How can i make an object that, once clicked, scans all mobs in the players oview? In a way that scans all mobs in the area then breaks the proc?

proc
    Scan(mob/m as mob, var/distance=5)//DOES NOT SCAN M, SCANS M's OVIEW
       var/list/l=new
       for(var/mob/mm in oview(distance,m))
          l+=mm
       return l


This code snippet scans through all of the mobs in m's oview of the distance argument. It returns a list of all the mobs it found.

//... including code of last post

obj
   thing
      Click()
         for(var/m in Scan(usr))
            world << m


shows each player's icon and name in the result of scan for whoever clicked the object

The whole Scan() proc is just a silly, roundabout, less robust version of the oview() proc.
