obj
    var
        ammount = 1
        equipa = 1
        equipw = 1

    Toy_Sword
        Price = 20
        icon = 'Weapons.dmi'
        icon_state = "toy"
        verb/Get()
            set src in oview(0)
            if(usr.contents.len==0)
                src.Move(usr)

currently you have this
obj
var
ammount = 1
equipa = 1
equipw = 1
equips = 1 // Defined twice to see if it fixed it

change it to this
obj
var/ammount = 1
var/equipa = 1
var/equipw = 1
var/equips = 1 // Defined twice to see if it fixed it

In response to The Riddler
Nope, doesn't work... Anyone else?

The variable you're trying to get isn't defined under a mob type, therefore when you try to find it using usr, it won't work.
mob/var {equipw;equipa;equips}

And Riddler, it doesn't matter which way he does it, both ways work.
Could even do it as so;
var {a;b;c;d;e;f;g;h;i;j;k;l}

Your equipment system has a serious design flaw. For one thing, the equipw/a/s vars should belong to a mob; they should not be global. For another thing, you should be setting them to an actual weapon/armor/shield or to null, not to 1 or 0.

It's next to useless for the weapon itself to keep track of whether it's equipped. What's far more important is to know which weapon, if any, a mob is using.
