ok so i made a new game and i decided to put chat options in first. So I wrote this...

//This is a game created by FretfulGun191 on March 30th, 2007.

var
    list
        Admins = list ("Fretfulgun191")
            if(src.key in Admins)
                mob 
                    verb
                        Announce(msg as text)
                            world << "[usr] Announces:[msg]"
mob
    verb
        say(msg as text)
            world << "[usr] Says : [msg]"


But I get errors on the admins part. Like src.key is undefined and list is an undefined proc and Announce is out of place. I tried fixing that but i really couldnt do it. Anyone know what teh problem is?

There are a couple of problems with that, you are trying to give a variable a verb? Your not even giving the verb properly. You should be checking if you're an administrator under 'say'. Also, you should check if they are an administrator with the Login function or New. Like so: 
mob
    Login()
        if(key in Admin)
            new/admin/verb/announce(src) //Add the verb to the user since he's in the admin list.
            //I didn't see any problems with your administrator list, so you don't need to change\
            anything in that.

And here's a quick way to add all verbs in that datum: 
mob/Login()
  ..()
  if(ckey in Admin)
    verbs+=typesof(/Admin/verb) //Adds all verbs under Admin/verb

Well you beat me to explain this, lol. I just replied nearly the same thing in his other post on Developer How-To.

I have this now...

mob
    Login()
        if(usr.key in admins)
            new
                admins
                    verb
                        announce(msg as text)
                            world << "[usr] Announces:[msg]"
var
    list
        admins = list("Fretfulgun191")

game.dmb - 7 errors, 0 warnings (double-click on an error to jump to it)

Very sorry about that, but it was an easy fix...

var/list/admins=list("FretFulGun")

mob/Admin/verb/announce(msg as text)
   world << "[html_encode(usr.name)]<font color = red>ANNOUNCES [html_encode(msg)]!"

mob/Login()
   if(src.key in Admins)
       src.verbs+=typesof(/mob/Admin/verb/)
   ..()


src is what calls the proc, I believe, usr is passed between procs and therefore isn't safe, its always better to use src in procs and usr in verbs although src works in both(I think)

so replace all your usr's in Login() to src
