        Del()
            var/seed_drop = rand(-5,5)//Negative Number
            while(seed_drop)
                new drop (src.loc,src)
                seed_drop--
            ..()


Okay, if I use a negative number, it laggeths. :9
How could I fix that? With an if statement?

It's because seed_drop will never reach zero if it starts as a negative number, therefor creating an infinite loop. In the context that you're using while(seed_drop), it will only perform the loop until seed_drop equals zero (or null).

In such a situation, I'm not sure why you'd want a negative number anyways.

So there's a bigger chance it won't drop anything. :p
I'll just use an if statement to make it zero.

obj/Del()
    if(prob(50))  //don't forget about prob, as it's a great function
        var/seed_drop=rand(1,5)
        for(var/index = 1 to seed_drop)
            new /obj/seed(loc)
    ..()

Woah, that's a new function I didn't know anything about.
Thanks, Lod!
