Code:
mob/enemy
    var/cursed = 0 // where its located
mob
    priest
        icon = 'base.dmi'
        icon_state = "priest"
        hp = 100
        def = 0
        New()
            spawn() while(TRUE)
                for(var/mob/enemy/M in oview(7,src))
                    var/obj/darkness/J = new(src.loc)
                    while(J && M in oview(7))
                        if(M.cursed == 0)
                            missile(J,src,M)
                            M.overlays+=image('base.dmi',"curse")
                            M.curse(M,1)
                            M.cursed = 1
                            sleep(10)
                        sleep(10)
                sleep(10)
        mpriest
            icon = 'master.dmi'


mob/proc
    curse(mob/M,dmg)
        spawn for()
            M.hp -= dmg
            sleep(M.spd)

Problem description:
well the priest sends a "curse" onto the enemy but it doesn't shoot again until the mob is dead? could anyone point out why its not consistently shooting at mobs that aren't already cursed (M.cursed = 1)? Thank you for your help!

You never make it have turn it off.
So add a M.cursed=0 somewhere.

what?? that makes no since I want the mob to be cursed until it dies but the priest to keep shooting curses, the priest isn't the mob.

Make the cursed variable turn zero when the mob dies.

                    while(J && M in oview(7))
                        if(M.cursed == 0)
                            missile(J,src,M)
                            M.overlays+=image('base.dmi',"curse")
                            M.curse(M,1)
                            M.cursed = 1
                            sleep(10)
                        sleep(10)


It doesn't shoot at other mobs because it stays in this loop until M leaves.

Also, that should be oview(7,src)

Are you seriously reposting the same thing (and deleting your own post) repeatedly in an attempt to stealthily bump your thread?

In response to Garthor
only because you chose to ignore my question. Why won't you just answer it?

Remember that nobody owes you anything and nobody has to answer your questions, and wait patiently. Your act of bumping is uncalled for (good catch by Garthor there) and you better not keep it.
At any case you've been quite answered already. It doesn't seem you want another explanation or a more detailed one or anything of that sort, or you'd have asked for it. Just asking how to fix the problem after the problem has been pointed out is quite... pointless.
