(See the best response by LordAndrew.)
Code:
obj
    verb
        get()
            set category=null
            set src in oview(1)
            src.Move(usr)
        drop()
            set category=null
            set src in usr
            src.Move(usr.loc)


Problem description:
I have doors set as objects because later on in my game players will be able to build them. I have a Get verb before all of my objects in my tree code shown above to keep myself from writing the get() verb for every item. But doors have a get verb which I don't want them to. Is there a way to hide that verb for certain objects?

The problem here is that you're attributing get() and drop() to the top level of objs, which mean all children of /obj will have them.

You'd want to do something like:

obj
    item
        verb
            get()

            drop()

    door
        verb
            open()

            close()

Thank you LordAndrew

I actually have another question about this. How do I group these other objects to use just the verb get and drop? I ended up just putting the verb back up top and telling door to hide the get verb.

LordAndrew means:
obj
    item//put all of your object you want to have get() under here
        verb
            get()

            drop()

    door//put all of your object you don't want to have get() under here
        verb
            open()

            close()

            get()

            drop()

        sword
            icon_state = "sword"

Note: Do not copy and paste the code that you get from the forums. When you attempt to make changes to it, it'll give you the indentation error.
