Hmmmmm... How do I make this make a missile one square infront of the shooter, rather then on the shooter himself?
mob
    verb
        Missile()
            var/obj/Misc/Missile/B=new(src.loc)
            walk(B,src.dir,5)
            sleep(30)
            del(B)

have you tried changing the 5 to a 4? see if it changes where the missile starts.

Those have nothing to do with the direction, they are the speed of the missile.

Well, I solved that problem, but, how do I make it delete itself as soon as it hits the edge of the map? I dont like howw it hovers there until its time limit is over... I want it to be deleted right when it hits.

            Bump(atom/A)
                world << "[A] got missiled!"
                del(src)
                sleep(10)

I think that if Newloc (in the bullet's Move proc) is null it's trying to go off the map.

bullet_thing/Move(NewLoc,Dir)
  if(!NewLoc)
    world << "The bullet is trying to move to null."
    del src
  else
    return ..()

There's an easier way.

Use the Bump() procedure. that way you don't have to deal with breaking up the move procedure. I try to avoid messing with the move procedure unless it is unavoidable.

Bump(var/atom/blockage)
  if(blockage==null)
    del src

We found out yesterday in Chatters that Bump(null) isn't called... or so I thought. =\
