Is the following use of usr valid?

client
    verb
        Say(T as text)
            if(T)
                players << "<font color = '[usr.team ? usr.team.colour : null]'>[usr]: [T]"

//TONS OF TYPE CHECKS

                if(usr.team)
                    world << "usr.team"

                if(mob.team)
                    world << "mob.team"

                if(usr.team &&  mob.team && (usr.team == mob.team))
                    world << "usr.team == mob.team"

                if(usr == src)
                    world << "usr == src"

                else
                    world << "usr != src"

                if(usr == mob)
                    world << "usr == mob"

                else
                    world << "usr != mob"

                if(src == mob)
                    world << "src == mob"

                else
                    world << "src != mob"

    New()
        if(key in admins)
            verbs.Add(typesof(/admin/verb))

        players.Add(src)

        players << "[src] connects."

        return ..()

    Del()
        players.Remove(src)

        players << "[src] disconnects."

        return ..()

var
    list
        admins = list("LordAndrew", "Guest-3550777048")
        players = list()


team is a variable that mobs have (mob/var/team).

Here is the output from joining the server and using Say.

LordAndrew connects.

LordAndrew: TEST
usr != src
usr == mob
src != mob

LordAndrew joins Crimson Scarlets.

LordAndrew: TEST WITH A TEAM
usr.team
mob.team
usr.team == mob.team
usr != src
usr == mob
src != mob


The code works as intended, but I'm wanting to double-check with someone that I'm not abusing usr/doing something entirely wrong. From the above code I would surmise (based on the type checks) that usr and mob are interchangable in the context they were used, but I'm honestly not knowledgable on the subject.

'usr' is generally safe in verbs, so long as you don't do anything funky like calling a verb as if it were a process.

And you are correct, in this case 'usr' and 'mob' (client's) will point to the same /mob.
