            if(dropgold<=0)
                usr << "You have to drop ATLEAST 1 zenni!"
                return
            if(dropgold>usr:zenni)
                usr << "You dont have that much zenni to drop."
                return
            else
                var/O = new /obj/goldbag(usr.loc)
                O:zenni = dropgold
                usr.zenni -= dropgold
                usr << "You drop  <B>[dropgold]</b> zenni"
                view(6) << "[usr] drops <b>[dropgold] zenni."

Although it's badly explained, I assume it's this line.

usr:zenni += src.dropgold
     del(src)


The only thing I can help you with since you didn't explain what error, is that you're using : instead of .

Although I don't know if this would solve the problem, but I hear that it's bad to use :

Do you mean undentified var error? Then it means that that var doesn't exist...

Does obj/var/dropgold really exist?

umm do u have a msn cuz i tihnk i can explain it better there?

In response to Kaseem
No need for that... Since I already understand the error now.

You don't have a obj/var/dropgold var. You should create it and when you drop gold, you should make the dropped obj's yen to whatever it's supposed to be.

The obj/goldbag type does not have a variable named "dropgold". You need to give it a variable with that name.

Additionally, you should not be using the : operator, ever. Use the . operator, and if it gives you an error, that means you've made a mistake, and need to fix it.

In addtion to what Garthor wrote, dropgold is a variable assigned to a verb, it will not exist after the verb has run, and you cannot access from the object.

In response to Kaseem
No.

No it would not.

Perhaps you need to read some tutorials?

A little rusty? No, you should take the advice and learn DM in the proper places, not demos.

At first, until I saw your key above it, I thought this post was a smart-alec making fun of you. Now that I realized it was you, I laughed even harder.

Kaseem-- how did i explain it wrong i put the code file and i said whats wrong so if u cud rewrite the whole thing and put it how its soppose to be that would be great and the 2 lines that is popping up as an error are
usr << "You get [src.dropgold] zenni."
usr:zenni += src.dropgold
