mob/red_team
    icon = 'Red Team.dmi'
    verb
        Team_Communicate(msg as text)
            set category = "Team"
            /mob/red_team << "[src]: [msg]"

Whenever I use it, NO ONE hears it. Heh, as you see, I'm still a nub coder. =/
Help will be appreciated.

mob/red_team
    icon = 'Red Team.dmi'
    verb
        Team_Communicate(msg as text)
             set category = "Team"
             for(var/mob/red_team/M in world)   
                M << "[src]: [msg]"


or

mob/red_team
    icon = 'Red Team.dmi'
    verb
        Team_Communicate(msg as text)
             set category = "Team"
             for(var/mob/M in world)    
                if(istype(M,/mob/red_team))
                   M << "[src]: [msg]"


the first one means less lag and less code. the second one means slightly more lag but greater control for a different type of situation.

Can you also make a teamsay verb using a list? Not asking for the verb, just asking if it would work.

mob/red_team/verb/TeamSay(msg as text)
    var/list/Mobs = list("")
    for(var/mob/M in world)
         if(istype(M,/mob/red_team))
              Mobs += M
    Mobs << "[src]: [msg]"
