area
    Safe
        icon='turfs.dmi'
        icon_state="Safe"
        name=""
        density=0
        Enter(mob)
            usr.safe=1
        Exit(mob)
            usr.safe=0

I thought I could be slick and make it easy but I guess not.....Another way?

Enter(/mob)
usr.safe=1
Exit(/mob)
usr.safe=0

Maybe that?

Anyway, what's wrong with it?
What's it meant to do?
What is it doing?
What is it not doing?

IT is meant so when the mob enters that var is given and wen that var is True he can't attack.Is it is false then he can.
-----------EDIT--------
Also I jsut get a duplicate definition when I put the "/" in,

Enter() and Exit() are used to determine whether something is allowed to enter or exit the location. You return true if it is allowed, false (or nothing) if it isn't. What you're doing there is not allowing anything to enter or exit that area.

You want to use Entered() and Exited() in this case. These are only called after something sucessfully enters or exits the location in question.

Lemme see..
area
    Safe
        icon='turfs.dmi'
        icon_state="Safe"
        name=""
        density=0
        Entered(mob/M)
            M.safe=1
        Exited(mob/M)
            M.safe=0

try that, if it doesnt work then try:
area
    Safe
        icon='turfs.dmi'
        icon_state="Safe"
        name=""
        density=0
        Enter(mob)
            ..()
            usr.safe=1
        Exit(mob)
            ..()
            usr.safe=0

otherwise, its probably just an error in your fight verb when it checks to see if they are safe or not.
