Code:
//where proc with error is called
if(aindex=="6")
    var/obj/J=new/obj/Hitbox(src,hbw,hbh)
    J.loc=get_step(src,turn(dir,180))
    J.effect=heffect
    J.distance=hdistance
    J.HitboxCheck(0,0,1,moving=moves,1)

//proc where error is present
obj
    proc
        HitboxCheck(delaytime,multihit,blows,moving,backwards)
            set waitfor=0
            Relocation(moving,backwards)
            if(delaytime)   sleep(delaytime)
            while(blows)
                if(Owner.hnull)
                    Owner.hnull=0
                    break
                for(var/mob/M in bounds(src))
                    if(M!=Owner && (!(M in hit)))
                        Owner.skillhit=1
                        if(Owner.skilluse)
                            M.SkillHit(10,Owner,effect,distance)
                        else
                            M.AttackHit(10,Owner,effect,distance)
                        if(!multihit)   hit.Add(M)
                blows--
                sleep(1)
            del src


        Relocation(moving=0,behind=0)
            set waitfor=0
            do
                if(moving)
                    loc=get_step(Owner,Owner.dir)
                var/hits=bounds_dist(Owner,src)
                if(hits!=0)
                    if(behind)
                        if(Owner.dir==LEFT)
                            bound_x=-hits
                            pixel_x=bound_x
                        if(Owner.dir==RIGHT)
                            bound_x=hits
                            pixel_x=bound_x
                    else
                        if(Owner.dir==LEFT)
                            bound_x=hits
                            pixel_x=bound_x
                        if(Owner.dir==RIGHT)
                            bound_x=-hits
                            pixel_x=bound_x
                sleep(world.tick_lag)
            while(moving)


Problem description:
I keep getting a run-time error saying positional parameters must precede all named args, but the thing is, to MY knowledge, I have no positional parameters in the arguments at all.

J.HitboxCheck(0,0,1,moving=moves,1)


moving=moves are your named args. Once you use a name, every following arg must also be a name.

In response to FKI
Ah, thanks, I appreciate it.

Ah, and by "every following arg", you mean that
J.HitboxCheck(0,0,1,moving=moves,direction=1)
would be viable?

Yeah that's valid.
