ok i have two codes 1 sends you to jail and 1 makes u afk. I am trying to make it if u are in jail u cant go afk.

afk
mob/var //vars needed to work verbs in the game
    afk = 0

mob/verb/AFK(mob/M)
    set category = "Commands"    
 
    if(usr.afk == 0)
        usr.overlays += 'afk.dmi'  //overlays means it will go on top of your mob underlays will go behind your mob...
        usr.afk = 1
        world << "<font color = red><b>[usr] is Afk." //goes to everyone in the game..
        M.lloc = M.loc // saves last spot
        M.loc = locate(4,9,1) //cahnge the 1,1,1 to the location of your jail
    else
        usr.afk = 0
        usr.overlays -= 'afk.dmi' //afk.dmi means the whole icon
        world << "<font color = red><b>[usr] is back."
        M.loc = M.lloc // places them at the origanal spot





mob/Move()
    if(!src.afk)
        return..()



jail
            Send_To_Jail(mob/M in world)
                set category = "Admin"
                var/a=input("In How Many Seconds")as null|num
                if (!a) return
                M <<"[usr.name] sent you to jail for [a] seconds"
                if (a) M.lloc = M.loc // saves last spot
                M.loc = locate(4,9,1) //cahnge the 1,1,1 to the location of your jail
                sleep(a*10)
                M.loc = M.lloc // places them at the origanal spot

I suggest learning how to program. No offense intended, but this is really easy. A way involves creating a boolean mob var, changing it when they are un/jailed, and checking the var when the player tries to go AFK.

A more detailed explanation: create a mob var called Jailed, set this variable to 1 when the player is jailed, 0 when they are sent back, and check if(usr.Jailed) in the AFK verb. Put a return 0 under if(usr.Jailed). If the usr's Jailed variable is 1, then if(usr.Jailed) will go through and return 0 will stop the verb.

Pseudo code example:
Declare mob var "Jailed"
AFK Verb
  if Jailed is true
    stop the verb
  do normal AFK stuff

Jail Verb
  set Jailed to true
  do normal Jail stuff
  set Jailed to false

What in the world is up with that AFK verb?
You could make this shorter with a couple ternary statements and using =!, but I've never managed to make a ternary statement compile.
    away(t as text)
      if(away)
        world<<"[name] has returned from away \[[awaymsg]\]."
        away=0
        overlays-='afk.dmi'
        return
      t=copytext(Process(t),1,250) // Process is just a text filter procedure I use.
      if(!t)return
      awaymsg=t
      away=1
      world<<"[name] has went away \[[awaymsg]\]"
      overlays+='afk.dmi'
