We can't help you without code. We are not telepaths or people with remote access to your PC.

Sure we can. The error message is pretty damn clear: he's not providing an argument to DeathCheck().

The DeathCheck() is also written backwards: src should be the mob that is being attacked, while the argument should be the attacker. He has it the other way around, which just makes things more complicated.

Which is exactly why I had assumed we couldn't help him without the code.

Well, you'd have to be really silly to do something like:

del(M)
if(M.HP < 0)
  //...


so I'd rule that out.

Then again...

Actually, you know what? Ignore everything I said in this thread, 'cause I had a major eff-up in my thought process when I read that runtime. -_-

Look, I may be a noob, but not that much...
