How do i go about this?

Would this be in verb form, click form?
(This is untested, but I believe it would work.)

mob
    var
        isinvis
    verb
        Teleport()
            for(var/mob/M as mob in get_step(usr,usr.dir))
                flick("teleportationimage",usr)
                usr.loc=M.x+1
                usr.invisiblity=1
                usr.isinvis=1
                usr.dir=EAST
        Attack()
            //Your attack stuff
            if(usr.isinvis)
                usr.isinvis=0
                usr.invisibility=0

Unless that's a boolean expression, it needs to be if( !var )

There's no place for as in for().

Not needs, but it would be better, as well as being better "etiquette", as it makes it easier to notice we're checking for a null value.

No, just change it to if(!M.npp).

Actually, it does need it. It not only checks for null, but it also checks for 0 or "". A simple, if( var == 0 ) would not check for all 3, whereas !var would.

Now i get this error

attack22a.dm:13:error: view: expected end of statement

and on that line i have

                view(6) << "<font color = blue><i>[usr] throws a fury of punches at [M]!"


How can i fix this?

Well, in that line your HTML is all wrong. That should be color=blue, not color = blue, and you forgot to close both tags.

However the actual error is in the line before. Often with "expected such-and-such" errors the real error occurs earlier.
