world
    name= "My World"

mob/verb/Change_World_Name(world/W,n as text)
    W.name=n


Okay, this is yet another example I have made to test what I have learned about object variables. When I put this in it says W is an undefined variable. Can someone explain this to me?

That's because the World is not really an atom in the normal sense. You don't need world/W in the argument. Replace W.name = n with world.name = n. You can access the variables of world just by using the word 'world' followed by the variable name seperated with a period. Hope that clears it up for you.
