Code:
    Meditate()
        set category="Train"
        if(usr.meditating == 1)
            usr.medtime = 5
            spawn(50)
                usr.medtime = 0
            usr.icon_state = ""
            usr << "You stop meditating."
            usr.meditating = 0
            return
        if(usr.meditating == 0)
            if(usr.medtime == 0)
                if(usr.energy > 2)
                    usr.meditating = 1
                    usr.icon_state = "meditate"
                    usr << "You begin to meditate."
                    spawn(30)
                        meditation(src)
                    return
                if(usr.energy < 2)
                    usr.meditating = 0
                    usr.icon_state = ""
                    usr << "You need to rest!"
            if(usr.medtime == 5)
                usr << "You must wait before meditating again."


Problem description:
Everything works except after you stop meditating the stats keep going up anyway. How do I stop this from happening?

Let us see the proc meditation(). I believe you have an infite loop.

meditation(mob/M as mob)
    usr.exp += 1
    usr.str += 1
    usr.dex += 2
    usr.maxpl += 1
    usr.energy -= 2
    spawn(30)
        meditation(src)


its definitely the infinite loop problem. How do I fix that?

Have some kind of cut off point somewhere.

if(usr.energy < 100>
meditiation(src)

But if it's over or equal, then it will not loop again.

It's still doing infinite meditation =/

Meh, show us your code again, or better, come in Chatters sometime and use /showtext. Ignore the DBZ bashers there. (like me <_< )

Ummm... why do you have an argument for that procedure if you're going to use usr and src in it? That's just baaaaad.

And before LummoxJr does it:

No put usr in proc. Ungh.

meditation() //There was no need for that M variable.
    do
        src.exp += 1
        src.str += 1
        src.dex += 2
        src.maxpl += 1
        src.energy -= 2
    while(src.energy > 2)
    src << "You stop meditating."


There >_> I would comment it out to the max but it's pretty simple to understand.
