ok whats wrong is that even when a human mob is beside the player it says the human mob isnt there so obviously im doing it wrong...heres the verb.

    verb/bite()
        if(usr.attacking==0)
            var/list/L = new
            var/mob/Human/person/K
            if(K in oview(1))
                for(K in oview(1))
                    L+=K
                var/mob/p = pick(L)
                if(p.dead==1) return
                spawn()
                    src.attacking=1
                    flick("bite",src)
                    var/k=rand(1,3)
                    src.hp+=k
                    src<<"<b>+[k]</b> hp"
                    src.attacking=0
                    if(src.hp>src.mhp)
                        src.hp=src.mhp
                spawn()
                    p.attacking=1
                    flick("bite",p)
                    p.hp-=rand(1,8)
                    p.death()
                    p.attacking=0
                view(10,src)<<'bite.wav'
            else
                src<<"No humans in view!"

K is null, and the list returned by oview doesn't contain null entries. Set K to "locate() in oview(1)" - you don't have to include the type path in the locate(), because K is defined as the correct type already (smart compiler, huh?). Then simply check to see if K is true. If it's false (null) then there are no human mobs in view.

<code>var/mob/Human/person/K=locate() in oview(1) if(K) //...and so on</code>
