Code:
mob/var
   muted = 0

mob/verb/OOC(t as text)
    world<<"<b>[src]:</b> [t]"
        if(usr.muted = 1)
            alert("You Are Muted")
        if(usr.muted = 0)

mob/owner/verb
    Mute( mob/M in world)
        usr.muted=1


Problem description: it says its an invalid expresion

You have 1 tab too many in these lines:
        if(usr.muted = 1)
            alert("You Are Muted")
        if(usr.muted = 0)


What you want is
mob/verb/OOC(t as text)
    world<<"<b>[src]:</b> [t]"
    if(usr.muted = 1)
        alert("You Are Muted")
    if(usr.muted = 0)


I think.

Might also help if you use comparison operators, rather than single equal signs.

if(usr.muted == 1)
//as opposed to
if(usr.muted = 1)


One equal sign sets the value equal to something, two checks to see if the arguments are equal.

The invalid expression error is occurring because you have nothing happening after your second if statement. Add a
world << "\[OOC\][usr]:[t]"

and see if that helps you out.

LIKE THAT?????

mob/verb/OOC(t as text)
    if(usr.muted = 1)
        alert("You Are Muted")
    if(usr.muted = 0)
        world << "\[OOC\][usr]:[t]"

You still aren't fixing your if statements. Two equal signs, not one. But yes, that's closer to what I was saying. Basically DM was complaining because your second if statement was empty so it didn't know what to do with it.

bad

mob/var
   muted = 0

mob/verb/OOC(t as text)
    if(usr.muted)
        alert("You Are Muted")
    else
        world<<"<b>[src]:</b> [t]"
       
mob/owner/verb
    Mute(mob/M in world)
        M.muted=1


a little better

It's not pretty, but it's functional. There are some other posts that show more efficient or readable code in this thread, you may want to look at some of them.

Learn about boolean variables. Vars that will either return TRUE or FALSE aka 1 and 0, and only those are called boolean variables. To make things easier to read and to save space, you should do them as followed.

if(var)

is the same as
if(var == 1)

and
if(!var)

is the same as
if(var == 0)

mob/owner/verb/Mute( mob/M in world)
 M.muted=1

You might want to fix that ;)
