Himura Kenshin	ok well I'm trying to set my category as a var, making clans and want the verbs to go in a clan panel. Here is what I'm doing and the error I get (I didn't used to get this) = : bad text set category = "[usr.clanname]"

= : bad text
set category = "[usr.clanname]"

The category text must be a constant. (At least that's what my backup test with "[rand(0,4)]" told me.) usr.clanname is not constant. You may have better luck just setting the category equal to "Clan".
