Ok im have a targeting system and it works fine but i want to adjust it to cycle through mobs instead of just randomly pick one, obviously if your using the mouse to target it doesnt matter but i want the player to be able to use only there keyboard if they want. Heres the code:
mob/verb
    Select_Target()
        set category="Commands"
        var
            list/piv=list()
            mob/attack  
        for(var/mob/M in oview(7))
            piv+=M
            attack=pick(piv)
        if(attack == usr||get_dist(attack,usr) >= 10)
            return
        if(attack==usr.target)
            usr.DeleteTarget()
            return
        for(var/image/x in usr.client.images) 
            if(x.icon=='target.dmi') 
                del(x) 
        var/image/I = image('target.dmi',attack) 
        usr<<I 
        usr.target=attack 
        usr<<"You target [attack]"

I think i made this as easy as possible.

mob/verb/picktarget(mob/A in oview(7))//no need for get_dist proc
    set category = "Commands"
    if(A==usr.target)//I think the rest is self explaintory
        usr.DeleteTarget()
    else
        for(var/image/B in usr.client.images)
            if(B.icon=='target.dmi')
                del(B)
        var/image/C=image('target.dmi',A)
        usr<<C
        usr.target=A
        usr<<"You target [A]"

That would be good if it was in Click or DBLClick ;).

See the problem with that is there is a pop up window that ask you which mob, im trying to avoid that for speed, if you look at my code it automatically does it. The only thing i would like to see different would be if it would cycle through the mobs starting with the closest.

In your code, it randomly picks a target. Is that what you want?

no thats what im trying to fix instead of random i want it to go with the closest person first then the next closest and so on.

mob/verb
    Select_Target()
        set category="Commands"
        var
            list/piv=list()

        for(var/mob/M in oview(7, src))
            piv+=M
        if(!piv.len) return

        // try to find our current target in piv
        var/target_in_piv = piv.Find(src.target)
        // cycle back to the first target if our target is the last one
        if(piv.len == target_in_piv) target_in_piv = 0
        // select the next target (or the first target if target_in_piv is 0)
        src.target = piv[target_in_piv+1]

        for(var/image/x in src.client.images) 
            if(x.icon=='target.dmi') 
                del(x) 
        var/image/I = image('target.dmi',src.target) 
        src << I
        src << "You target [src.target]"
