Code:
mob/proc
  deathcheck(mob/M)
    if(M.hp <= 0 && !M.client)
      src<<"<b>You killed [M]"
        distDropsAndDie(M)
    else if(M.hp <= 0 && M.client)
      M.hp=M.mhp

  distDropsAndDie(mob/M)
    if(M.hp <= 0 && !M.client)
      src.exp += M.givExp
      src.lvCheck()
      del(M)
      return
    else
      return


mob
  Monsters
    icon = 'mon.dmi'
    canMove = 1
    inair = 1
    Blobble
      name = "Blobble"
      lv = 1
      givExp = 50
      distDropsAndDie() // has been tried as distDropsAndDie(src).
        new /obj/item/Advancement_Crystal(loc)


Problem description:
Okay, well. As you can see, I have a proc called distDropsAndDie. I read another post saying that you could call a proc like this (that deletes the monster) to use for monster drops. The only problem is, that it's not dropping. I have tried the distDropsAndDie with an arg (src), and that doesn't work either. Comments, suggestions, help?

Thanks in advance.

Your deathcheck() is backwards. src should be the mob dying, and M should be the mob killing src. Change how you call it appropriately, as well.

Oh, alright. It works now.
Thanks a lot.

*Edit*
It drops the item, but it makes me have to hit the mob a second time just to get it. Even though it says I killed the blobble, I level up, etc.

I have changed both the deathcheck and distDropsAndDie proc.

You're deleting the mob before it can drop anything.

distDropsAndDie() <- mob is deleted in this proc
new /obj/item/Advancement_Crystal(loc)

Yeah he kinda put src where M should be and vice versa >_>, never mind.
