making a var into a list you can choose from...

How exactly would I go about doing this?

I've tried...

mob/proc/blah()
for(mob/M as mob in src.listed)

then single what I want out with if src.blah==M.blah... etc etc

but this doesn't open the list and give you a mob to choose from so should I do it like this...

mob/proc/blah(mob/M as mob in src.listed)


??


I"m at school soo I can't test it which is why I"m asking I'll be busy most of the day...

Well first of all, you should drop the "as mob" because it's redundant here.
I'm not sure what you mean by opening the list and giving you a mob to choose from; if you wanted to choose a mob from a list, why are you using for() to loop through every mob in the list automatically?

If you mean you want to choose from a list in which every mob meets certain criteria, that you can do:
var/list/L=list()
var/mob/M
for(M in listed)
  if(blah==M.blah) L+=M
M=input("Choose a mob","Choose a mob") as null|mob in L

In response to Lummox JR
thank you got what I was asking lol... In truth I hate dealing with input for some reason I've been having trouble with it...

Well I was just curious though when using for(mob/M in list it goes through all the mobs while if you use mob/proc/blah(mob/M in world i t'll give you a sorta list thingy... but ya anyways you answered my question thank you :)
