There's your problem. Can you figure it out? The monster is aka P and you're telling it to attack P. Get on Dream Seaker and I'll try to help you out more.

No put usr in proc. Ungh.

No conflate usr with player. Ungh.

if(P.client)

that should work. Put it in either in the for() loop or in the attack() proc.

You need to read some of the other posts in this thread. Most of your problem stems from abuse of usr.

First of all, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER confuse "usr" with "player" or "client". They are VASTLY different. We're talking about something like the difference between a rock and a thermo-nuclear warhead with a poodle sitting on it kind of difference. Basically, there are TWO places where you want to use usr: in verbs, and in Click(), DblClick(), MouseEntered(), etc. (all the links that are provided when looking up Click() in the reference).

Second of all, procs such as oview(), view(), range(), hearers(), orange(), etc. all take TWO arguments: the range, and the center. If you only provide the range, then the center defaults to usr. Refer to the paragraph above for information about using usr.

(After typing "ever" so many times, I realize how silly of a word it is...)
