It just doesnt work....:

mob/Enemies/Thug
    icon = 'thug_m1.dmi'
    HP = 20
    MAX_HP = 20
    MP = 0
    MAX_MP = 0
    Min_Damage = 2
    Max_Damage = 4
    Strength = 2
    Defense = 0
    AC = 0
    AGI = 1
    DEX = 3
    Gold = 0
    EXP = 0
    EXP_To_Next = 0
    EXP_Give = 20
    Gold_Give = 17
    Drops = "obj/Potion"

mob/proc/Postdeath(mob/Enemies/M)  //These statements can all be overwritten by a more specific type like say /mob/Enemies/Large_Dog.
    //In all of the "Postthis" "Postthat" "Prethis" "Prethat" proc ro whatever, we are using M as the victim, and usr is the attacker.
    //First, lets get rid of the amount of gold specified that they give:
    if(M.Gold_Give > 0)
        var/G = new /obj/Gold(M.loc)    //This creates a new variable, that we can afterward, modify.  It is very important that you know how to do this.
        G:amount = M.Gold_Give       //We use : instead of . because : searches variables that don't include a specific type.
    for(var/D in M.Drops)  //In here, we will search to see if there is any contents in the Drops list that each monster has defined.
        new D(M.loc)   //We want to drop every single thing in the mob's Drops list.  This is how items are dropped.

Using the : operator here is reprehensible. That should be var/obj/Gold/G=new(src), and G.amount instead of G:amount. Never use the colon when the period will do.

Um, your Drops variable isn't a list... I think you meant this

Drops = newlist(/obj/Potion)

WOw that was wierd, i didnt get any errors but when i was playing i killed a thug, and it said:


runtime error: Cannot create objects of type /obj/Potion.
proc name: Postdeath (/mob/proc/Postdeath)
usr: Nave (/mob/PC)
src: Nave (/mob/PC)
call stack:
Nave (/mob/PC): Postdeath(Thug (/mob/Enemies/Thug))
Thug (/mob/Enemies/Thug): DeathCheck()
Nave (/mob/PC): Auto Attack(Thug (/mob/Enemies/Thug))
You hit Thug for 3 points of damage.
Thug was slain by Nave!

Then it died and dropped some gold, but did not drop a potion....
