It's terrible...two innocent murderers have already been disintegrated by it....

Code:
var
        gold = 1000
        lx
        ly
        lz
        beenhere = 0
        lastversion = 0
        list/army


Stat()        //Call the Stat proc that updates the stat window every Tenth of a second...
        if(src == usr) statpanel("Inventory",src.contents)
        if(src == usr) statpanel("Army",usr.army)


        Noncombat
            verb
                Add_to_army()
                    src.loc = usr.army
                Remove_from_army()
                    src.loc = usr


Problem description:
When I use Add to army on a unit in my inventory, it disappears from the inventory, but doesn't appear in the Army tab.

First, you can't set a loc to a list. I think what you want to do is add yourself to the list.

Noncombat/verb
  Add_to_army()
    usr.army += src  // add the guy to your army list
    src.loc = null   // hide it
  Remove_from_army()
    usr.army -= src
    src.Move(usr)    // move it back to your inventory


I'm assuming Noncombat is a type path of a mob, since you never specified whether it is a mob, obj, or whatever.

In response to Unknown Person
Noncombat is in /obj/Pieces/, and is meant for categorizing noncombat verbs (at certain points, they are removed and given back).

Anyways, as soon as the object is in the army (yes, it finally gets there) it loses all verbs. This means I have to use a bug to get it back to my inventory.

In response to VDZ
I managed to fix it. Thanks.
If you're interested, the final code was
        Noncombat
            verb
                Add_to_army()
                    set src in usr
                    usr.army += src  // add the guy to your army list
                    src.loc = null   // hide it
                Remove_from_army()
                    set src in world
                    new src.type (usr)
                    del src
