Code:
keygen
    var/list
        validChar   =   list( "A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z" )
        validNum    =   list("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0")

    proc/getRChar()
        var/tmp/randChar = pick("A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z" )
        return randChar

    proc/getRNum()
        var/tmp/randNum = pick("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0")
        return randNum



mob
    proc/keygen/getRChar()
    proc/keygen/getRNum()
    New()
        ..()
        world << "char = [getRChar()]</br>num = [getRNum()]"



Problem description:
No debug errors
mob/proc/keygen/getRChar() returns null
mob/proc/keygen/getRNum() returns null

As described, i can't get keygen/proc/ to work? What am i missing here?

btw, how can i make the keygen/proc to pick from var/list/valid---- ?

var/keygen/keygen = new
mob
    //proc/keygen/getRChar() // you can't do these
    //proc/keygen/getRNum()
    New()
        ..()
        world << "char = [keygen.getRChar()]</br>num = [keygen.getRNum()]"

Oh and for picking from the valid list, you can do it like this
proc/getRChar()
    return pick(validChar)

proc/getRNum()
    return pick(validNum)
