//This is a test world created by mike on friday.

mob
icon = 'person.dmi'
verb
say(msg as text)
world << "[usr]: [msg]"

//what the usr says is passed into "msg" as text
//the world sees chatroom-like output

//make it so all mobs will be created with the person icon

turf
grass
icon = 'grass.dmi'

//defines a "grass" prototype, which is a kind of turf...
//and has an icon named 'grass.dmi'. In single quotes!

world
turf = /turf/grass

//we set one of our world's characteristics:
//its default turf is the grass turf.

mob
icon = 'person.dmi'
Login()
icon_state = gender
..()

verb
say(msg as text)
world << "[usr]: [msg]"

//makes it so all mobs will be created with the person icon
//when a player logs in, make their icon's state
//the gender of their key. Then call the parent!

//The world sees chatroom-like output


The errors now are :

Test world.dm:34:error:say :duplicate definition
Test world.dm:6:error:say :previous definition
In response to JohnReaper
Actually, it was a clear error. You're ignorant to think I didn't know the problem to duplicate definitions.

You do know the problem of duplicate definitions, yes.
But you didn't see that he only showed us the bottom part.

turf
grass
icon = 'grass.dmi'

world
turf = /turf/grass


mob
icon = 'person.dmi'
Login()
icon_state = gender
..()

verb
say(msg as text)
world << "[usr]: [msg]"

That's all you need, now please DO read a demo!
In response to Roara
The last variable in the problem was that the error said there was duplicate definitions of "say", concluding that there's two say verbs/procedures. Fixing that would mean removing one.
In response to Steem
The problem is with you, not the tutorial.
In response to Steem
This is simple, it's just that you're not catching on. When we said remove the say verb, we meant remove it all! Not just the name and the arguments.
In response to JohnReaper
Ok the top parts of my code are tabs,and you've used spaces there and these errors come lol

Test world.dm:34:error:say :duplicate definition
Test world.dm:6:error:say :previous definition

Woweeeee!!! i done it thx!
In response to Steem
YOu did nothing but make it a hard time for us! Please, read some demos that teach you what a procedure/verb is! That way you won't have so much trouble in the future.
In response to JohnReaper
i dont want to be mean but after reading all fifty one posts i would just have to say that not everyone is meant to code using byond. perhaps you could try your luck with icon design.
In response to Siefer
hey it was hard because i had 2 ppl helping who said ignore the other..
