Problem description: This is the Runtime error i get.

runtime error: Cannot modify null.name.
proc name: Login (/mob/create/Login)
source file: testworld.dm,28
usr: the create (/mob/create)
src: the create (/mob/create)
call stack:
the create (/mob/create): Login()

. I am very new to this. Please help. I have a title screen and I can click the new game button. Then it asks for name. After you hit enter it recieves a runtime error. If I haven't supplied enough info please tell me.

    Click()
        if(istype(usr,/mob/spectator))
            usr.client.mob = new/mob/create/
Like how new was used here..

Dever, thanks for your patience, but you are being too vague.
Your answers are too short to help. I realize new is to be used like the line above. But i don't know where to put it. Below what? and in what order?

thx

Initialize it when you create the mob.

By the way, you might prefer the "." operator here.
