/*
var/obj/sly/O only if you are going to use it as a reference, if you don't byond's compiler will actually warn you that you are declaring a variable that is not being used.

as for your new /obj/sly(O, usr.dir) CRYS...

to get the next location infront of the users location,
get_step(Ref,Dir)

*/
var/obj/sly/O = new(get_step(usr,usr.dir))

Also, if I may I think your design is flawed. Your using a verb for your wall. In this verb you do a set src in view(1). What does this statement do?

What I am getting at is this. If I was facing up and to the left of me was a wall with this verb. I could use this verb and create that object where there is no wall.

Here use this instead it's cleaner and it works I tested it:
turf
    wall
        icon='Test.dmi'
        icon_state="wall"
        density=1
        opacity=1
        DblClick()
            if(src in oview(1))
                switch(input("Which One?","TAG")in list("sly","sly2"))//asks the usr which one and shows the a list
                    if("sly")//if they pick this one
                        overlays += /obj/sly//puts graffiti on top of wall
                    if("sly2")//if they pick ths one
                        overlays += /obj/sly2//puts graffiti on top of wall


obj
    sly//#1
        icon='Test.dmi'
        icon_state="sly"
        layer = MOB_LAYER+99
    sly2//#2
        icon='Test.dmi'
        icon_state="sly2"
        layer = MOB_LAYER+99

also if you want I can help you make it so they can use there own icon's as graffiti too.

        icon       = 'Test.dmi'
        icon_state = "wall"
        density    = 1
        opacity    = 1
        DblClick()
            set src in oview(1)
            var/sly_choice = input("sly or sly2") in list("sly","sly2")
            usr.overlays  += icon('Test.dmi',sly_choice)
            // just so you know, you could also squeeze the input() in the icon proc.

 turf
    wall
        icon       = 'Test.dmi'
        icon_state = "wall"
        density    = 1
        opacity    = 1
        DblClick()
            set src in oview(1)
            var/sly_choice = input("Which Graffitti?","Tag It!!") in list("sly","sly2")
            /*get rid of the usr.for this to work*/usr.overlays  += icon('Test.dmi',sly_choice)

And you WEEN! you didn't even test this did you.
(also note:)That if you use this than the icon_state for your graffitti must be put in the list.

you could have it so that its a player verb and not attached to the walls themselfs.
mob
   verb
       Tag_Sly()
           var/turf/wall/T = locate(/turf/wall) in get_step(src,src.dir)
           if(T)
               if(istype(T,/turf/wall))
                     // T = the wall infront
                     // src = the player
                     // the rest of your code below

have fun

No, that will not work. using <code>locate() in area</code> will try and find movable objects. Since what you want to find is a turf, you can just simply set T to get_step(src, src.dir), then do the various checks.

var/turf/wall/T = get_step(src, src.dir)
if(T && istype(T, /turf/wall))
  ...

Unknown Person is correct V_V (dam it) using locate() will not pickup the turf.

mob
   verb
       Tag_Sly()
           var/turf/wall/T = get_step(src,src.dir)
           if(T)
               if(istype(T,/turf/wall))
                     // T = the wall infront
                     // src = the player
                     // the rest of your code below
