mob/Click()
if(usr.Bow == 0)
if(usr.Attacking == 0)
while(src in oview(1) & usr.Bow ==0)

For some reason ^ doesn't work. Does anyone know why.
However this works.

mob/Click()
if(usr.Bow == 0)
if(usr.Attacking == 0)
while(src in oview(1))

Its probably from usr.Bow == 0. Does anyone know how to fix this and still have usr.Bow == 0 part?

no, it's in the 
while(src in oview(1) & usr.Bow ==0)
part... & needs to be && and it should work.

try this one

mob/Click()
if(usr.Bow==0)
if(usr.Attacking==0)
while(src in oview(1) && usr.Bow==0)
blah blah blah...

and if that doesn't work try it like this

mob/Click()
if(usr.Bow==0)
if(usr.Attacking==0)
while(src in oview(1))
if(usr.Bow==0)
blah blah blah...

mob/Click()
        if(usr.Bow == 0)
                if(usr.Attacking == 0)
                        while(src in oview(1))
                             if(!src.Bow)

try that

Airjoe that works untill there is an infinit loop. Is there a way to stop a loop?

I thought world.loop_checks = 0 should work.

No, no, no! world.loop_checks is BAD. Bad, bad, BAD. All it does it suppress runtime "infinite loop" error messages. The infinite loop still exists, and it slows down the computer something terrible. I really don't know why Dantom included world.loop_checks, because it's an absolutely appalling way of dealing with infinite loops.

You need to use spawn(). spawn() is your friend.

<code>mob/Click() if(usr.Bow == 0) if(usr.Attacking == 0) spawn() usr.autoattack(src) mob/proc/autoattack(mob/target) if(!usr.Bow) //do the attack spawn(10) //In one second (you'll probably want to adjust the delay)... if (target in oview(src)) .() //...do the attack again</code>

The problem is that you need parentheses around "src in oview(1)". For some inexplicable reason, the in operator has an extremely low precedence so the && will bind with oview(1) before it's evaluated.
