i have a verb :



verb
Suicide()
usr << " You attempted suicide!"
usr:HP -= damage
usr <<"You have have [HP] HP!"



when i use suicide it just states the HP over and over...HP=30

That alone wouldn't do a thing. Here's something I came up with in 3.2 seconds:
mob
  verb
    Suicide()
      var/damage=99999999*99999999
      src.HP-damage
      src.Death_Check() //if you have it like so

Or, you know, you could subtract the persons HP... or set it to 0 
usr.HP -= usr.HP
usr.HP = 0


Do not abuse the : operator, use typecasting (.) whenever possible.

proc
DeathCheck()
if (HP <= 0)
world << "[src] dies!"
del(src)

verb
Suicide()
var/damage=999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
src.HP-damage
src.DeathCheck()


i get these errors :

You messed up indentation or SOMETHING - I can't say for sure, because you aren't putting your code inside <DM></DM> tags and you aren't showing a large enough block of code - and the compiler is freaking out.

In other news, stop screwing around with large numbers like that. Just do src.HP = 0 and skip the stupid stuff.
