I am haveing trouble makeing a world proc call only one type of its contents but all of that type. like how would i make a world proc call the obj/plopsy/proc for all objects of type obj/plopsy

You are looking for well.. for()

I'm not quite sure about how to call a proc that an obj has though, but ill try.
for(var/obj/plopsy/P in world)
 P.my_proc()


Not sure if that will work though. I usally just call user verbs, I don't put procs in objects, really.

  P.plopsy()

That is, if I understand correctly the name of your proc.

I believe Nadrew's oworld proc was commended for it's efficiency, so I'll model off that.

proc/plopsy_search()
   var/list/List = list()
   for(var/obj/O in world)
      if(!O.istype(/obj/plopsy))
         List += O
   return List


In fact, you could make an argument and tell it search for any specific type.

proc/type_search(type)
   var/list/List = list()
   for(var/obj/O in world)
      if(!O.istype(type))
         List += O
   return List


Then just use it like so: 
   type_search(/mob/player) << "Woohoo!"

You make everything so long and complicated, you know that? :]

Yeah, but it's so much more warm and efficient looking, I'd be proud to have it as part of my code! :oP

Besides, knowing jobe, it's probably safer.

The application of this code supremely flys over my head. I dont get why you would want to know that in a game? Im just to darn ignorant!
