client
    Center()


        var/mob/M = locate(/mob) in get_dir(usr,mob)


this doesnt work. I want it so it locates M in the space infront of the client that called the center verb. Can anyone help?

You're using get_dir() when you should be using get_step(). Also, usr and mob are the same thing for client/Center() so that won't help you at all. Try this:

client/Center()
    var/mob/M = locate() in get_step(mob,mob.dir) //Look at one space in front of you
    if(M) //Make sure you actually find something
        //Do stuff

You're using the wrong proc, which is why this isn't working for you. get_dir() will return a direction, not a location; and since usr and mob are the same in client/Center(), the direction between them will be 0. What you need is get_step(usr,usr.dir).
