Right im creating a Tag game out of boredom how would i make a proc pick a random person to be the tagger if the old tagger logs out?

var/mob/it//Person who is it.
proc/Pick()
  var/l[0]//Define a new list.
  for(var/mob/M in world){if(M.client){l+=M}}//Add players to list.
  it=pick(l)//Pick from list.

Define pick..? It's a built-in proc which PICKs an element from a list. Use F1 to look it up in Dream Maker and it'll show you different ways to utilize it.

That's because I never even had pick[l]... Look at my post again. I had pick(l).
