Weird runtime...

runtime error: Cannot read null.x
proc name: Lives Left (/mob/verb/Lives_Left)
  usr: Yoran91 (/mob)
  src: Yoran91 (/mob)
  call stack:
Yoran91 (/mob): Lives Left()

This is the verb's coding:
Lives_Left()
        var/red = "[global/redleft]"
        var/blue = "[global/blueleft]"
        usr << "Red has [red] lives left."
        usr << "Blue has [blue] lives left."

And no, it's not the mob/verb that's missing.

You're not trying to read the x var of anything in that snippet you posted, so the error must be somewhere else. Perhaps you didn't post all of Lives_Left() by mistake? Turn on debug mode so that there's a line number in the error message.

That "global/redleft" reference looks like you're trying to access a global var called "redleft", but there's absolutely no need for the "global/" bit; it won't work how you want it to anyway. Just "redleft" will do fine.

Try replacing those four lines with:

usr << "Red has [redleft] lives left."
usr << "Blue has [blueleft] lives left."

In response to Crispy
That worked. Thanks.
