Code:
mob/proc
    custobj(var/objname)
        custom_obj[objname]=new()
        custom_obj[objname.icon]=input("What icon do you want?")as icon
        custom_obj[objname.icon_state]=input("What icon state should it have?")
        custom_obj[objname.name]=input("What do you want to name this object?")
        custom_obj[objname.density]=input("What should the density be?") in list(0,1)
        custom_obj[objname.opacity]=input("What should the opacity be?") in list(0,1)
        objinit = 1
mob
    var
        custom_obj[obj/]
        obj/selectedcustom
    verb
        Define_Custom_Object()
            set category = "Build"
            custobj(var/objnum = input("What is this object going to be called in the object list?"))
        Custom_Object()
            set category = "Build"
            if(objinit == 0)
                custobj(var/objnum = input("What is this object going to be called in the object list?"))
            else
                var/obj/o=new(src.loc)
                o.name=selectedcustom.name
                o.icon=selectedcustom.icon
                o.icon_state=selectedcustom.icon_state
                o.density=selectedcustom.density
                o.opacity=selectedcustom.opacity
                o.Owner=src.key
                o.Move(src.loc)
        Select_Custom_Object
            set category = "Build"
            selectedcustom = input("Which Object?") in list custom_object


Problem description:
I have no idea what I'm doing at this point. I'm trying to make a dynamic custom object system so a player can have any amount of custom objects as they please. Unfortunately, lists are being satanic to me and I have MORE than enough errors. If anyone cares to tackle this code monster I would appreciate it.
The immediate error i get is this : custom_object: expected end of statement
if I delete the Select custom object verb it tells me that None of the vars in the custom_object list have been initialized.

var/objname is a single variable, not a reference such as using var/mob/M or var/obj/O.

In response to RedlineM203
Yes but how does that help me?
In any case
The only issues i have in the code that I can see right now is the proc I have for setting the parameters for the custom object.
It doesnt recognize any of the variables.
also i fixed the var name in the select_obj verb thing
mob/proc
    custobj(var/obj/objname)
        objname.icon = input("What icon do you want?")as icon
        objname.icon_state = input("What icon state should it have?")
        objname.name = input("What do you want to name this object?")
        objname.density = input("What should the density be?") in list(0,1)
        objname.opacity = input("What should the opacity be?") in list(0,1)
        objname = new(custom_obj)


I think I'm getting close =D
anyways, now the problem is is that its uh giving me an error saying I cant change something or something in game

That syntax doesn't work; you need to put a length in the brackets, not a type.

Unlike a language like C, lists in DM don't have a type.
