Code:
world/New()
    ..()
    spawn()
        begin1()
proc/begin1()
    for()
        if(going1)
            for(var/turf/top1/T in world)
                if(prob(30)) new /obj/block1(T)
                sleep(5)
        else
            sleep(5)
            ..()


Problem description:
runtime error: Cannot execute null.begin1().
proc name: begin1 (/proc/begin1)
usr: null
src: null
call stack:
begin1()
: New()

Thats the runtime error, I'm pretty sure this means that it cannot execute null begin1 because begin1 is set up as proc/begin1 thus it would be null/proc/begin1 though I'm not sure of a way around it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

A proc defined at no indentation and without a source type is normally automatically interpreted as a world proc, so I can't see what causes src to be null here...

Try...

world/New()
    ..()
    spawn()
        begin1()

proc/begin1()
    for()
        while(!going1) sleep(5)
        for(var/turf/top1/T in world)
            if(prob(30)) new /obj/block1(T)
            sleep(5)

Turn debugging mode on to get more accurate information in your runtime errors.

I'm not sure if it will change much, but I think you should take out the ..() in there. There's probably no reason you need to call the parent proc of something without a parent.
