I haven't used BYOND in a while, so I am wondering how exactly would I do to make a combat code. Like:
mob
    proc
        Attack()
            //code


One thing I am really looking for is where exactly to put the while command (before or after(I know, I sound like a noob)).
Thank you for anybody who helps.

You can use the simple easy way...
(Note: This is not the best code for combat, but it does work.)
mob/verb/punch(mob/M in oview(1))
   M.hp-=usr.str
   if(M.hp < 1){M<<"You die!";M.loc=locate(/turf/wherever/);M.hp=M.maxhp}else{return 0}

How about a more complex way. I could do that, but I mean where you deal damage then your enemy and so forth till one mob dies.

mob/proc/attack(var/mob/M)
  if(M.hp / src.damage > M.damage / src.hp)
    src << "You die!"
  else
    src << "They die!"

Okay, I think I can go with that. Or am I just being less specific?

Alright I got a good combat code, but now where do I put the while code?
mob
    proc
        Attack()
            //do I put the while here?
            //combat code
            //or here?

You put in whatever you want to happen.

What I am not getting is what are you trying to actually do with a while().

From the posts you have made, I suggest you relearn the basics:

Like:
while(usr.hp > 0 && src.hp > 0)

It loops over and over until one loses all its health.
