(See the best response by The Motto.)
Code:
obj
 Gold_Chest
        name = "Golden - Chest"
        icon = 'Objects.dmi'
        verb
            Drop()
                src.loc=locate(usr.x,usr.y-1,usr.z)
            Grab()
                set src in oview(1)
                src.loc = usr
                usr<<"You opened a [src]!"


Problem description: How would I code in that if I were to click the chest, I would gain gold. I've tried this but errors pop up. And I dont know how to create a proc for it.

obj
 Gold_Chest
        name = "Golden - Chest"
        icon = 'Objects.dmi'
        verb
            Drop()
                src.loc=locate(usr.x,usr.y-1,usr.z)
            Grab()
                set src in oview(1)
                src.loc = usr
                usr<<"<font color=gold>You opened a [src]!"
            var/tmp/goldadd = rand(10-55)
                usr.gold += goldadd

obj
    Gold_Chest//should be tabbed properly
        name = "Golden - Chest"
        icon = 'Objects.dmi'
        verb
            Drop()
                src.loc=locate(usr.x,usr.y-1,usr.z)
            Grab()
                set src in oview(1)
                src.loc = usr
                usr<<"<font color=gold>You opened a [src]!"
                var/tmp/goldadd = rand(10-55)//Same here should be tabbed properly
                usr.gold += goldadd
        Click() // when it is being clicked
            src.Grab()//run verb you created Grab
            return..()//the return with its default behaviour it need to do


Here are the tips
1.Tab your work properly or you will get error 'error: inconsistent indentation'
2.Always use Dream Makers help file which can be accessed by pressing F1

You need to use the Click() proc here's an example
obj
 Gold_Chest
        name = "Golden - Chest"
        icon = 'Objects.dmi'
        Click()
            src.loc = usr
            usr<<"<font color=gold>You opened a [src]!"
            var/tmp/goldadd = rand(10-55)
                usr.gold += goldadd

if you dont understand what i did ask.

I do believe he doesn't want the grab proc to be active and in grab it has set src in oview ( i know ur just giving him an example) just what that line to set hidden = 1 if he wants the verb itself to be inactive

Well its late where i live and i was as half sleep so i just helped his as quickest way i could.
Edit: You are making same mistake as he is (not tabbing properly) when he copies the code to try he will end up getting errors on inconsistent indentation

Its better to use this
usr.gold += rand(10, 55)
