I don't understand why this doesn't work. It works with verbs or other procs that I define but it won't work for the built in proc Click(). I set the oview(1) but I can click on anything within my view range and I pick the object up or open the door. >.>

obj/items

// *****Get and Drop*****
    Click()
        set src in oview(1)
        if(usr.item_count >= 2)
            usr << "You are holding to many things!"
        else
            loc = usr
            usr.item_count ++
            
obj/items/verb
    drop()
        set src in usr
        set category = "Object"
        loc = usr.loc
        usr.item_count --



obj/door
    
    Click()
        set src in oview(1)
        if(state == 1)
            icon_state = icon_open
            density = 0
            opacity = 0
            state = 2
        else
            icon_state = icon_close
            density = 1
            opacity = 1
            state = 1


Where do I need to look? Any tips?

The set...in... works only for verbs, not procs. You would need to use an if() statement before everything else: 
Click()
  if(get_dist(usr, src) > 1) return
  // OR if(!(usr in oview(1, src)) return

  ... do everything else...


If the person is more than one tile away, the Click() will stop (via return).

Click is a proc, not a verb. So, the regular verb settings do not apply.
Click is going to be called regardless of how far away the mob is.
You'll have to do a check in Click then decide whether to take action.
obj/items
    Click()
        if (src in oview(1))
            //Do things

Thanks for the info guys. Sorry I have so many questions each day, it just very difficult for me to learn by reading the guide and references. I have to either be shown an example of my ideas or see someone else's source. :/

Thanks!
