invalid error on if(usr.V=1)

OMGWTFBBQ?

Okay, several things wrong -
1 - I can't read blocks of code when they aren't ACTUALLY INSIDE THE FREAKING <DM> TAGS!

2 - What in all hell is the error? When does it occur? On what line?

3 - Why can't you just do this? (Assuming the new mob is stored as var/mob/newmob)
var/f=input(blah blah blah) in list(generic stuff)
newmob.from=f


See? Much easier.

4 - I suspect you shouldn't be using usr in here - it's probably a proc.

EDIT:
Okay, that's better.

Still, what in all hell is an invalid error? You haven't provided any context there.

Your problem is that you've used = instead of == for comparision.

well basicly thats the problem, in that spot where if(usr.V=1) stands in, there is an invalid error

It doesn't read 'Invalid error'. Try looking again.

And I've already told you what the problem was - you're using = instead of == in the if().

Also, you might want to look up the 'prob()' procedure.
