Code:
mob/verb
    Drive_Check()
        if(usr.drive >= 10)
        usr << ("Yes, I have the Drive attack")
    Special_Attack()
        for(var/mob/M in get_step(usr,usr.dir))//This makes it so you have to be facing your opponent to attack
            if(!M.client)//Checks to see if the opponent is a npc or player
                if(M.mon)//Checks to see if the opponent is an enemy
                    if(!M.dead)//Checks to see if the enemy is dead or not
                        var/dmg = usr.str - M.def
                        usr<<"You did [dmg] damage to [M]."
                        M.Hp -= dmg
                        if(M.Hp <= 0)
                            drive += rand(0,1)
                            drive = 0
                            del(M)
                        return ..()


Problem description:I want it so that the verb, check_drive, to check and see if I have 10 drive in my stat and if I do, I get the secial attack. Can anyone tell me what I have wrong here. I know it's alot of things wrong but I just tried it. And I added the drive = 0 in the end there to make the drive bar to go back down to 0, don't know if that's correct.

Well. The if() statement in Drive_Check isn't checking anything.

the usr<<"" has parenthesis.

mob/verb
    Drive_Check()
        if(usr.drive < 11 && usr.drive > 0) // less then eleven, and greater then zero.
            usr << "Yes, I have the Drive attack"
        else
            usr << "Drive attack is offline."


That is how I would have handled that.

So. You need to learn about greater then and less then values.

The pointy side is ALWAYS pointing to the lower number.

So. 1 is less then 2. 1 < 2. 2 is greater then 1. 2 > 1.

1 is greater then or equal to (k). 1 >= (k). 1 is less then or equal to (k). 1 <= (k).

Check the above corrected code, spacing is wrong for the usr << "Yes..." part.

                        if(M.Hp <= 0)
                            drive += rand(0,1)
                            drive = 0
                            del(M)
                        return ..()


maybe..

                        if(M.Hp <= 0)
                            drive -= 10 // you lose 10 for using drive
                            drive += rand(0,1) // you gain 0 or 1 for killing the monster with drive.
                            del(M)
                        return ..()

Now I have more problem's.

What is wrong with this here?

mob/verb
    Drive_Check()
        if(usr.drive < 11 && usr.drive > 0) // less then eleven, and greater then zero.
            usr << "Yes, I have the Drive attack"
            usr.verbs += (/mob/verb/special_attack)
        else
            usr << "Drive attack is offline."
    
mob
    special_attack()
        for(var/mob/M in get_step(usr,usr.dir))//This makes it so you have to be facing your opponent to attack
            if(!M.client)//Checks to see if the opponent is a npc or player
                if(M.mon)//Checks to see if the opponent is an enemy
                    if(!M.dead)//Checks to see if the enemy is dead or not
                        var/dmg = usr.str - M.def
                        usr<<"You did [dmg] damage to [M]."
                        M.Hp -= dmg
                        if(M.Hp <= 0)
                            drive += rand(0,1)
                            drive = 0
                            del(M)
                        return ..()

Don't put parenthesis around the path for usr.verbs.

special_attack() isn't defined as a verb.

drive var doesn't have a mob attached to it in special_attack()
