Code:
var/choice = input("Please select your character to play with.")in list("Blah")
        if(src.choice == "Blah")
            usr.loc=locate(7,7,8)


Problem description:
src.choice:undefined var

What does this mean, I cant seem to fix it.

It means the variable 'choice' is undefined (does not exist) on src.
You've defined this variable as a local var of the proc, not as a var of an object, such as 'src'. This is very basic, so you should probably read up on variables in the DM Guide and Reference some.

src.choice would be:
mob/var/choice


What you did, remove src. infront of choice.
And yeah, read the DM guide.

Im still not getting something. Here is what I have.

Code:
mob/var/choice = input("Please select your character to play with.")in list("blah")
            if(choice == "blah")
                src.loc=locate(7,7,8)

You should read the DM guide... even I know this.

His telling you, you can either use var/choice => if(choice=="blah") OR mob/var/choice => if(src.choice=="blah")

anyway, its best to read the guide.

mob/var/choice would be absurd.
Just do var/choice.
