Problem description: Two Problems. When I press A it activates the Hit() verb and when I release A it activates Wait() Proc. Problem. I can't get the hit verb to continue the attack if I press it again, and the wait proc doesnt restart the hit var when the sleep is up. Anyone know what I did wrong?

Why does wait need so many of the same if statements ...

mob/proc
    Wait()
        if(src.Hit == 4) src.Hit = 0 // if it equals the max amount of hits reset to 0
        if(src.Hit > 0) // higher than 0 continue
            sleep(6)
            src.Hit = 0// don't need to use "usr" in this case.
            //return  1 // no need for this ? what are you returning too?



mob/verb
    Hit()
        set hidden=1
        if(usr.Attacking)   return
        if(!usr.Hit)
            usr.Attacking=1
            spawn(4) if(usr) usr.Attacking=0
            flick("Hit[usr.Hit]",usr)
            usr.Hit=++ // plus one
            for(var/mob/Enemy/M in get_step(usr,usr.dir))
                var/damage = src.Strength-M.Strength
                damage=max(0,damage+rand(-1,1))
                M.Health-=damage
                M.DeathCheck(usr)
            //return  1// again no need for this.

You seriously didn't just copy and past that right... we aren't here to program for you.

Their is a much more efficient way to do this I just rearranged your code.. it's just an example of how you can make it much much smaller.

Making it smaller is good and dandy, and I appreciate the help. But I still can't figure out why my attack won't continue if I press A before the wait sleep time is up =P
