Code:
mob
    proc
        startsaga()
            if(sagas == 1)
                sleep(10)
                Deathcheck()
                new /mob/monsters/zombie(locate(usr.x,usr.y-1,usr.z))
                world << "Zombie the new begining."
                if(src.dead == 1)
                    world << "Zombie has been Killed"
                    sagas = 2
                    usr << "uno"
                    Deathcheck()
                    world << "Zombie has been Killed"
                    startsaga()
            if(sagas == 2)
                spawn(10)
                    new /mob/monsters/goblin(locate(usr.x,usr.y-1,usr.z))
                    world << "Terror of the Goblin"


Problem description: its not realizing that the zombie is dead

Odd code, but show me your deathcheck proc...

Also here's a tip, a quicker and more pro way of doing
if(usr.cool==1)

Just do...
if(usr.cool)

If it has no "==[number])" it means its one.

For
if(usr.cool==0)

use
if(!usr.cool)

Exactly same but looks better.

Slightly incorrect, if(Var) means it will happen if the value is true.

True value (in DM) = Everything EXCEPT 0, FALSE, null, "" <-- empty string

False = Well, read the exception above ;/


And you should at least mention that it is a boolean method

That's because putting Deathcheck() there doesn't mean "wait until the zombie dies." It just means it's calling Deathcheck()... for src.

Speaking of which: all these instances of usr should be src. The whole proc doesn't really make sense as a proc belonging to mob, either.

You're going to have to change mob/monsters/zombie/Deathcheck() to cause the "Zombie has been Killed" message and start the next event.
