I can't figure this out: 
mob
    var/builtstuff=list("")
    PC
        density = 1
        verb
            check()
                var/k = input("What You Want to Build?") in usr.builtstuff
                if(k)
                    new type(k)
                    K.loc = locate(usr.x,usr.y,usr.z)
                else
                    usr<<"You Have To Create Something First"

verb
    create(arg as icon)
        var/obj/J = new(locate(usr.x,usr.y-1,usr.z))
        J.icon = arg
        var/states=list("")
        for(var/L in icon_states(J.icon))
            states+=list("[L]")
        J.icon_state = input("What Icon State?") in states
        J.name = input("Whats It's Name?") as text
        J.density = input("Whats It's Density?") as num
        if(J.density > 1)
            J.density = 1
        J.opacity = input("Whats It's Opacity?") as num
        if(J.opacity > 1)
            J.opacity = 1
        J.layer = input("Whats It's Layer?") as num
        if(J.layer > 7)
            J.layer = 7
        if(J.layer < 0)
            J.layer = 0
        var/cont = input("Would You Like To Set More Advanced Options?","Y or N","No")
        if(cont == "N")
            usr.builtstuff+=J
            return
        if(cont == "Y")
            var/genders=list("male","female","neuter")
            J.gender = input("Whats It's Gender?") in genders
            //J.text = input("What text?") as text
            var/directions=list("NORTH","EAST","SOUTH","WEST")
            var/dit = input("Direction?") in directions
            if(dit == "NORTH")
                J.dir = NORTH
            if(dit == "EAST")
                J.dir = EAST
            if(dit == "SOUTH")
                J.dir = SOUTH
            if(dit == "WEST")
                J.dir = WEST
            usr.builtstuff+=J
            //J:overicon()
            //J:dragicon()
        else
            usr.builtstuff+=J
            return

It's suppossed to let them create an obj and then save it to a list so they can make it again, but I can't get it to remake it... The Create Works Fine.

All the check verb does is move the one I made manually, instead of makinga new one =(

All Help Is Highly Appreitaited and very welcome =D

Try this
<dm>
mob
    var/builtstuff=list("")
    PC
        density = 1
        verb
            check()
                var/k = input("What You Want to Build?") in usr.builtstuff
                if(k)
                    new k.type()
                    K.loc = locate(usr.x,usr.y,usr.z)
                else
                    usr<<"You Have To Create Something First"


I changed new type(k) to new k.type(). Also, you are mixing cases. You have var/k as the variable, but use K (uppercase) when setting the loc. Variables are case sensitive.

oops, the k's look alike to me (calls the eye doctor)

but now it just relocates the original objects that I made, I think it makes them, but doesn't locate them....

Thanks for your help =D

ok, I worked on it some more, and the problem is, I think, that it doesn't know what the icon is, because it was downloaded from the usrs PC.. heres what I have now: 
mob
    var/builtstuff=list("")
    PC
        density = 1
        verb
            check()
                var/obj/k = input("What You Want to Build?") in usr.builtstuff
                if(k)
                    //new k.type(usr.loc)
                    //k.loc = locate(usr.x,usr.y,usr.z)
                    var/obj/J = new/obj(usr.loc)
                    J.icon = k.icon
                    J.icon_state = k.icon_state
                    J.name = k.name
                    J.density = k.density
                    J.opacity = k.opacity
                    J.layer = k.layer
                    J.gender = k.gender
                    J.dir = k.dir
                else
                    usr<<"You Have To Create Something First"

how Do I get it to save the icon for future use?
