Code:
    proc/BlasT()
        if (MP < 2+(blastlevel*2))
            usr << "Not enough MP"
        else
            usr << "You shoot your Blast"
            MP -= 3+(blastlevel*2)
            var/obj/beam = new/obj/spells/firebolt
            beam.dir = usr.dir 
            beam.loc = usr.loc
            while(beam) 
                step(beam,beam.dir) 
                var/turf/T = beam.loc 
                if(T.density == 1)
                    del(beam) 
                    break
                for(var/mob/M as mob in T)
                if(istype(M,/mob/enemies))
                    var/damage = round(((rand(1+(blastlevel*3),3+(blastlevel*3)))*((Intelligence/100)+1)),1)
                    M.HP -= damage
                    usr << "You Blasted the enemy for \blue[damage] damage"
                    del(beam) 
                    DeadEnemy(M)
                sleep(1)


Problem description:

ok this is my first time using the developer forums to ask for help on a code problem (dont like to admit when i cant do something) but the problem is this everything works with the projectile except when it hits the monster it dosent hit the monster it just keeps going like the monster has no density but it does and i dont even know if the damage would work because it dosent hit the monster help?

Maybe you should change projectile to density 1 too?Sorry if this is a bad advice >.<.

Yea, make the projectile density 1 and use the bump() proc to detect what its hitting.

LOL I didn't know I was right.I'm still a beginner coder .

You should not be using usr in procs. I assume this proc belongs to mob, so you should be using src instead of usr in every instance. Especially because you're already mixing src and usr.

                if(M)
                    Bump(M)
                    Attack(M)
                    MP -= 3+(blastlevel*2)
                    M.HP -= damage
                    usr << "You Blasted the enemy for \blue[damage] damage"
                    del(beam)
                    break
                    DeadEnemy(M)
                sleep(1)


ok so thats the new code but the problem is with the var/turf/T = beam.loc part of the code while the blast has a density theres nothing ever with in the same tile its in so can anyone help on fixing it?
