Can you explain that a little better? I'm not sure what you mean.

The NPC's will roam randomly, and I want it so every once in a while it will hoom in on the player for a second or two, then goto random again.

Something like this?
mob/NPC/var/Follow
proc/NPCMove()
   while(world)
      sleep(5)
      for(var/mob/NPC/M)
         if(prob(20) || M.Follow)
            if(!M.Follow)
               var/mob/Target=pick(Players) // You can keep a list of  players, and add/subtract from it when people log in/out
               M.Follow = Target
            step_towards(M,M.Follow)
         else
            step_rand(M)
         if(prob(35)) M.Follow=null
world/New()
   ..()
   NPCMove()

Untested, and there are a lot of ways you could do it, but I think that'd work.

The thing is... its a single Player game.
so would the target is the only player?

You could do this to refer to the player-
var/Player
mob/Login()
   Player=src

Then you can use Player as a reference, as long as only one person joins.

How can it not let you? I tested it and it worked.

Nevermind, I went over the code and realized what I did wrong. Its perfect thanks!

Is there anyway I can use Deadron's Pathfinding to allow the NPC to go around walls?

Wait 24 hours before bumping, and make sure it's off of the front page.
Plus, Ron's lib already does that.

The thing only works on turfs, not mobs. The rule for bumping is off the front page or 1 day old. It was off the front page, so i bumped it.

It seems the step toward goes to walls then just isnt effecient.
