I was curious as what to use when I want to make a verb (ie an attack) to effect all the players on the screen. I know how to target one person at a time, but not everyone at the same time.

mob/verb/explode()
  view() << "[usr] explodes!"
  for(var/mob/M in oview(src))
    del(M)

Notice if you wish to attack EVERYONE you will have to use view, because oview cuts out the src.

If you used view() then you'd potentially end up deleting yourself before you've hit everybody else. You'd have to put del(src) outside the for() loop if you wanted to do that.

Well, I hadn't planned on attacking myself >.>
