        strength = 10
        defence = 8

mob
    baddie
        icon = 'misc.dmi'
        icon_state = "baddie"
        maxhealth = 18
        health = 18
        maxmagic = 15
        magic = 15
        strength = 9
        defence = 7

mob
    verb
        punch(mob/M as mob in oview(1))
            var
                damage = usr.strength - M.defence
            if(damage <= 0)
                usr << "[M] isn't affected by your attack"
            else
                M.health -= damage
                usr << "Your hit [M] for [damage] health!"


Problem description:
This is a little project of mine, the above is all the code I've made in one little 'misc' code file.
My problem is when I 'punch' the 'baddie' it tells me im not hitting him.

Fire Away!

Nowhere in your code are you setting clients as mob/player, so they're not starting with the stats you set for the player. You're not hitting him because your strength is null.

Awk, I get you.
How would i set the client as the mob 'player'?

client
    New()
        mob = new/mob/Player
        ..()


Something like that should work.

The more typical method is to define world/mob, which holds the path to the default mob for new clients.

world/mob = /mob/Player

Didn't know that. I had assumed world/mob would define all mobs, not just clients. Thanks for the heads up.

This code is working fine for me:
world
    name = "New World"
    turf = /turf/grass
    mob = /mob/player

mob
    var
        maxhealth
        health
        maxmagic
        magic
        strength
        defence

turf
    grass
        icon = 'misc.dmi'
        icon_state = "grass"

mob
    player
        icon = 'misc.dmi'
        icon_state = "player"
        maxhealth = 20
        health = 20
        maxmagic = 15
        magic = 15
        strength = 10
        defence = 8

        Login()
            world<<"[src.name] enters"
            ..()

mob
    baddie
        icon = 'misc.dmi'
        icon_state = "baddie"
        maxhealth = 18
        health = 18
        maxmagic = 15
        magic = 15
        strength = 9
        defence = 7

mob
    verb
        punch(mob/M as mob in oview(1))
            var
                damage = usr.strength - M.defence
            if(damage <= 0)
                usr << "[M] isn't affected by your attack"
            else
                M.health -= damage
                usr << "Your hit [M] for [damage] health!"


(I moved Login() to under the /mob/player type, but it worked without that change, too)

Make sure you're attacking a /mob/baddie and not another /mob/player.
