(See the best response by D4RK3Z3R0.)
I've been trying for HOURS but nothing worked out. I'm attempting to make 3 specific factions for my game, and they will each have leaders,funds,and members. Problem is, when I add something to one faction and try to do the same to the other, it fails to work. Mainly DM grabs normal pieces of coding from other files that have nothing to do with the faction's coding, and makes up random errors that are only fixed by removing the faction code. What can I do to stop this?

We can't do anything if you don't show us the coding........

I don't know if this changes anything, but i set it up so that the player's faction is determined at Login 
mob/Login()
    switch(input("What faction?") in list ("faction 1"))//etc...
        if("faction 1")
            usr.faction1=1//as in positive/on
Jul 23 2013, 3:26 pm
 
var/faction1
faction1
    var
        list/faction1
        funds=0
    proc
        Leader()
        FactionMessage()
        Demand()
        AddFunds()
faction1
    AddFunds(n,m,c)
        

mob
    faction1
        verb
            Donate(n as num)
                if(usr.credit<=n)
            usr<<"You don't have that much to add!"
            return
        else
            src.funds+=n
            usr.credit-=n
            FactionMessage("[usr] donated [n]")

mob/Login()
    switch(input(src, "What faction?", "Selecting Fractions") in list ("faction 1","faction 2", "faction 3"))//etc...
        if("faction 1")
            usr.faction=1//as in positive/on


Instead of faction1 = 1 why don't you do faction = 1, faction = 2, and faction = 3.

Even if i add people to the list (faction) they can't access the verbs or participate in funding activity.

That's pretty much what i did, but i suspect somethings wrong with the factions(lists) themselves , & "fractions" was a typo, i meant to write "factions" in that example.

My mistake
src.verbs+=typesof(/mob/faction1/verb/)
Jul 23 2013, 3:37 pm
I see.. give me a moment to try that
Jul 23 2013, 3:39 pm
 
mob/
    proc()
        if(usr.faction1==1)
            usr.verbs+=typesof(/mob/faction1/verb)

mob/var/faction1
mob/faction1
verb
    lala()
I tried doing this and it claimed : :error: /mob/faction1/verb: undefined type path
Jul 23 2013, 3:41 pm
Oh my bad! i forgot to tab the "verb" part... everything seems to work fine now! thanks alot D4RK3Z3R0 =)

Okay.
First of all, why is it mob/proc i said put it under the login

Second of all, the verb is wrongly indented.

Also 3rd of all did you for got a / next to verb

usr.verbs+=typesof(/mob/faction1/verb/) //<--- you see that slash?
Jul 23 2013, 3:44 pm
Wait...the verbs didn't show up. I got happy since DM didn't say anything.

Oh Gosh

mob/Login()
    switch(input("What faction?") in list ("faction 1"))//etc...
        if("faction 1")
            src.faction1=1//as in positive/on
            src.verbs+=typesof(/mob/faction1/verb/)

The verbs worked, but the problem is, i can't have both a var(number , as in faction = 1) the same time as a list.

mob
    faction1
        verb
            Donate(n as num)
                if(usr.credit<=n)
            usr<<"You don't have that much to add!"
            return
        else
            src.funds+=n
            usr.credit-=n
            FactionMessage("[usr] donated [n]")

else doesn't do anything.

You did it wrong.

The message and the return under the faction message is suppose to be under the if.

Your indentation mislead me.
