I learn best by examples so can someone give me some good examples of lists with commenting. Ones that make a list then refrence stuff within the list different ways. Thanks for any help you can provide me.

Also is there a way to list certain objects in a switch menu? Like obj/attacks instead of every object in world?

This is the best I could come up with at the moment.

//Your attacks
attack
    parent_type = /obj
    a1
    a2
    a3
    a4
    a5
    a5
    
mob/verb/see()
    var/list/attacks = list() //your list
    for(var/attack/a in world) //loop through world finding attacks
        if(a) // if it exists
                     attacks += a // add attack to list
    usr<<pick(attacks) //randomly select attack from the list
