Um...that is not how you use a library. The library includes a file that shows you how to use the library!

You need to pass the mob that will see the quake effect into Quake_Effect(). At the moment you're not passing anything to it, so M ends up null, and boom! Error.

If it's not edited one bit, then why is that "if(M.client == 1) return" line there? In the original code, it is: 
if(!M.client)return

In response to Xeal
Yeah. I didn't even read the other posts even though I see I replied =P. Well, I read the post that Xeal replied to. Get_Steps should be get_step. Also, when you call the quake proc, you need to pass the mob, strength and what ever else is needed.
