Ive been trying to make a vending machine that gives you a random soda and it keeps giving me a "257:error: : invalid expression"
obj/vendingMachine
    icon = 'interactables.dmi'
    density = 1
    icon_state = "vm"
    verb/insert_credit()
        usr << "ding"
        set src in view(1)
        pick(
        new/obj/green_soda(loc),
        prob(50)
        new/obj/blue_soda(loc),
        prob(50)
        )<----- error: : invalid expression

The issue is that pick() isn't a valid expression on its own.

obj/vendingMachine
    icon = 'interactables.dmi'
    density = 1
    icon_state = "vm"
    verb
        insert_credit()
            set src in oview(1)
            usr << "ding"
            var/soda = pick(
                /obj/green_soda,
                prob(50)
                    /obj/blue_soda)
            new soda(loc)


Probability weights actually need to be before the element they influence.

Also, your setting has to be at the top of the verb.
