I am using bump for when the arrow hits a mob but all it does is hit the mob and stays there til the mob moves.
obj
    arrow
        icon='GM.dmi'
        icon_state="arrow"
        density=1
mob/verb
    Shoot_Arrow(mob/M in view(0))
        var/obj/arrow/A = new(usr.loc)
        walk(A,usr.dir)
        spawn(15)
            del(A)
        Bump(M)
        if(M!=usr)
            var/hit=src.SPP
            M<<"You were hit by [src]'s arrow for [hit] damage."
            usr<<"You hit by [M] with your arrow for [hit] damage."
            M.Health-=hit
            sleep(5)
            src.SPPexp+=hit
            if(src.SPPexp>=src.SPPexpreq)
                spup(src)
            if(M.Health<=0)
                deathcheck(M)
            del(A)
            sleep(15)
            src.action=0
        else
            return

wow can't believe i did that ohh well fixed that but it still hits a mob and stays there
mob/verb
    Shoot_Arrow(mob/M in view(0))
        var/obj/Quincy/arrow/A = new(usr.loc)
        walk(A,usr.dir)
        spawn(15)
            del(A)
        Bump(M)
        if(!M==usr) 
            var/hit=src.SPP
            M<<"You were hit by [src]'s arrow for [hit] damage."
            usr<<"You hit [M] with your arrow for [hit] damage."
            M.Health-=hit
            sleep(5)
            src.SPPexp+=hit
            if(src.SPPexp>=src.SPPexpreq)
                spup(src)
            if(M.Health<=0)
                deathcheck(M)
            del(A)
            sleep(15)
            src.action=0
        else
            return

That's because putting Bump(M) right in the middle there means it's calling src.Bump() on M. M, in this (and almost every case, because mobs tend not to occupy the same space) will be src / usr. So, you're making the player bump into themselves.

You need to do this:

obj/arrow
  var/mob/owner //you need to set this to the player that fired the arrow when you create it
  Bump(var/mob/M)
    //obviously, only hurt mobs
    if(ismob(M))
      M << "You were hit by [owner]"
      owner << "You hit [M]"
    del(src)

You seem to be doing something odd with Bump(). Look it up in the reference. Bump is called when something can no longer move because a dense object is in its way (it hits something)
I don't know what you're trying to do by calling Bump directly. You probably want something closer to

//The indentation's a little off
obj/Quincy/arrow/A
        Bump(mob/M)
                if(!ismob(M)) return..()
                var/hit=M.SPP
                M<<"You were hit by [src] for [hit] damage."
                M.Health-=hit
                if(M.Health<=0)
                    deathcheck(M)

mob/verb/Shoot_arrow(mob/M in view(0))
                // the other stuff you already have
                src.SPPexp+=hit
                if(src.SPPexp>=src.SPPexpreq)
                    spup(src)

                del(A)
                spawn(15)
                    src.action=0


Actually, it needs more work than that, and that may not even compile, but hopefully it gives you a better idea of how to use Bump.

I was doing great til i got to the part with the owner part all my things that should be owner are becoming undefined. here is what i got. sorry if it is wrong
obj/Quincy
    arrow
        icon='GM.dmi'
        icon_state="arrow"
        density=1
        Bump(var/mob/M)
            if(!M==owner)   
                var/hit=owner.SPP
                M<<"You were hit by [owner]'s arrow for [hit] damage."
                owner<<"You hit [M] with your arrow for [hit] damage."
                M.Health-=hit
                sleep(5)
                owner.SPPexp+=hit
                if(owner.SPPexp>=owner.SPPexpreq)

                if(M.Health<=0)
                    deathcheck(M)
                del(src)
                sleep(15)
                owner.action=0

mob/verb
    Shoot_Arrow(mob/M in view(0))
        var/obj/Quincy/arrow/A = new(usr.loc)
        walk(A,usr.dir)
        A:owner=usr

Try that i'm not fully sure, but I think that will work.

I can't seem to fix this
obj/Quincy
    arrow
        icon='GM.dmi'
        icon_state="arrow"
        density=1
        New()
            spawn(15)
                del(src)
        Bump(var/mob/M)
            if(ismob(M))
                var/hit=owner.SPP
                M<<"You were hit by [owner]'s arrow for [hit] damage."
                owner<<"You hit [M] with your arrow for [hit] damage."
                M.Health-=hit
                
                owner.SPPexp+=hit
                if(owner.SPPexp>=owner.SPPexpreq)
                    owner.spup(owner)
                if(M.Health<=0)
                    M.deathcheck(M)
            del(src)
            
mob/verb
    Shoot_Arrow(mob/M in view(0))
        var/obj/Quincy/arrow/A = new(usr.loc)
        walk(A,usr.dir)
        usr.action=1
        A:owner=usr
        usr.action=0
obj/Quincy/arrow/var/tmp/mob/owner=null
currently i can delete the obj and not call deathcheck or call deathcheck and have the arrow remain and continue.

Garthor and popfizzy can act real conceited and grumpy at times just be patient.

I know how you feel but people try to be nice in different ways so just adapt.....

Please don't make failed attempts to jump into my psyche. I know I'm just another member of this community, and if I were to dissapear the most change might be someone taking notice and asking where I went, which is hardly conceited. What I know for certain is that Sado's help is hardly helpful, and he shouldn't be posting it. You seem to imply that what I told him was entirely unfounded, yet you haven't, as far as I can tell, shown any real competency in DM, and therefore have no opinion on what is good code and what isn't. It'd be like me criticizing a German book.
