How would i make it so that the attacker has to be facing what he wants to attack or it wont do anything.
mob/characters
verb

Attack(M as mob in oview(1)) /*The "M as mob in oview 1" part will make it so you do this to a mob that is in front of you only, you can edit the oview(#) to the amount of spaces away the attack can effect*/
set category = "Actions"
if(usr.attacked)return
flick("attack",usr) /*this will make the user look like he is punching*/
var/damage = rand(Strength)
if(damage <= 0)
usr << "Your attack doesnt do any damage to [M]"
else
attacked=1
sleep(2)
damage -= M:Defense
M:HP -= damage
M:DeathCheck() /*this will insure that after each attack that the opponent can die according to the deathcheck proc*/
usr << "[src] Attacks [M] For ([damage])!"
sleep(15)
attacked = 0

mob/var/attacked=0

if((get_step(usr,dir) != M.loc)
   return // Not facing M, return proc. (Or you can do anything you want, like alert("Face the thing.")

mob/characters
  verb
    SwingYerSwordThingy() //So it doesn't conflict with the proc.
      set name = "Attack"
      set category = "Actions"
      if(attacked) return
      var/mob/M = locate() in get_step(src,dir)
      if(M)
        Attack(M)
  
  proc
    Attack(mob/M)
      //Attacking stuff here.  Use src, not usr.

In response to Baedock
Everything between <code>Attack(M as mob in oview(1))</code> and <code>proc</code> has to be indented once more.
