This depends on how attacks work right now. Can you explain in depth what you're going for, and what you've currently got for an attack?

and how do i make it like a loading animation then the real thing?

Not sure at all what you mean here. If you could provide some specifics it'd help.

Change oview(1) to oview(X), where X is the range, and to show a charge up animation, flick("chargeup",usr), then sleep() for the number of frames in the chargeup animation * the tick delay in the chargeup animation.

Tts flick("[icon_state]", object), so it should be flick("chargeup",usr)

mob
verb
Kamehameha(mob/M as mob in oview(1)) //attack a mob within 1 tile of you
set category = "Battle"
flick("bigbang",usr)
sleep(10)
if (M.HP <= 0) //if M's HP are at or below 0...
usr << "[M] is already dead!"
else //otherwise...
usr << "You attack [M] with a Kamehameha!" //send this message to the usr
oview(100) << "[usr] attacks [M] with a Kamehameha!" //send this message to everybody else
var/damage = rand(5,10) //assign a random # to a new variable
world << "[damage] damage!" //tell the damage to the world
M.HP -= damage //take away the damage from M
M:DeathCheck()
