i cant whittle ive tryed lots of stuff my problem is i cant make it so when i use a verb for a dagger to have it so it requires me to also have wood in my invetory. this is my code.

obj/items/Equippable/dagger/verb/Whittle(/obj/items/Wood in usr && /obj/items/Equippable/dagger in usr)
set src in usr
usr << "you whittle the piece of wood"
del /obj/items/Wood
new /obj/items/Equippable/oar(usr)

mob/var
  haswood

obj/items/Equippable/dagger/verb/Whittle()
  if(usr.haswood >= 1)//that sounds wrong
    usr << "[usr] whittles
  else
    usr << "You need wood to whittle!"//Still sounds wrong

needs a little work, but that's the basic premice

Popis's code doesn't look like what you want. Why have a set var? You can easily fix the original code you had:
obj/items/Equippable/dagger/verb/Whittle()
    set src in usr
    var/Wood = locate(/obj/items/Wood) in usr.contents
    if(Wood)
       usr << "you whittle the piece of wood"
       del Wood
       new /obj/items/Equippable/oar(usr)

It should work, but it's untested.

It wont because you have Del Wood before the thing ends. Del Wood needs to be at the end of the procedure to finish.

It should still work, wood isn't the src and it running shouldn't depend on it.

Run it and try it. I bet you 100% it will fail.

I just tried it, with some added code to actually get it to work(like get() and what not) and the oar showed up in my inventory.

No, it won't fail. The procedure only stops if it is owned by the object which is deleted, for obvious reasons. It does not matter whether any other object is deleted.

As has already been said, it works as long as Wood is not needed anymore.

Really? In the past I could have sworn I tried to delete an obj from a verb and after the obj was deleted the procedure stopped.
