You haven't told the compiler what kind of var <code>player</code> is, so it doesn't know that it has a <code>fight</code> var. By the compiler's reasoning, <code>player</code> is not neccessarily a mob, so it won't neccessarily have the <code>fight</code> var.

What you have to do is tell the compiler that <code>player</code> will always be a mob; you do that by defining it as <code>mob/player</code> instead of <code>player</code>.

Note that you still refer to it as <code>player</code> when you use it; the <code>mob/</code> bit just tells the compiler that it's a mob.
