            if(src in view(1))
                if(src.Owner = usr.key)
                src.loc = usr
            else
                usr << "This is not yours."

I don't think posting this on two different forums will help, or is allowed in that matter.

Everything below set category="Commands" is indented one tab too far.

Had 3 errors,
Can you recreate my code to show me what you mean.

obj
    verb/Pickup()//get verb used when the person is next to or on the object
        set category = "Commands"//puts it in the 'other' category
        if(src in view(1))
            if(src.Owner = usr.key)
            src.loc = usr
        else
            usr << "This is not yours."


Plus, I'm not sure this will do what you want it to. src is the object being picked up. The first if() will always be true.

1) It's spelled "wrong" not "rong"

2) There's a reason why people say not to copy and paste... you are trying to check if something is equal by = and NOT ==

I want someone to pick up a obj, And its then theirs (If the obj has no owner)
But if someone owns the obj (Like in their house)
Only they can pick it up,
No one else can.

Is the code right for that?

I believe you'd want something like this:
obj
    verb/Pickup()//get verb used when the person is next to or on the object
        set category = "Commands"//puts it in the 'other' category
        set src in oview(1)
        if(src.Owner)
            if(src.Owner == usr.key)
                src.loc = usr
            else
                usr << "This is not yours."
        else
            usr << "You pickup [src.name]."
            src.loc = usr
            src.Owner = usr.key


The set src in oview(1) replaced your first if() statement. This tells the game to give the Pickup command to anyone in 1 tile or less of the object. The oview() proc keeps the verb from being used after the person picks up the object, since view() will let them pick it up from thier inventory. Also, you forgot to check to see if there was already an Owner assigned. That's the new first if() statement above. Finally, the last else actually does the pickup and sets the Owner to the key of the person picking it up.

Questions? Hope this helps.

[Edit] Oh, and as Ghost Anime said, you need to use two equal signs when testing if things are the same. One equal sign makes the left thing the same as the right thing.
