...What?
Anyway, if you need to access an object, you need a reference to it. Your mobs probably already have references to their skills.

skills
parent_type =/obj
var
min
max
attacks
punch
name = "Punch"
min = 1
max = 100



Ok, I want min/max*100 and use that in a mob...

/mob/var/obj/skills/attacks/spattack
/mob/Login()
  if(alert(src, "What will your special attack be?", "Choose Attack", "Punch", "Kick")=="Punch")
    src.spattack=new/obj/skills/attacks/punch
  else
    src.spattack=new/obj/skills/attacks/kick
/mob/verb/attack(M as mob in oview(1))
  M.health-=spattack.min/spattack.max*100 //A bit useless if you're going to divide then multiply by 100

Something like that?

If this is all you're using those /objs for, then you don't need them at all in the first place. And I doubt you require min and max vars like that in any case. Use the numbers directly as you probably don't need them dynamic.

Ok, I want min/max*100 and use that in a mob...

You don't seem to have fully understood what I said in the other topic. Where's the sense in doing 1/100*100?
If the maximum value is 100, then you've already got the variable itself as the percent... you don't need to do anything more, since it is already X out of 100, hence, a percent.

Also either way, you're going to want to have a mob character know it's skills. You'd do these by adding variables on the mob for that (or one /list variable).

Lastly, on the forums, put your code between <DM> and </DM> tags.

Ok, my bad I'm having an off day. Ok, my final problem... my percent is based off your current number (example 1) and your max which is 100. Now everytime I put that in my mob proc it says it can't read my current number. I tried making a var that is a mob and make my current number equal to my var. And it didn't work...

    punch(mob/M,var/skills/attacks/A)
        var/percent = (A.min/100)
Everytime I use it, it says I can't modify min..
