Question...why doesnt flick work here

obj
Sword
icon = 'sword.dmi'
layer=MOB_LAYER+1
Bump(mob/M)
flick("hit",M)



Im using this in my battle system where it creates the object right ontop of the mob.. but the bump doesnt work.

Well it wouldn't Bump() unless you called Move() to move it into place. Clearly the place you need to use flick() is in the proc that creates the sword effect in the first place.

obj
  Sword
    verb
      Slash()
        if(isturf(loc.loc))
          var/obj/swordHit/H = new(loc.loc) //Since it's loc is the mob carrying it, loc.loc is the turf he's standing on.
          H.dir = usr.dir
          step(H,dir)
          spawn(5) del(H)

obj
  swordHit
    density = 1
    layer = MOB_LAYER+1
    Bump(atom/A)
      if(ismob(A))
        var/mob/M = A
        del(M)


[edit] Oops, messed something up in there.

well thats not the way my attacking system works so, is there a way i can call a proc or something to check if theres a mob in the objects location?
