Code:
area
    House1
        Enter()
            if(owned==1)
                if(usr.owner=="House1")
                    usr<<"Welcome"
                    usr<<"[housename]"
                    return 1
                else
                    if(usr.canenter=="House1")
                        usr<<"[housename]"
                        return 1
                    else
                        usr<<"This is not your house,[housename]"
                        return 0
            else
                switch(alert("This house is for sale, do you want to buy it for 50000 gold?",,"Yes","No"))
                    if("Yes")
                        if(usr.gold>=50000) //How ever much you want the tempary house to sell for.
                            usr.gold-=50000 //How ever much you want the tempary house to sell for.
                            usr.owner="House1"
                            owned=1
                            statpanel("House")
                            usr.verbs+=/mob/proc/invite
                            usr.verbs+=/mob/proc/un_invite
                            usr.verbs+=/mob/proc/name_house

                        else
                            usr<<"You dont have enough gold!"
                    if("No")
                        return 0

I repeat:

Please put your code inside the <dm> tags, not outside. That's what they're there for.

No put usr in proc. Ungh.

Aye, but you still have to get rid of the usr abuse. usr has no place in Enter().

Of course not. In Enter(), src is the turf (or, more generally, the atom being entered). What you need to use is the argument that is sent to Enter(), telling it what atom is trying to enter.

Just because usr is wrong does not mean src is right. Sometimes you either need more information sent to the proc, or you need to use the information it has.

Yous should know what Lummox means when you press that nifty Function 1 (F1) button while in DreamMaker. It's really that easy.
