Code:
world
    fps = 25      // 25 frames per second
    icon_size = 32    // 32x32 icon size by default
    mob=/mob/mammal/human/player
    view = 6     // show up to 6 tiles outward from center (13x13 view)

    proc
        worldGenerate(t as num)
            src.maxx = t
            src.maxy = t


// Make objects move 8 pixels per tick when walking

mob
    mammal
        human
            player
                icon = 'human.dmi'
                Login()
                    var/t
                    t = input("Please choose a world size") in list(" Large  (200x200) "," Medium  (100x100) "," Small  (50x50) ")
                    switch(t)
                        if(" Large  (200x200) ")
                            worldGenerate(200)
                            world<<"large"
                        if(" Medium  (100x100) ")
                            worldGenerate(100)
                            world<<"medium"
                        if(" Small  (50x50) ")
                            worldGenerate(50)
                            world<<"small"
                    usr<<"You wake up this morning and feel strange..."
                    usr.casual_speed = 5
                    usr.step_size = casual_speed
                    ..()


Problem description:
worldGenerate() is not a defined proc because its with world but i don't know a way to get around it...

Don't place it under world.
proc/worldGenerate()
    // do stuff

how can i do that while still being able to change the world vars

Just as you would anything.
proc
    worldGenerate(x = world.maxx, y = world.maxy)
    // make x and y default to the current dimensions
    // if you send a different value to x or y then it will override the default
        world.maxx = x
        world.maxy = y

I've never tried changing the maxx and maxy at runtime before, so I'm not even sure if you can. Worth a shot, though.

proc
    worldGenerate(t)
        world.maxx = t
        world.maxy = t

You can also leave the proc inside world and change how you call it, just change "worldGenerate()" to "world.worldGenerate()".

Thanks everyone, it works. To Albro, you are able to change it at runtime apparently :)
