Return WILL end a proc, it doesnt restart it. Which is why you can do something like this

mob/verb/Blaah(mob/M)
if(!M.key)
return // END THE PROC, if they dont have a Key
src << "Baah"
M << "Baah"
M.loc = src.loc

or whatever.

HERE IS MY CODE:

mob/trainer

mob/trainer/var
beingused = 0

mob/trainer/Click()
if(beingused == 0)
switch(input("Skill","What SKILL?")in list("SWORDS","MACES"))
if("SWORDS")
usr.PSW()
beingused=1
if(beingused == 1)
switch(input("Stop?","Stop training?")in list("Yes","No"))
if("Yes")beingused=0
if("Yes")return
if("No")beingused=1

mob/proc/PSW()
src.Sowrds +=05
spawn(50)
PSW()

var
beingused=0

mob/proc/PRAC()
if(beingused == 1)PSW()

IT JUST SAYS WHAT SKILL?I click swords then it says stop training same click, i click No and it starts training me, when i click it again it says stop training?i click yes and then pops up what skill and if i click maces which doesn't have a proc yet it still trains swords..WHY and how do i fix this???

Here's the culprit:

if(beingused == 1)
   switch(input("Stop?","Stop training?")in list("Yes","No"))
      if("Yes")beingused=0
      if("Yes")return 
      if("No")beingused=1

The switch statement exits as soon as it finds a match. This means the second if("Yes") will never be checked, which is why you're incorrectly assuming that it doesn't return here.

Instead, code it like this:

if(beingused == 1)
   switch(input("Stop?","Stop training?")in list("Yes","No"))
      if("Yes")
         beingused=0
         return 
      if("No")beingused=1

Or even more simply:

if(beingused == 1)
   if(input("Stop?","Stop training?")in list("Yes","No") == "Yes")
      beingused=0
      return 
   else
      beingused=1

Even if you get this code to "work", but if I'm reading it correctly, it still won't work... even if you hit stop practicing, it will still keep spawning PSW(). You need to learn to read through your code, line by line, and follow what is called the "thread of execution." That is, start at the first line of the proc, and in your mind, think about what will happen when that executes. Then go to the next line, and do the same. Don't just decide to stop at the point where you want the code to stop. Keep reading, following all the spawns and loops, doing any math and changes in your head, until you get to a point where the code actually does stop.

Your switch statement has two code sections under it... the first if the user inputs "SWORDS", and a second section which is meaningless, because the user cannot input beingused==1

Read up on switch in the Reference.
