Code:
obj/Build/Furniture
    icon = 'Furniture.dmi'

    Chair
        icon_state = "chair"
        DblClick()
            var/mob/M = usr
            
            for(var/obj/O in view(0,M))
                if(!istype(O,/obj/Floors))
                    return
            
            if(M.energy <= 9)
                M << "You don't have enough energy.."
                return
            new/obj/Furniture/Chair(M.loc)
            M.energy -= rand(0,2)
            M.build_exp += rand(1,10)
            M.Build_Level()
            return


Problem description:
I am working on a kind of building game. Most stuff you build, can't be built on top of other objects so I just used this line:

        DblClick()
            var/mob/M = usr
    
            for(var/obj/O in oview(0))
                M << "You need to clear the area fist.."
                return


With the furniture though I wanted to make it so they could build over floors, but not stuff like walls and stuff.

Now everything works, like the walls and such, but the furniture still allows me to build on walls, windows and doors.

Can anyone help me out please?

oview() discludes all objects in the center. It would be smarter to use locate() to try and find objs in a certain area instead.

if(locate(/obj) in M.loc)
  ...

Ok thanks for pointing that out, but it still dosen't fix the problem I am having with the furniture.

To disallow people to build furniture on floors, just check the turf that's in your building location.

if(istype(M.loc, /turf/wall))
  // disallow building

I feel dumb, turns out I was adding the line of code to the wrong thing and thats why it wasn't working... It works now... :/

M.loc is a turf.
if(locate(/obj/Walls) in M.loc) might work better.

Oh, I see. Your walls are objs. You'll have to use <code>locate()</code> to check for any wall objects in the uesr's loc.

if(locate(/obj/Walls) in M.loc)
  // disallow
