(See the best response by Rushnut.)
Code:

mob
   Vampire
       Bump(mob/M)
       ..()
       if(istype(M,/mob))
           M.Bite()


Problem description:I cant make "if(istype(M,/obj)" but if I remove "(mob/M)" on bump the vampire cant bite!How I can make if(istype(M,/obj) and delete the obj? Also how I can make vampires respawn at a random location from 0 to 100 x?
Need help,please.

Firstly your Bump() has mob/M defined, so M will only ever be a mob. You want Bump(atom/A).

Then you'll need to typecast in each if statement. So you'll have

if(istype(A,/mob))
     var/mob/M = A
     //(...)


Then simply add an else if branch for your objects

else if(istype(A,/obj))
     var/obj/O = A
     del(O)



As for respawning, look into the locate() proc and the rand() proc. You can find them in the reference, open up DM and press F1.

/proc/foo(mob/M)
    world.log << M.type // "/obj"

/world/New()
    foo(new /obj)


Procs don't typecheck their arguments.
