Code:
proc
            daycycle()
                lit = 1 - lit    
                if(lit)
                    overlays += 'black25.dmi'   
                    sleep(3) // pause a moment
                    overlays -= 'black25.dmi'   
                    overlays += 'black50.dmi'   
                    world << "<center><font face=Papyrus><font size=3><font color=blue>The sun goes down as darkness shades the world...</center>"
                    var/x = rand(1,35)
                    var/y = rand(1,35)
                    var/obj/spawner/Wolf/O = new O(O.loc = locate(x,y,1))            
                else
                    overlays -= 'black50.dmi'   
                    overlays += 'black25.dmi'   
                    sleep(3) 
                    overlays -= 'black25.dmi'   // remove the dither
                    world << "<center><font face=Papyrus><font size=3><font color=blue>Sunlight comes over the hilltops...</center>"
                    for(var/obj/spawner/Wolf/W in world)
                        del(W)
                spawn(15000) daycycle()


Problem description:
Anyways, my problem is that I get an error...

cycles.dm:46:error:O: compile failed (possible infinite cross-reference loop)
cycles.dm:46:error:O.loc: compile failed (possible infinite cross-reference loop)

What I am trying to do is when the world turns to night, I want some spawn obj's randomly placed around the world. In this case..a wolf. And when it turns back into day, the spawners get deleted. Anyone know what the problem is?

May want to use your own code for day/night system, but that's aside from the point.. The only thing I would see being the problem here is this line...

var/obj/spawner/Wolf/O = new O(O.loc = locate(x,y,1))


I would do it like

new/obj/spawner/Wolf(locate(x,y,1))


Have fun.
