The way he had it was fine. He only asked how to make it if you double click the mob it will give you gold the first time then say scram.

mob
    var
        given = 0
mob
    Jimmy
        icon='person.dmi'
        icon_state="cleric_m"
        DblClick()
            set src in oview(1)
            if(!usr.given)
                usr<<"Hello, heres 50 gold"
                usr.gold+=50
                usr.given=1
            else
                usr<<"Scram!"


You have to change src in all except for set src in oview(1) because you do not want the mob to give gold to it self, now do you?

It should be noted that the src setting doesn't do anything in procs (unless they are used as verbs). If you only want people in a certain range to get the money, you can use get_dist().

Also, this mob will only had out money once. If this is a multiplayer game and you want him to hand out money to each person once, then you'd want to replace the given variable with a list. Then, you'd check for the player's name in the list when they DblClick()ed him, if it wasn't, give them the money and add their name to the list. =)
