Here is the code with the lines 341 and 348 highlighted

M.HP-=usr.str
var/battle=0

Well, you're not passing the monster found in randbattle to attrand, so it has no clue what M is.


also, even if it's not the solution (should be), it's still good practice to pass arguments to your procs instead of doing M.blah() usr.blech() try using blah(M) and then defining your proc as mob/proc/blah(mob/attacker).

The order of things is based on the order you send em in to, so if you had a proc/blech(mob/attacker, mob/defender)
and called blech(M, usr), then M would be atatcker usr would be defender.
