in my tank game i am making i have the fire command and im trying to add an Explosion when it hits somthink.
obj
    density = 1
    icon = 'objs.dmi'
    icon_state = "bullet"
    Bullet
        Bump(mob/M)
            if(ismob(M))
                M.HP -= 10
                Explosion()
                M.DeathCheck(src)
            del(src)

mob
    verb
        Fire()
            if(src.fired == 1)
                src << "You already fired WAIT!!!."
                return
            if(src.Ammo <= 0)
                src << "Not enough Ammo to fire."
                return
            src.Ammo -= 1
            src.fired = 1
            flick("fire",src)
            var/obj/A = new /obj/Bullet (src.loc)
            A.dir = src.dir
            walk(A,A.dir,1)
            sleep(10)
            <font color = red>Explosion(A)<font color = black>
            src.fired = 0
            del(A)
proc
    Explosion()
        for(var/turf/X in range(src,1))
            spawn(9)
            X.overlays += /obj/Explosion
            spawn(12)
            X.overlays.Cut()

obj
    Explosion
        icon = 'turfs.dmi'
        icon_state = "Explosion"
        layer = MOB_LAYER + 1

Three things:

1) Please pick more descriptive topics when you post in the forum. "Help plz" doesn't say much. Making it relevant to the content of your post would be nice.

2) It's a lot better to put <dm> tags around your code than <code>.

3) You forgot to show the code for your Explosion() proc.

Well, look what you're doing. You're passing in the target to Explosion(), but then Explosion() isn't doing anything with it. Instead, you're using src. But it's a global proc, not a mob proc, so using src makes no sense. (It is a global proc, right?)

What you need to do is have Explosion() take the argument it's given, and apply the overlay to that object instead.
