Something like this (which is in simplified form) should be what you're looking for.
mob/var/blocking = 0
mob/var/damage = 10
mob/var/health = 100

mob/verb/Block()
  if(src.blocking)
    src.blocking = 0
    src << "You lower your guard."
  else
    src.blocking = 1
    src << "You raise your guard."

mob/verb/Attack(mob/M in orange(1))
  src << "You attack [M]!"
  M << "[src] attacks you!"
  oview() << "[src] attacks [M]!"
  if(M.blocking) // This is the part you want.
    M.health -= (src.damage/2)  
  else
    M.health -= src.damage

Here is the BYOND FAQ entry on "src": http://www.deadron.com/Admin/BYOND_FAQ.html#N3524

And here it is on "usr": http://www.deadron.com/Admin/BYOND_FAQ.html#N3567

Yes, it would make a difference.

As the last message suggested, you should look up the difference to find out why I'm using src instead of usr.

thanks for all the help. I have a few more questions. Do you know how to create a mob in front of an existing player and how to make a sort of gang of computers walk around together and fight anyone they come across?? I am not very familiar with AI so if you run across anything that talks about that please let me know.
