Hello again.
I wanted to know how to control another object or mob dynamically instead of like this: 
mob/var/tmp/t1move//If this var isnt null then they are moving something.
client
    East()//The direction I am moving it in
        if(usr.t1move == 1)//Could have been just if(usr.t1move) but I trimmed my code down so that it only had one ship in it.
            for(var/Ship/Ship1/M in world)//    The ship
                if(usr.client.eye == M)//Make sure they are watching the ship
                    step(M,EAST)//Moving part
        else//If thy arnt actually moving it or are just watching it
            ..()<dm>

I tried calling Move() for another object when the player moves but nothing happend any ideas? I might not reply for awhile though but I appreciate any help.

aha, I have found a way of doing this using some code and I am going to post it now incas anyone else is having trouble.
mob/Move(NewLoc,Dir)
    if(src.client)
        if(src.client.eye != src)
            var/Tardis/M
            for(var/Tardis/T in view(0,usr.client))
                if(T.IsTardis)
                    M = T
                    break
                if(!T.IsTardis)
                    ..()
            step(M,Dir)
            return 0
        else
            ..()
    else
        ..()


There may be some bugs in this code, the IsTardis is a variable that if is positive meens that the ship or whatever can be moved.
