Code:
      A()
        set hidden = 1
        if(usr.inattack)
            return
        else
            usr.Battle("[src.a]")
            usr.inattack = 1
            sleep(10)
            usr.inattack = 0


Problem description:
Even though everytime an attack is used, and there's a timeout, it still spams.

Does the Battle() proc return almost instantly? Personally, I prefer to pass things like timeouts to a proc all their own.

mob/proc/Timeout(delay=10)
      inattack = 1
      sleep(delay)
      inattack = 0

mob/proc/attack()
      if(inattack) return
      spawn() Timeout()
      Battle()

You could be abusing usr.

It appears that the attack is working, though, leaving that out of the question.
