mob/client/New()
    src.client.eye = locate(16,16,1)

I think it should just be:
client/New()
    src.client.eye = locate(16,16,1)

No. That will not work, because src would probably be the client, and definatly not a mob. You're trying to call a client.client.eye, a variable that does not exist.

I considered replying, but I assumed that his player was mob/client (odd path for a player, I prefer mob/player...) I couldn't figure it out, so I didn't reply.

client/New()
    eye = locate(16,16,1)

well i solved my problem like this 
mob/proc/eye()
    usr.client.eye = locate(16,16,1)
    usr.client.perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE
    spawn(1)eye()

and then calling the eye() in Login()

usr is not always invalid in procs. But, as a rule, if you're using it in a proc, then there's a 75% chance you're using it wrong (remember that verbs are procs!). If you're using it in a movement proc, there's a 99.99% chance you're using it wrong. In other words, unless if you know what usr is, and you know that's what you want, then don't use it.
