In the code you posted, you have obj and everything below it indented over too far. The way you have it now, obj is part of something else (like /mob/obj).

This is what my full code looks like im starting from the good old basics so tell me if im doing something wrong

mob

icon = 'Player.dmi'
var
HP = 10
var
wealth

Bug
icon = 'Player.dmi'
icon_state = "Bug"

Login()
..()
usr.name = input("What is your name?","Name selection")
usr.icon_state = input("What do you want to be?","Class selection")in list("Man","Bug")
usr.Move (locate (1,1,1))
world << "[usr] has logged in!"

Logout()
..()
world << "[src] has logged out!"

proc
DeathCheck()
if(HP <= 0)
world << "[src] died!"
del(src)
usr.Move(locate(1,1,1))

Del()
var/obj/gold/G = new(loc)
G.amount = rand(1,100)
..()

verb

Attack(mob/M in oview(1))
view() << "[usr] attacks [M]!!!"
var/damage = rand(1,5)
M.HP -= damage
M.DeathCheck()

Say(msg as text)
world << "[usr] Says: [msg]"

obj
gold
icon = 'Gold.dmi'
var
amount
verb
Get()
set src in view(1)
usr << "you pick up [amount]"
usr.wealth += amount
del(src)


turf
Grass
icon = 'Turf.dmi'
icon_state = "Grass"

world
name = "Test"
turf = /turf/Grass

Look at this part:
        obj
                gold
                        icon = 'Gold.dmi'
                        var
                                amount
                        verb
                                Get()
                                        set src in view(1)
                                        usr << "you pick up [amount]"
                                        usr.wealth += amount
                                        del(src)



Due to the way you've indented it, that ends up being:
mob
        obj
                gold
                        icon = 'Gold.dmi'
                        var
                                amount
                        verb
                                Get()
                                        set src in view(1)
                                        usr << "you pick up [amount]"
                                        usr.wealth += amount
                                        del(src)



You need to unindent obj and everything part of it, so that your "obj" isn't /mob/obj

Thanks for the help but i fixed the problem it was with the verb ... Get() not the obj my bad....Sorry for wasting your guys times and acting like a compelete idiot when it was right infront of my face.

Thanks so much for you help.

There's nothing wrong with your Get() verb. As Jon said, your making it seem like your making it be like /mob/obj/ when it's supposed to be /obj/. An example of what you're doing would be this:
mob
    obj
        gold
            icon = 'Gold.dmi'
            var
                amount
            verb
                Get()
                    set src in view(1)
                    usr << "you pick up [amount]"
                    usr.wealth += amount
                    del(src)


Don't do that. I had the same problem when I used that code for the first time. Now, an example of what it's supposed to be wouild be this:
obj
    gold
        icon = 'Gold.dmi'
        var
            amount
        verb
            Get()
                set src in view(1)
                usr << "you pick up [amount]"
                usr.wealth += amount
                del(src)


As you can see. In my second example, it's showing the code as /obj/, instead of /mob/obj/.
As for you var/obj/gold/G problem, indent it one more time so it looks like this:
mob
    bug
        icon = 'bug.dmi'
        icon_state = "bug"
        Del()
            var/obj/gold/G = new(loc)
            G.amount = rand(1,3)
            ..()


And there you have it!
