So I'm trying to put all the skills in a skill tab with an icon for each skill, then allow the player to use the skill be clicking on it.
skill
    parent_type = /obj

    icon = 'Skills.dmi'

    Attack
        icon_state = "Attack"
        Click()
            var/mob/M
            if(M in get_step(usr, usr.dir))
                usr.Attack(M)

mob/verb
    usr.Attack(var/mob/M in get_step(usr, usr.dir))
        set category = "Skills"
        set popup_menu = 0
        if(attdelay || stam < attstam || KOED || train || rest || Deathbox()) return
        AttackDelay()
        ustats()
        M.ustats()
        AttackStam()
        AttackProcs()
        UAMastery()
        SMR()
        if(M.KOED)
            Death(M)
        else
            DamageU(M)
        spawn(attdelayt) attdelay = 0


How do I determine if there is a mob infront of step infront of the char? This just doesn't seem to work.

I know its possible to use for, but won't it use it on every person thats infront of them?

The second usr.Attack should just be Attack.

Inside Click() var/mob/M need to be defined. var/mob/M = locate(get_step()) I believe. I can't recall if you can call verbs in this manner, check the reference for the call() proc, please.

Also, you can use for() and just insert break after you call attack.

It is just Attack, I think I copied it wrong. I was thinking about defining it but wasn't sure how.

Forgive, I think it's locate() in get_step()

Its ok, I went with for/break.
skill
    parent_type = /obj
    
    icon = 'Skills.dmi'
    
    Attack
        icon_state = "Attack"
        Click()
            for(var/mob/M in get_step(usr, usr.dir))
                usr.Attack(M)
                break

Much more cleaner that way.
