here is my copyer code.
obj/copyer
icon='copyer.dmi'
density=1
verb
copy_items()
set src in oview(1)
var/O = input("Pick an item to copy.","Copy Items",) as obj in usr
usr << "You copy a [O:name]."
new O(usr)

but when I try and copy a scroll it does this.
runtime error: Cannot create objects of type /obj/scroll.
proc name: copy items (/obj/copyer/verb/copy_items)
usr: Green Lime (/mob/darkpaladin)
src: the copyer (/obj/copyer)
call stack:
the copyer (/obj/copyer): copy items()

All I am trying to do is make another obj just like that one in the usrs invantory. Can any one help me please?

It makes a new of that type but I want it to copy the name and msg in the Items. So basicaly I want to make a copy of that exact item.

There's two ways I know right off hand to make an exact copy, but they'd be overkill in this case. All you really need is to make a copy like FireKing's shown, and then just set its name and msg to the name and msg of the original one, right?

Spuzzum has a very nice line of code for this in his s_admin library. I've snipped it out and use it many times :o)

O = the object you want to copy.
var/obj/new_O  = new O.type(src)
for(var/V in O.vars)
        if(issaved(O.vars[V]))
                new_O.vars[V] = O.vars[V]
new_O.Move(usr)
