obj
   var/tloc
    New()
        ..()
        src.tloc = src.loc
    Del(respawn,respawnt)
        if(respawn)
            spawn(respawnt)
                var/obj/K = new src.type(src)
                K.loc = src.tloc
        ..()
        del src
    deltest
        icon = 'deltest.dmi'
        density=1
        Click()
            src.Del(1,60)

How could I make this kind of (manual-)spawn work?
I've no clue how I should do this. :/
Thanks for any help and the time.

Regards,

Rick

Subzero1	You have to give a value to respawn and respawnt. Or respawn will never become true..

Subzero1	Why don't you just make src.loc=null and then make the src.loc = tloc after respawnt ? It would make things easier and cleaner than deleting and creating new objs.

First of all: when you delete the object, all of its procs end, so the new object doesn't get to be created.

Second: do not try to shoehorn new arguments into Del(). Del() and New() should not be called directly, and you MOST DEFINITELY should not have del(src) in Del(). Fortunately, it doesn't reach that line because Del() finishes the line before, but still.

My suggestion is to make a global respawn() proc, like so:

proc/respawn(var/type, var/atom/location, var/time)
  spawn(time) new type(location)

Then, call that.
