ok, my guess is that you have object and gun both defined like 3 times, so its most likely taking the bullet closest to the bottom which doesnt have the bump in it <.<

Try adding in some debug code, something as simple as

world << "bumped a mob!"


...just after the damaging part, to see if it's even getting to that part of the code or not.

So if its getting to that code, and its not giving you an error for M.health not being defined, then you must be resetting or cancelling out the health change somewhere else in your code. Look in any other sections of code that you're changing a mob's health variable, and check to see that it wont conflict with the damaging part (possibly resetting the health everytime its lowered, in a deathcheck proc maybe?).

In response to The Conjuror
if you ment like this:
obj/bullet
icon='bullet.dmi'
density=1
Bump(mob/M)
if(ismob(M))
M.HP-=15
world << "bumped a mob!"
del(src)
mob
proc
DeathCheck() if (HP <= 0)
world << "[src] dies!"
del(src)



obj/gun
icon='gun.dmi'
verb
Shoot()
var/obj/bullet/B = new(usr.loc)
walk(B,usr.dir,0)

then that did not work either.

I didnt suggest changing any code, I was just saying that there must be code elsewhere in your program that's affecting M's hp. You said that M's hp isn't changing.

Also, make sure you're using the same variable for health. In your first example you used M.health, now you're using M.hp...
