Code:
mob
    admin
        verb
            Take_Rank(var/M in SPlayers)
                set name = "Take Rank"
                set category = "Staff"
                set desc = "Take the rank from a character"
                if(ctype=="Shinigami")
                    Captain = 0
                    Lieutenant = 0
                    Member = 1
                    usr.overlays -= 'CaptainSuit.dmi'
                    usr.overlays -= 'CaptainSuit2.dmi'
                    usr.overlays -= 'CaptainSuit3.dmi'
                    usr.overlays -= 'CaptainSuit4.dmi'
                    SPlayers -= M
                    usr.rank = "Member "
                    world << output ("<font color=yellow>[usr.name] has been demoted!</font>", "OOC")


Problem description: That's only a small part of the code to save for time. My problem is that in my "Give Rank" verb, if they are a Shinigami, they get a CaptainS in the usr's loc. How do I delete the Captain suit from their inventory when I use this verb?

var/obj/CaptainS/x = locate() in M
if(x) del(x)

It says it cannot remove the mob from list...

runtime error: cannot remove from list
proc name: Take Rank (/mob/admin/verb/Take_Rank)
usr: Kyotoshi Takahashi (/mob)
src: Kyotoshi Takahashi (/mob)
call stack:
Kyotoshi Takahashi (/mob): Take Rank(Kyotoshi Takahashi (/mob))

Thanks, I figured out a method to get it working. Onto my next problem, XD

Yeah, that second one won't work because type paths are not object instances.
