1.how do I make it take out damage,2.whenever it reaches a turf that u can enter it spams alot how do I fix that?

Edit:I wanna make it so the Attack deals damage to a mob that it bumps into and I want to make it so if it bumbs into a Enter() turf no errors apear.

i can only answer one question

to take out dammage

hitpoints -= damage /* takes the hitpoints var and subtracts the damage var from it*\

You've got a whole bunch of stuff there that quite frankly doesn't make sense. How about you write out, in english, what is supposed to be happening, and then maybe we can provide some advice?

Let's start there. Obviously, you're doing something downright stupid in Enter(). Here are a few possibilities:

1) You're using usr. This is Wrong.
2) You are using the colon operator. This is Wrong.
3) You are defining the argument to Enter() as a type without checking it. As an example:
mob/var/canEnter = 0

turf/locked/Enter(mob/M)
  if(M.canEnter) return 1
  else return 0

Note the lack of any istype() checks. This is Wrong. Just because you call it a mob, doesn't make it a mob.

Here's a right way to do it:

turf/locked/Enter(mob/M)
  if(istype(M)) //if M is the type we said it is (in this case, /mob)
    if(M.canEnter) return 1
    else return 0
  else return 0


(Redundancy for clarity, anybody looking to get their jollies by saying "oh Garthor you could've done that with fewer lines of code" look elsewhere)

Without actually seeing your code I'm not sure what, exactly, your problem is, but I'm quite seriously willing to bet all the cash in my wallet that it's one of those three.

That's $4, by the way.

I wanna make it so the Attack deals damage to a mob that it bumps into

attack
  parent_type = /obj
  //this line means that we can just use /attack/foo and it will work as if it was /obj/attack/foo
  //seriously.  There's only so many times you can type /obj before you go insane.
  var/damage = 0 //damage this attack does
  Bump(atom/A)
    if(istype(A, /mob)) //only damage mobs
      src.attack(A)
    del(src) //always delete ourselves when we bump into something
  proc
    attack(mob/M)
      if(istype(M)) //never hurts to be absolutely sure
        M.hurt(damage) //hurt them
  lightning
    damage = 10
  lightening
    damage = 1
