Code:
mob
    GM1
        verb
            Rename(var/mob/M in world)
                set category = "GM"
                set desc = "Change A Mob's Name"
                if(!M.key) continue
                var/ID = input("What name do you want to rename [M] as?","Rename",M.name) as text
                if(length(ID) <= 2)
                    src<<"<font color = red> Their name must be longer then 2 characters!"
                else
                    src << "[M]'s name is now [html_encode(ID)]"
                    world << "[M]'s name is now [html_encode(ID)]"
                    M.name = "[html_encode(ID)]"


Problem description:

Well.. Hi everyone.. I'm getting a error.
Codes\Admin.dm:7:error: continue: not in a loop
I know when I make it
var/mob/M
for(M in world)
if(!M.key) continue
that would work.. but if I do that, I can't choose the mob I want to change name to...

"continue" can only be used in a loop. What mob type are you aiming for in particular, just players? If so, it's much easier to just draw them out of a list from client/C, or make your own list as they login and remove them from the list as they logout.

How do I make the list when they log in? Do I put something in the login proc or ???

Simple as this:

var
    list
        players=list()
client
    New()
        ..()
        players.Add(src)
    Del()
        players.Remove(src,null)
        ..()


mob
    verb
        Change_Name(client/C in players)
            set category="GM"
            set desc="Change a player's name"
            if(players.len)
                if((C in players))
                    if(ismob(C.mob))
                        var/mob/M=C
                        var/ID=input("What name do you want to rename [M.name] as?","Rename",M.name) as text|null
                        if(length(ID)<=2)
                            src<<"<font color = red> Their name must be longer then 2 characters!"
                        else
                            if(M)
                                players<< "[M.name]'s name is now [html_encode(ID)]"
                                M.name="[html_encode(ID)]"

okay.. so I did every as told. but in game when I try to use it, I get a runtime error.

Whoops...forgot. Change that variable definition from:

var/mob/M=C



To:

var/mob/M=C.mob
