Code:
var/mode

mob
    proc
        Mode()
            switch(input("Which mode to play?") in list ("Singeplayer", "1 vs. 1"))
                if("Singleplayer")
                    mode = "Single Player"
            src.Game()

mob
    proc
        Game()
            if(mode == "Single Player")
                time = 300
                src.Words()
            else
                world << "wtf? no single player?"


Problem description: For some reason I keep getting "wtf, no single player?" I have no idea why this isn't working, but it sure is frustrating me to be so simple.

It really has no point in being a mob var and it didn't work for me as one either. The crazy part is that similar snippets work perfectly in other projects, just not this one for some odd reason.

No there isn't in this case.

Ignore that guy, and you're missing a l in the switch statement in your list, you have singeplayer :P

This is not a good use for text strings. If anything, you should be using predefs, or constants:

#define SINGLEPLAYER 1
#define MULTIPLAYER 2

blah blah blah
  mode = SINGLEPLAYER

blah blah blah
  if(mode == SINGLEPLAYER)
    etc


Or you could use constants instead of the #defines:

var/const/SINGLEPLAYER = 1
var/const/MULTIPLAYER = 2
