Code:
client
    proc
        Load()
         var/firstletter=copytext(usr.ckey, 1, 2)
            if(usr == usr)
                var/savefile/load
                load = new ("players/[firstletter]/[src.ckey].sav")
                load["mob"] >> src.mob
                load["x"] >> src.mob.x
                load["y"] >> src.mob.y
                load["z"] >> src.mob.z
                



        Save()
         var/firstletter=copytext(usr.ckey, 1, 2)
         if(usr == usr)
                var/savefile/save
                save = new ("players/[firstletter]/[src.ckey].sav")
                save["mob"] << src.mob
                save["x"] << src.mob.x
                save["y"] << src.mob.y
                save["z"] << src.mob.z


Problem description:Every time I call the Load() proc it loads,then does the Login() proc again.

You need to check wether the player HAS a save file. Otherwise it'll load blank. Look up fexists()

Yeah it exists and it loads the players spot but then it calls the Login() again

I don't know what the problem is, but here is a copy of my Save file, it works fine, if you want to use that

<dm>
mob
proc
Save()
var/savefile/F=new("./Save Files/[src.ckey].sav")
src.Write(F)
F["lastx"] << src.x
F["lasty"] << src.y
F["lastz"] << src.z
Load()
var/savefile/F=new("./Save Files/[src.ckey].sav")
src.Read(F)
var/newX
var/newY
var/newZ
F["lastx"] >> newX
F["lasty"] >> newY
F["lastz"] >> newZ
src.loc=locate(newX,newY,newZ)

Any time a client connects to a new mob is calls the Login() proc.

and what can I do to stop that from happening?

I'd say, instead of Read(), load the mob from the savefile.

How do I do that?
