I get a runtime "bad client" error whenever I run this. Can anyone help me fix this code?
mob
    GM
        verb
            WatcherToPlayer()
                set name = "Make a Watcher into a Player"
                set category = "Player Controlls"
                var/watchers = list()
                for(var/mob/Watcher/M in world)
                    watchers[M.key] = M
                var/mob/M = input() in watchers
                if(istype(M,/mob/Watcher))
                    if(M.client)
                        var/nowclosed = CLOSED
                        CLOSED = 1
                        M:client:mob = new /mob/Login_Mob (null)
                        del(M)
                        CLOSED = nowclosed
                else
                    alert(src,"You can
only perform this action on a watcher.")

the things i made red seem to be iffy to me.

especially the colon's. If you cant use periods, figure out how to code it differently so you can, and you probably wont have any problems. Also, try another variable name for the second "M", that may be confusing it or something.
