Code:
mob/proc
    DeathCheck(mob/M)
        if(src.HP<=0)
            if(src.client)
                M<<output("<font color=red><I>You have killed [src.fname] [src.lname]","chat")
                src<<output("<font color=red><I>You have been killed by [M.fname] [M.lname]","chat")
                src.loc=locate(1,1,1)
                src.HP=src.MaxHP
                src.MP=src.MaxMP
            else
                M<<output("<font color=red><I>You have killed the [src.fname] [src.lname]!","chat")
                src.loc=locate(58,143,8)
                src.HP=src.MaxHP
                src.MP=src.MaxMP
                sleep(300)
                src.loc=initial(loc)

mob/proc
    DeathCheck(mob/M)
        world << "M : [M]"


Add that world output line at the beginning and see what it ouputs, then paste that here so we can troubleshoot. It could be that you're not really passing a mob.

I've already done that half a dozen times,M apparently doesn't exist.

Try something like
M = usr

right above every if statement and such.

That fixed the error for the deathcheck partially,but when I use a projectile,it sends the message to the projectile.

mob/verb
    Firebolt()
     set category="Spells"
     if(usr.wand==0)goto Nowand
     if(usr.MP<10)return
        if(src.delay)
            return
        usr.Magical_Potential-=1
        usr.MEXP+=1
        MLevelcheck()
        src.MP-=10
        src.delay=1
        spawn(6)
            src.delay=0
        new/mob/Firebolt(src)
        return
        Nowand
        usr<<output("<font color=red>You need a wand to cast this!","chat")


mob/proc
     hit(mob/M)
     if(M.def==999999)del(src)
        if(isobj(M))del(src)
        if(isturf(M))del(src)
  push_away(M)
  M.HP -= src.damage
  M.DeathCheck(usr)
        sleep(1)
        del(src)

is it because you have src in the projectile bump? try owner, or make a var called owner.

Do you mean this code?



mob/proc
     hit(mob/M)
     if(M.def==999999)del(src)
        if(isobj(M))del(src)
        if(isturf(M))del(src)
  push_away(M)
  M.HP -= src.damage
  M.DeathCheck(usr)
        sleep(1)
        del(src)


For my bump proc,I use atom/M

This is a pretty simple error. Just make sure that every time you're calling deathcheck() you are passing the appropriate mob to it instead of any old reference.
