So kinda feel dumb that I've researched this topic as much as I have and yet can't figure out how to get it to work so basically I just want to save and load the verbs that a player has gotten, so like if they've leveled up they get this verb or from some quest they get it ect, or they have a verb from an item that's equipped. If I could just figure out how to refer to verbs that the player currently has, or maybe create a conditional state where the player will have the verb, though I'd prefer the former, and not even sure the latter would be possible since that sort of thing doesn't like to be done at runtime.

Conditionals that don't like to be done at runtime? Do you really know what that means?

What's your definition of a conditional.

Actually I think i meant the opposite, basically what I'm saying is you can't create a static verb that is available if the client/mob has the needed conditions to have it or rather you can't have a conditional argument to having a verb available to you.
I've read alot of posts saying why don't you save the condition that gives you the verb, if I knew how to give a verb based on that I'd be fine, but I can't find the reference for it.

like
mob/verb
   if("somethingvar==1")
        something()
            ...stuff


obviously this code is nonsensical but that's what I meant as to what doesn't work.

mob
    var
        V
    verb
        Savenow()
            set name ="Save"
            var/savefile/F = new("players/[usr.key].sav")
            usr.V = usr.verbs
            Write(F)


mob
    verb
        LoadPlayer()
            if(fexists("players/[src.key].sav"))
                var/savefile/F = new("players/[src.key].sav")
                Read(F)
                for(var/stuff in src.V)
                    src.verbs += stuff

You can't just use = with other lists. You do it like this:
mob
    var
        V[0]
    verb
        Savenow()
            set name ="Save"
            var/savefile/F = new("players/[src.key].sav")
            for(var/verb in src.verbs)
                src.V+=verb
            Write(F)
//or
mob
    var
        V[0]
    verb
        Savenow()
            set name ="Save"
            var/savefile/F = new("players/[src.key].sav")
            src.V=src.verbs.Copy()
            Write(F)

The code for loading is correct.
