Code:
mob
    proc
        Deathcheck(mob/M in world)
            if(src.HP<=0)
                world<<"[src] Has been killed by [M]!"
                M.exp+= 50
                src.death+=1
                M.kills+=1
                src.loc=locate(8,10,1)
                src.HP=src.MHP
                usr.Level_Up()


Problem description:
the problem is with everything with M in it, it cant find the mob so when a person dies it says "blah has been killed by ! and the pretty much all this
                M.exp+= 50
                src.death+=1
                M.kills+=1
                src.loc=locate(8,10,1)
                src.HP=src.MHP
                usr.Level_Up()

wont work and as you can see im not that experienced of a coder.

The main problem is probably that you're not passing M correctly to this proc. Once you do that, it should work fine.

You also should change usr.Level_Up() to M.Level_Up(). usr doesn't belong in a proc, but M is what you want.

Problem is you're making the proc's arguments wrong. You don't need "in world", all you need is "mob/M" and calling the proc the proper way, "Deathcheck(target_here)".

The "in world" isn't going to cause any problems. It's pointless for procs, but it won't hurt anything.

Of course it's actually the killer that's supposed to be the argument, not the target.
