Whenever i remove all the obj/weapons of my client.screen, it removes them out of my inventory to, i want it to only delete them onscreen. Why doesnt my code work?

mob/verb
    Inventory()
        if(!usr.openalr)
            client.OpenPopup(usr,length=3,width=3,name="Inv")
            usr.openalr = 1
        else
            client.ClosePopup("Inv")
            for(var/obj/weapons/P in client.screen)
                del(P)
            usr.openalr = 0

Because you're thinking "delete" instead of "remove from the list".
for(var/obj/weapons/P in client.screen)
  client.screen-=P

Instead of looping could you make client.screen = newlist()
since it is a list?

Even better: client.screen.Cut().

That would clear out all the objects in client.screen, but he might have other non-weapon things he wants to keep.
