in this code

proc/shockwave_hit(mob/M)
  var/obj/gold/g = new (M.loc)
  if(M.gold>0) g.amount = rand(1,M.gold)
  M.gold -= g.amount
<dm/>

who looses the gold?

the person it hits i beleive(if you have something else to go with that) otherwise it needs to be defined...like,for example: 
mob/verb/Shockwave(mob/M in oview(6))

mob/M is whoever you happen to send as an argument through the proc shockwave_hit(mob/M). My guess is the proc runs when the shockwave bumps into something, and finds it to be a mob?

  M.gold -= g.amount
  usr.gold+=g.amount

err... 
proc/shockwave_hit(mob/M)
  var/obj/gold/g = new (M.loc)
  if(M.gold>0) g.amount = rand(1,M.gold)
  M.gold -= g.amount
  src.gold+=g.amount

better?

proc/shockwave_hit(mob/M)
  var/obj/gold/g=new(M.loc)
  g.amount=rand(1,M.gold)
  M.gold-=g.amount
  gold+=g.amount
  if(M.gold<0)M.gold=0

Better.

still getting the same output

golddrop.dm:7:error:gold:undefined var

it is defined in my other scripts, is there a problem of syntax?

Is the procedure defined under /mob? I doubt it is.

The problem: gold isn't defined as a var. /obj/gold needs a var called gold.

No. No, no, no.

The problem is that there is no "src". So you try to access src.gold and, surprise surprise, you get an error.

What needs to happen here is that shockwave_hit() needs to be defined under /mob, like this:

mob/proc/shockwave_hit(mob/M)
  var/amount = rand(1,M.gold)
  M.gold -= amount
  src.gold += amount
  world << "[src] hits [M] with a shockwave, receiving [amount] gold!"


Then src will exist. Note that you must call shockwave_hit() "on" the mob that gets the gold.

I also removed the /obj/gold, since we don't want to drop a gold object; we're just giving the gold directly to a different player.

In response to Crispy
I'm getting this
golddrop.dm:6:error:src.gold:undefined var

I've put all the code here:

feel free to mess it about, it doesn't work...yet

You had just
proc/shockwave_hit()
It should be mob/proc/shockwave_hit(mob/M)

youre right but as you may have seen I get

Shockwave.dm:53:error:shockwave_hit:undefined proc
Shockwave.dm:54:error:shockwave_hit:undefined proc

The plot thickens!!

Can you double-click those errors and post the blocks of code they are in? That might help.

By the way, I can't beleive it took so long to identify the src and usr part in giving the gold. Then Crispy finally comes and clears it up. Jp also gave some insight.
