mob
    enemies
        Bump(mob/m) //when you bump into it
            if(istype(m,/mob)) //making sure it's a mob
                m.hp-- //lowers their HP
                m.Death_Check() //eh... obvious.


It never does anything.

1. Bump() is called for an atom when it moves into a dense object. The argument passed into Bump() is what the atom bumps into. The way you have it - I don't know if this is how you intended it - is if a mob with the type /mob/enemies bumps into a mob, then it lowers the latter mob's HP.

2. Use the ismob() proc for this case.

istype() works fine here. There's no need for him to switch.

Well, it's not imperative that he change it, but I like it better >_>

if(ismob(whatever)) is just shorter from if(istype(whatever,/mbo)) >.>;

atom/movable
    Bump(var/atom/a)
        .=..()
        a.Bumped(src) // 'a' will be bumped.
atom
    proc
        Bumped(var/atom/a)

mob
    enemies
        Bumped(var/atom/a) // when you bump into it.
            if(ismob(a))
                var/mob/m = a
                m.hp--
                m.Death_Check()
