How would u make it so that it reads that the object has already been used sorta like for a scroll
You can write on it, and read it but once its written on it says u cant write on it.

Have a text variable for this scroll, and keep it null otherwise. If it has anything on it, therefore returning true, don't allow users to write on it.
obj/scroll
    icon=''
    icon_state=""
    var/text
    verb/Write_Scroll()
        set src in oview()
        if(src.text) {usr<<"You cannot write to this.";return}
        src.text=input("What should the scroll say?")as null|message
