Code:
client/Center()
    mob.shoot()
mob/verb/Shoot()
    shoot()
mob
   proc
    shoot()
        var/obj/H = new/obj/bullet
        var/obj/I = new/obj/bullet
            var/obj/J = new/obj/bullet
        if(src.fired == 0 && clip > 0 && can_shoot == 1)
        src.fired = 1
        clip -= 1
        spawn(1)
           src.fired = 0
        H.dir = src.dir
            H.loc = src.loc
        I.dir = src.dir
        I.loc = src.loc
        J.dir = src.dir
        J.loc = src.loc
        while(H)
            step(H,H.dir)
            var/turf/T = H.loc
            if(T.density == 1)
                del(H)
            sleep(1)
        while(I)
            step(I,I.dir)
            var/turf/T = I.loc
            if(T.density == 1)
                 del(I)
            sleep(1)
        while(J)
            step(J,J.dir)
            var/turf/T = J.loc
            if(T.density == 1)
                 del(J)
                 break
            for(var/mob/M as mob in T)
                   if(M == src)
                   M.HP -= range_damage
                   usr << "You did [range_damage] damage!"
                              
                                   M.DeathCheck()
                    del(H)
                    sleep(1)


Problem description:
Ok i took my shoot and tried to adapt it to shoot 3 bullets everytime the user hits shoot. Obviously it doesn't work, i'm probably taking the wrong approach to this but i couldn't think of any other way. So can someone help me with this?

Also its not doing damage when the bullet hits an enemy. I think i should use Bump() for this but i'm not really sure how to implement that.

Note: Everything compiles and the game runs, but when i shoot it only shoots one bullet instead of three.

It actually shoots 3, yet they shoot at the same time so it looks like 1.

So then how would i make a delay between each shot, would i use sleep?

spawn(10) spawn(10) var/obj/J = new/obj/bullet

var/obj/H = new/obj/bulletspawn(10) 
spawn(10) var/obj/I = new/obj/bullet
spawn(10) var/obj/J = new/obj/bullet


when i do this it says all the variables are undefined. Am i using this incorrectly?

Sorry, I did a mistake last post and you looked before I edited, hold on, I'll post the code here

[edit] actually, I think my code should work... baah. I'm confused today. Try it anyway.

i tried that and it still says all the variables are undefined.

In response to Dan13
wait, verbs are undefined? you said they just appear as 1...

[edit] oh, var/obj/H = new/obj/bulletspawn(10) delete the spawn(10) here.

when i added the spawn(10) it and compiled it said all the variables were undefined.

Try this:
var/obj/H=new/obj/bullet
var/obj/I
var/obj/J
spawn(10)I=new/obj/bullet
spawn(10)J=new/obj/bullet

ok so now its giving me some incosistent indentation errors. I'll get those sorted out and i'll be back if it still doesn't work.

Eh?

I have no idea what you're talking about!

Don't just copy the code; learn from it!

Neigh, I'll fix it myself X-x

Next time, don't copy rifthaven's code and say it's yours.. actually, don't copy it at all!

client/Center()
    mob.shoot()
mob/verb/Shoot()
    shoot()
mob
   proc
    shoot()
        spawn(10) var/obj/H = new/obj/bullet
        spawn(20) var/obj/I = new/obj/bullet
        var/obj/J = new/obj/bullet

there, that should work.

I used it to learn from, sorry i said it was mine. I'm not actually gonna use it in a game. Thanks for the help guys.

Too bad it won't, I didn't even compile it and I know that. :|

the code itself is messy, the part with the spawn is what i fixed.
