I was wondering how i could make a list of mobs in view, who are loyal and not others, then having a mob be able to chose from that list.

example

mob/verb/Attack()
    var/unloyal[] = newlist()
    var/mob/monster/A
    for(A in oview())
        if(A.loyal != usr.key)
           unloyal += A
        else
            return ..()
    var/M = input("attack who?") in unloyal
    M.life -= 10
    M.death()


I did that but that doesnt seem to work.. any suggestions?

With the highlighted return statement, this code stops and returns as soon as it encounters a loyal person. Is that what you want?

mob/var/loyal
mob/New()
     src.loyal = rand(0,1)
proc/UnLoyals()
     var/UnLoyals = list()
     for(var/mob/M in view(world.view,usr))
          if(!M.loyal)
               UnLoyals += src
     return UnLoyals
mob/verb/AttackUnloyal()
     set name = "Attack unloyals in your view"
     for(var/mob/M in UnLoyals())
          del(M)


I think that would work. Try it out.

Two problems: You're using the loyal var as a boolean, whereas SonVegitto compares it to the attacker's key. Also, you've got +=src instead of +=M; src in this case would be the attacker. Thus the attacker would always attack himself, if any potential targets were available.
