Code:
mob/verb
    Attack()
        set category="Combat"
        flick(usr,"sparfury")
        for(var/mob/M in oview(1))
            if(M)
                M.pl-=usr.str
            else
                usr.xp+=usr.str/2


Problem description:
The problem is, basically, nothing happens. I want to have it so that when nobody's there you train.

The for() list will loop through every instance of the type you specify (mob) in the list you give it (oview(1)). If no mobs are there, though, the loop will never be entered. Also, if multiple mobs are there the player would attack all of them. locate() will work nicely here. =)

mob/verb/Attack()
  var/mob/defender = locate() in oview(1, src)
  if(defender)
    world << "[src] attacks [defender]."
  else
    world << "[src] works on his technique."
