Ok, I have this proc named namecheck()
mob/proc/namecheck()
usr.name=usr.fname
but whenever I use it I get a runtime error and the users name dosn't change do you know why?

try

usr.name = "[usr.fname]"

this works because usr.name usually uses a text string, which is why we use the "" marks, and the usr.fname is a string as well, or a variable, these are seperated in text strings with the [] symbols... basic stuff, but useful!!!
if this were a number, there would be no problem, but since it's not...... BYE!!!

usr.name=usr.fname would work just fine if usr.fname is a text string.
