mob
    proc
        alignupdated()
            if(usr.pkpoints >= 23)
                usr.side = "Evil"
            else
                usr.side = "Good"
            if(usr.battlemode)
                sleep(600)
                usr.battlemode = 0
            else
                sleep(1200)
                usr.pkpoints -= 1
            spawn(2)
                if(usr) alignupdated(usr)

My problem is that, it doesnt change the side, unless I re-log into game and load my character, cuz then it re-run the proc... anyone know wtf is going on?

            if(src.pkpoints >= 23)
                src.side = "Evil"
            else
                src.side = "Good"
            if(src.battlemode)
                sleep(600)
                src.battlemode = 0
            else
                sleep(1200)
                src.pkpoints -= 1

How/Where do you call it?
Because, at the bottom, you call it alignmentupdate(src), but you didn't define an argument in your proc.

Sigh... No choice, then.
First of all, remove the usr. It's NEVER good in a proc. (Except Click()/DblClick() and Login() (when you don't change the client's mob?)).
Then, you see how you've wrote;
alignupdated(usr)

You're passing 'usr' as an argument to the alignupdated() proc. The argument should be transferred like so;
mob/proc/aligupdated(mob/M)

This will redirect usr as a mob specifyed as M.

But to fix your problem, just change the
alignupdated(usr)

to
src.alignupdated


AND REMOVE THE USR.

Mysame gave bad advice- First of all, usr is valid in some procs, but telling you that you shouldn't use usr and you automatically choosing src instead is just as bad a thing to do, I suggest you read up-

Also, please don't curse.. it serves no purpose and this is an all-ages forum.
As for your problem:
mob/proc
 alignupdated()
  src.side = "[(pkpoints>=23)?"Evil":"Good"]"
  if(src.battlemode)
   sleep(600)
   src.battlemode=0 // They could log out during the sleep() time.
  else
   sleep(1200)
   src.pkpoints-- // Same here.
  spawn(2) src.alignupdated()

You didn't tell him why or a link to explain why, you gave a few examples but not a complete list, and your first post said "Don't use usr in procs. Just don't.".
