You open the chest, the chest opens, no object is created, Im calling new on the object, I cant figure out why its not creating a new object.

    Chest
        icon = 'chest.dmi'
        icon_state = "closed"
        density = 1
        var/list/enclosed_item = list()
        var/list/access_item = list()
        var/list/has_opened = list()
        Chest1
            enclosed_item = (new/obj/Items/Boomerang)
            access_item = (new/obj/Access/Boomerang)
        Chest2
            enclosed_item = (new/obj/Items/Lantern)
            access_item = (new/obj/Access/Lantern)
        Chest3
            enclosed_item = (new/obj/Items/Red_Tunic)
            access_item = (new/obj/Access/Red_Tunic)
        Chest4
            enclosed_item = (new/obj/Items/Wood_Sword)
            access_item = (new/obj/Access/Wood_Sword)
        Chest5
            enclosed_item = (new/obj/Items/Blue_Tunic)
            access_item = (new/obj/Access/Blue_Tunic)
        Chest6
            enclosed_item = (new/obj/Items/Bow)
            access_item = (new/obj/Access/Bow)
    Sign
        icon = 'turfs.dmi'
        icon_state = "sign"
        density = 1
mob
    proc
        Open(obj/Chest/C)
            if(!C.has_opened.Find(src))
                C.icon_state = "open"
                src.frozen = 0
                for(var/obj/B in C.enclosed_item)
                    B.loc = locate(src.x,src.y+1,src.z)
                    src << "You found a [B]!"
                sleep(15)
                for(var/obj/D in C.access_item)
                    D = new(src.acess)
                C.icon_state = "closed"
                C.has_opened += src
                src.frozen = 1
                del(B)
            else
                C.icon_state = "open"
                src << "You open the chest and find it empty!"
                sleep(10)
                C.icon_state = "closed"

Read the reference about how new() works. It's in the format new Type(args).

Eep, I never could figure out how they wanted that to work.

Its not wanting to read the lists, not quite sure why. Heres the proc after a little edit:

    Chest
        icon = 'chest.dmi'
        icon_state = "closed"
        density = 1
        var/list/enclosed_item = list()
        var/list/access_item = list()
        var/list/has_opened = list()
        Chest1
            enclosed_item = (/obj/Items/Boomerang)
            access_item = (/obj/Access/Boomerang)
        Chest2
            enclosed_item = (/obj/Items/Lantern)
            access_item = (/obj/Access/Lantern)
        Chest3
            enclosed_item = (/obj/Items/Red_Tunic)
            access_item = (/obj/Access/Red_Tunic)
        Chest4
            enclosed_item = (/obj/Items/Wood_Sword)
            access_item = (/obj/Access/Wood_Sword)
        Chest5
            enclosed_item = (/obj/Items/Blue_Tunic)
            access_item = (/obj/Access/Blue_Tunic)
        Chest6
            enclosed_item = (/obj/Items/Bow)
            access_item = (/obj/Access/Bow)
    Sign
        icon = 'turfs.dmi'
        icon_state = "sign"
        density = 1
mob
    proc
        Open(obj/Chest/C)
            if(!C.has_opened.Find(src))
                C.icon_state = "open"
                src.frozen = 0
                C.enclosed_item = new
                C.access_item = new
                for(var/obj/B in C.enclosed_item)
                    var/obj/E = new(B)
                    E.loc = locate(src.x,src.y+1,src.z)
                    src << "You found a [B]!"
                sleep(15)
                for(var/obj/D in C.access_item)
                    D = new(src.acess)
                C.icon_state = "closed"
                C.has_opened += src
                src.frozen = 1
                del(B)
            else
                C.icon_state = "open"
                src << "You open the chest and find it empty!"

For the open VERB, it should be:
obj/Chest/verb/Open()
set src in oview(1)
usr.Open(src)

It may be cause for the proc, you didnt define (/obj/Chest/C)

You have NO idea what im doing here do you?

In response to Jotdaniel (#5)
Your proc is Open(/obj/Chest/C)
and you didnt show a verb, so i figured, you didnt make the verb clear with calling the proc. And YES i do know what ur doing, im actually a pretty good scripter. *heads back to help newbies in the newbie forums* Get help from someone else...

I just looked in your script, and, here is my suggestion..
   Chest1
      New()
         src.enclosed_item.Add(/obj/Items/Boomerang)
         src.access_item.Add(/obj/Access/Boomerang)
         ..()

You had nothing to give the chest the item, so, use the New() proc, to give the item to it

I know, my freind did that, weve got it working. It should have worked the way I did it(ive done it that way with other things). The proc is called inside of the attack proc.

Savefiles arent saving lists. Ive got a list called src.chests, I add a chest to it when the user opens up a chest, but its not saving, heres my read and write procs:
mob/Write(savefile/F)
    F << src.x
    F << src.y
    F << src.z
    F << src.contents
    F << src.acess
    F << src.chests
    ..()
mob/Read(savefile/F)
    var {saved_x; saved_y; saved_z}
    F >> saved_x
    F >> saved_y
    F >> saved_z
    F >> src.contents
    F >> src.acess
    F >> src.chests
    ..()
    src.Move(locate(saved_x,saved_y,saved_z))
