Code:
    Attack(mob/M as mob in oview(1))
        if(M.name = "dummy")
            set hidden 
        else
        
            set category="Attack"
            var/damage = usr.str - M.def
            usr<<"You attack [M] for [damage] damage!"
            oview()<<"[usr] attacks [M] for [damage] damage!"
            M.HP -= damage
            M.Death()
            usr.LevelUp()

        
    Train(mob/Monster/dummy as mob in oview(1))
        set category="Attack"
        usr << "You train on the dummy"
        oview()<<"[usr] trains on dummy!"
        usr.Exp += rand(1,15) - usr.Level
        usr.LevelUp()


Problem description:
I'm trying to make it so the player can only train on the dummy not attack it. How to I do this? When I try the above it says on the:

if(M.name = "dummy")
set hidden

errors:
Verbs.dm:13:error::missing expression
Verbs.dm:14:error:hidden :bad statement

That's because "set" statements are not actual statements in the procedure. They are a rather strange syntax quirk -- they set the properties of the verb, but have no actual functions.

To fix the errors, you need an == operator, and it's set hidden = 1. But that code probably won't work properly anyway.

EDIT: Couldn't you solve your problm by making the dummy a obj instead of a mob.

Maybe like..

obj
   Dummy
       icon = 'blah.dmi'
       verb
          Train()
             set category="Attack"
             set src in oview(1)
             usr << "You train on the dummy"
             oview()<<"[usr] trains on dummy!"
             usr.Exp += rand(1,15) - usr.Level
             usr.LevelUp()
