Problem description:
On my attacking code, I am getting a run-time error.
I don't see how it is a type mismatch..
--
runtime error: type mismatch
verb name: Attack (/mob/verb/Attack)
source file: Combat.dm,17
usr: Justin Black (/mob/Player)
src: Justin Black (/mob/Player)
call stack:
Justin Black (/mob/Player): Attack()
Attack (/obj/Skills/Attack): Click("Offensive Skills")

Code:
                    if(istype(A,/mob/))
                        var/mob/M = A
                        var/Damage = 0
                        var/Block = 0
                        Block = round((M.Endurance+M.Defense)/2,1)
                        Damage = round((src.Strength+src.Attack)/2,1) // This would be line 17
                        Damage -= Block
                        M.HP -= Damage
                        s_damage(M,Damage,"red")
                        M.Attack = src
                        M.Death()
                        return

The problem is that either src.Strength, or src.Attack is not a number. I'm guessing it's Attack because you are setting M's Attack variable to a non-number value. You can't add a number to a reference.
