        Frieza
            powerlevel = 800000
            maxpowerlevel = 800000
            dead = 0
            icon = 'changling.dmi'
            icon_state = ""
            ko = 0
            safe = 0
            npp = 0
            ssj = 0
            strength = 50
            race = "Frieza (NPC)"
            state = "First"
            if(powerlevel < 50000)
                powerlevel = 1200000
                flick("form2",Frieza)
                icon = 'ChangeForm2.dmi'

I can't get this to work it gives this message:
mobs.dm:2279:error:powerlevel:duplicate definition
mobs.dm:2279:error:50000:duplicate definition
mobs.dm:2279:error:< :instruction not allowed here

Short answer: Your if() block isn't inside a proc.

K, I am trying to make friez to transform when His pl drops to 50,000 so If I can't use the if staement then how do I make him transform? Do I make a proc and assign it to him?

put src.powerlevel in the if

Can I have like an example?
I am thinking
proc/frieza1
   if(powerlevel <= 50000)
   powerlevel = 1200000
   flick("form2",Frieza)
   icon = 'ChangeForm2.dmi'

Then
        Frieza
            powerlevel = 800000
            maxpowerlevel = 800000
            dead = 0
            icon = 'changling.dmi'
            icon_state = ""
            ko = 0
            safe = 0
            npp = 0
            ssj = 0
            strength = 50
            race = "Frieza (NPC)"
            state = "First"

Nope. That's not gonna work. You really need to look up in the Reference, or the Guide, how to define procs and use if(). The code in the first block is wrong on several levels, and it should be within the second.

I now tried this and it still won't work
        Frieza
            mob/proc/frieza1()
                if(powerlevel <= 50000)
                    powerlevel = 1200000
                    icon = 'ChangeForm2.dmi'
            powerlevel = 800000
            maxpowerlevel = 800000
            dead = 0
            icon = 'changling.dmi'
            icon_state = ""
            ko = 0
            safe = 0
            npp = 0
            ssj = 0
            strength = 50
            race = "Frieza (NPC)"
            state = "First"
            frieza1()

I know that two ppl have gotten it to work and it is in their games but I can't get it. I am frustrated.

Frieza
mob/proc/frieza1()

Since this is under mob/Frieza, the "mob" before proc is redundant. What you've just done is to define a proc for the sub-type /mob/Frieza/mob.

strength = 50
race = "Frieza (NPC)"
state = "First"
frieza1()

Just take out this last line; I have no idea what you're trying to do with it, but it ain't right. What it will manage to do, once you get the proc/frieza1() part working above, is override that proc so it does nothing.

Stop giving bad advice koolguy. So far everything youve said here is wrong. LommuxJR is trying to get this new person to think, while you are merely confusing him furthur.
