding. It has not been modified since, and may not work well with changes to BYOND since then.
