Well here's the clue. what i want is to make a player created object able to damage people, not trough it being dense and using Bump(). but rather something that will damage them when it is created on/in their location.

First i thought i could use Entered and Exited. but this will not damage them if the object is created at their location.

so what i thought was i could do this:
for(var/mob/M in oview(0)) // or something?
  sleep(50)
  M.hp -= rand(4,8)

I had fun with this :)
mob
    verb
        bomb()//create a new bomb in the usr. Mostly for testing.
            new/obj/bomb(usr)
        placebomb(X as num, Y as num)//place a bomb on the map
            new/obj/bomb(locate(X,Y,1))
        checkhp()
            usr<<hp
    var/hp=100
obj
    bomb
        New(var/loc)//when a new bomb is created
            ..()
            if(istype(loc,/mob))//if it was created in a mob
                explode(loc)//blow it up!
        proc/explode(var/mob/M)//When a bomb explodes
            M.hp--//have it damage the mob it exploded on
            M<<"A bomb exploded on you."//tell them
            del src//and destroy the bomb
turf
    Entered(var/mob/M)//when a mob enters a turf
        ..()
        for(var/obj/bomb/B in contents)//have it check for bombs
            B.explode(M)//and explode any of them found.


Edit: Added comments, but not sure if they were needed. Oh well...

This seems to be something like i wanted it:P

However, i want the object to continiously?(repeatedly) damage to the mob and not be deleted before a certain amount of time (set by player) has past. Don`t worry about the time thing, i think i have that worked out.

Anyways, i think i will be able to take what you have here and configure it to what I`m looking for :)

Thanks :)

Try modding it and using spawn()

depends, did you get the answers you wanted?

if not, you either give bad explainations to the problem or what you want to do, i also find that it helps to give an example of how you have tryed to solve the "problem", that way giving them a better idea of what it is you are trying to achieve.

Idk. Anyways, I would like to see how to change the coordinates of that attack to say a targeted mob, or just place it 1 space away from the mob without having to enter any text. Im going to try to mod it.

I need to figure out how to set up variablles for the mobs location.

        placebomb2()
            new/obj/bomb(locate(M.x + 1, M.y + 1, M.z))


Bomb Test.dm:8:error: M.x: undefined var
Bomb Test.dm:8:error: M.y: undefined var
Bomb Test.dm:8:error: M.z: undefined var


Edit:I got it
        placebomb2()
            new/obj/bomb(locate(src.x + 1, src.y + 1, src.z))

Why doesnt this do anything at all and how can I fix it? All it does is create the objs.

mob
    NPC
        icon = 'mob.dmi'
        hp = 5
        proc/HpCheck()
            if(hp == 0||hp < 0)
                del src

obj
    nagashi
        icon = 'nagashi.dmi'
        New(var/loc)//when a new bomb is created
            ..()
            if(istype(loc,/mob))
                electrecute(loc)
        proc/electrecute(var/mob/M)
            M.hp -= 5
            M<<"<font color=blue>Electricity shocks you!"
            spawn(20)
            del src
        Bump(mob/M)
            if(istype(M))
                step_away(M,src,1)

mob
    verb
        Chidori_Nagashi()
            new/obj/nagashi(locate(src.x + 1, src.y, src.z))
            new/obj/nagashi(locate(src.x - 1, src.y, src.z))
            new/obj/nagashi(locate(src.x + 1, src.y + 1, src.z))
            new/obj/nagashi(locate(src.x - 1, src.y + 1, src.z))
            new/obj/nagashi(locate(src.x + 1, src.y - 1, src.z))
            new/obj/nagashi(locate(src.x, src.y - 1, src.z))
            new/obj/nagashi(locate(src.x - 1, src.y - 1, src.z))
            new/obj/nagashi(locate(src.x, src.y + 1, src.z))

It does nothing because locate(x,y,z) gives you a turf, not a mob.
