Dream maker is alittle weird like that. I would delete all the spaces on every line. (Like before the code not the spaces inside the code. Then retab them out again.

This usually happens when some of your code is indented with tabs and some with spaces. If you copy and paste code from different sources this happens a lot.

The indentation error may be caused by your incorrect indentation of the bug. If you want the bug to be a mob, you have to indent everything one space to the right like so

mob
    icon = 'person.dmi'     //make it so all mobs will be created with the person icon
    var
        HP = 30       //define a new variable called HP, with a value of 30
    bug             //new prototype
        icon = 'bug.dmi'    //override the parent's icon, which was 'person.dmi'
        Login()
            icon_state = gender //when a player logs in, get them the right icon state for
            ..()


Also, you shouldn't be doing M:HP or M:DeathCheck(). The proper way, in this and most situations, is to do M.HP and M.DeathCheck().

Your DeathCheck procedure didn't belong to the mob parent anymore :/ as well as your verb say and attack. And all of attacks properties were looked at as new verbs (which wouldn't work for any of them) because they weren't indented under attack.

No, I indented it according to what seemed like he wanted.

But looking at it again, I agree that he probably wanted mob/Login() not mob/bug/Login().

I'd strongly recommend reading the DM Guide.

More specifically, these two chapters:

Chapter 3. Objects in the Tree

Chapter 4. Verbs
