OrangeWeapons	You sort of need to learn to do these kinds of things on your own. Alas, if you would like to have a quick, easy system of doing something such as this, I recommend looking over some sources(although they aren't always optimal).

Tajiri	Alright...I have an attack system...can you tell me how to make it so you can't move when you die? or respawn?

Make a variable which would cause movement to be returned.

mob/var/stunned = 1  //True

mob/Move()
  if(stunned)  //if True, return
    return 
  ..()  //else, continue with the normal procedure

mob/verb/Switcharoo()
  if(!stunned) //if NOT True
    stunned = 1  //True
    usr << "You're stunned"
  else
    stunned = null  //NOT True
    usr << "You're Not stunned"

Tajiri	When I applied the code..It gave me the verb option in my command tab called Switchroo which turned stun off and on... I want when I die I respawn to a certain point with full hp. I want to start basic...and if you can help me with a with a tab to view my HP that would be nice

OrangeWeapons	It was supposed to be an example, not a plug-and-play. Edit it to a deathcheck system. I'll give you a hint, after you do damage on players, have it call the deathcheck() proc. You need to read some basic articles and tutorials. I can't just "give you the codes".
