This is my code
mob
    Bump(M)
        return
        if(istype(M,/mob/shopkeeper/Curly))
            global.shopcontents = M.contents


But whenever I compile it it comes up with this error:

ShopKeepers.dm:118:error:M.contents:undefined var

could someone help me.

1) Why is return before istype? Bad bad bad, the proc will stop before it reaches the next line :P

2) You put Bump(M) which is basically var/M ... what you want is Bump(atom/M) if you're planning to use Bumps for things other than mobs (like objs)... atom's have the built-in variable (the contents list) >.>

That'd be because M isn't pointing to anything. That and you're cancelling the proc with return before it even gets to the check.

mob
    Bump(atom/M)
        if(istype(M,/mob/shopkeeper/Curly))
            global.shopcontents = M.contents

Not exactly the best idea there. Whenever you edit the shopcontents list you'll be editing the M.contents list too. More likely you need a copy of that contents list, not the list itself.

I dont want to edit it, I just need to know what mobs contents to display
