var/obj/arrow/A = new(usr.loc)
walk(A,usr.dir,2)
sleep(100)
del(A)
obj/arrow
icon = 'items.dmi'
icon_state = "arrow"
density = 1
Bump(mob/M)
if(ismob(M))
var/arowdmg = rand(10,20)
M.HP -= arowdmg

usr does not belong on Bump(). The arrow needs to have a var telling it who its owner is.

Uhhhh I would guess yes. Like Lummox Jr said, just make a reference variable to the bow O.o or maybe not *shrug* Im not good at the whole deal with usr not putting some places than others. The worst part is I read plenty of information to tell me why not to do it.

[EDIT]
Ah ha!, take a look http://www.byondscape.com/ascape.dmb/LummoxJR.2002-1104/

No, but it's a problem. Basically as long as you have problems like usr abuse in your code, it's difficult to correct real bugs, so it's much better to fix this now and then tackle the problem at hand.
