Code:
obj
    Minable_Rocks
        var/Rocktype
        icon='Turfs.dmi'
        density=1
        Bronze_Rock

            Rocktype="Bronze"
        Fire_Rock
            icon_state="Fire Rock"
            Rocktype="Fire"
        verb/Mine()
            set src in oview(1)
            var/GotPik
            for(var/obj/Items/Pickaxe/O in usr.contents)
                GotPik = 1
            if(GotPik)
                if(usr.dir==EAST||usr.dir==WEST)
                    if(usr.y==src.y)
                        usr.underlays+=image('Items.dmi',"Pickaxe Animation")
                        usr << "You attemp to mine the [src.Rocktype] Rock..."
                        sleep(15)
                        if(prob(50))
                            usr << "You mine a block of pure [lowertext(src.Rocktype)]."
                            usr.contents+=text2path("/obj/Minable_Rocks/[src.Rocktype]_Rock")
//^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Not working here^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^//
                            usr.underlays-=image('Items.dmi',"Pickaxe Animation")
                            return

                            usr << "You failed to mine anything."
                            usr.underlays-=image('Items.dmi',"Pickaxe Animation")
                            return
                    else
                        usr<<"Try stand to the right(or left) of the rock."
                else
                    usr << "You must be facing right or left to mine."
            else
                usr << "You don't have a Pickaxe."


Problem description:

I'm trying to make it so when you mine a Rock, it takes the Rock's "Rocktype" variable and puts it into a type path and adds it to your contents. If I don't put "new" in front of "usr.contents+=blahblahblah", I get a "runtime error: cannot append to list" error. If I do, it says text2path is an undefind variable. What do I do to make this work?

You're trying to add a type path to a list that only contains actual objects.

Well...How do I make it a real object then?

var/t=text2path("/obj/Minable_Rocks/[src.Rocktype]_Rock")
if(!t) CRASH("Couldn't make [src.Rocktype] rock.")
new t(usr)

Actually, I fixed the problem... I forgot to put certain things in to make it work. :P Oh well. Thanks for your help!
