Code:
turf
    Nomonsterpass
        Entered(O)
            if(istype(usr,/mob/enemies))
                return 1
            else
                return 0


Problem description:
Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a turf wich players and/or npc's can walk threw but monsters cant. For example i made a town and at the entrance of this town i want to place these turfs so monsters cant walk in. Now i came up so far with the code above but the only problem is my monsters just walk threw it everything can actually so i was wondering if someone could help me out with this one?

Greetings,

A few things of note: You should be using Enter() instead of Entered(). Enter() initially determines if something can even step on a tile in the first place, while Entered() is an event fired after Enter() is called.

Secondly, usr isn't safe to use in Enter[ed]() as usr isn't always going to be what you expect.

Finally, return 1 would allow anything to pass, regardless of the tile's density or if something else is occupying it.

turf
    Enter(mob/m)
        if(istype(m, /mob/enemies)) return FALSE

        return ..()

Thank you very much for your quick respond, i fixed it and i now understand more about the enter[ed] commands.
