Code:
        Moves()
            while(src)
                if(client)
                    if(ai!=1) return
                var/location=src.loc
                var/atk=0
                if(!usr) return
                sleep(5)
                if(!usr) return
                if(usr.target)
                    step_to(usr,usr.target,1)
                    if(get_dist(usr,usr.target)<=5)
                        usr.target=null
                else
                    for(var/mob/M in view())
                        if(M.clan!=src.clan)
                            step_towards(src,M)
                    for(var/mob/M in view(1))
                        sleep(1)
                        if(M.clan!=src.clan)
                            atk=1
                            step_towards(src,M)
                            AttackB()
                    if(location==src.loc&&!atk)
                        step_rand(src)
                continue

                continue


since you used 
for(var/mob/M in view())
The mob who's trying to move to someone else moves to itself.you should use 
for(var/mob/M in oview())
instead so it cuts itself out of the picture walks to OTHERS instead of moving to itself.

if(M.clan!=src.clan) takes care of that so its not a real big deal, the only problem i have is getting the mobs to step_to

heres the other part of the code.

mob
    Lords
        verb
            Attack_Wu_Castle()
                set category="Lord"
                for(var/mob/M in world)
                    if(M.name=="Wu Lord")
                        usr.target=M
                for(var/mob/M in view())
                    if(M.client)
                        M<<"[usr] demands you to attack Wu Lord!"
                    M.target=usr.target
            Attack_Wei_Castle()
                set category="Lord"
                for(var/mob/M in world)
                    if(M.name=="Wei Lord")
                        usr.target=M
                for(var/mob/M in view())
                    if(M.client)
                        M<<"[usr] demands you to attack Wei Lord!"
                    M.target=usr.target
            Attack_Shu_Castle()
                set category="Lord"
                for(var/mob/M in world)
                    if(M.name=="Shu Lord")
                        usr.target=M
                for(var/mob/M in view())
                    if(M.client&&M!=usr)
                        M<<"[usr] demands you to attack Shu Lord!"
                    M.target=usr.target
            Attack_GM_Castle()
                set category="Lord"
                for(var/mob/M in world)
                    if(M.name=="GM Lord")
                        usr.target=M
                for(var/mob/M in view())
                    if(M.client)
                        M<<"[usr] demands you to attack GM Lord!"
                    M.target=usr.target

No NO NO No No.If M is src which unless you use 
for(var/mob/M in oview())
Then 
if(M.clan == src.clan)
is useless.He'll still move to himself

Hmm, anyone able to help me?

I don't see walk_to neither step_to in that code... Sorry if I missed something.

As for an example of how to walk to someone,
mob/verb/step_towards_someone(mob/m in world)
  while(src)
    step_towards(src,m)

oops, i ment step_to... but its in there, here it is..
                if(usr.target)
                    step_to(usr,usr.target,1)
                    if(get_dist(usr,usr.target)<=5)
                        usr.target=null


I know how to make the mob move, but i don't want him to move in that direction, i want him to get to to target without having to worry about objects in his way.

You mean flot to him? Just set his density to 1. lol

Or do you mean teleport to him? Use locate() for that.

In response to DivineO'peanut
ehh, i want him to walk to the lord so he can kill, him, but i want the mob to move around objects... is that more clear?

Directly from Reference:
<small>
Move Ref on a path to the location Trg, taking obstacles into account. If Ref is within Min steps of Trg, no action will be taken. This is also the case if the target is too far away (more than twice world.view steps).
