say try putting a nubber for the step dealy like, a common delay used with random walk is walk_rand(src,5)

its just a thought.

ok i have change the code and got it working but did a test run and npc move like lightspeed how do i delay the movement
obj
    var
        wander = 0
        stepdelay

obj/proc/Move_mobs()
  for(var/obj/M in world)
    if(M.wander == 1)
      spawn(rand(10, 30))
        walk(M, pick(NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST), stepdelay)
  spawn(60)
    Move_mobs()

Set stepdelay to a number...

The higher the number, the slower the mob will move.

A - You appear to be using objs where mobs tend to be used. Not major, they're both pretty much the same, but possibly not a good idea.

B - Why have you defined that procedure for objs, and yet have it affecting all objs? I bet you're calling it upon new, and that's why everything goes so fast. A better method is this:

mob
    var/wander
    var/stepdelay
    New()
        ..()
        spawn(1) if(wander) walk_rand(src,stepdelay)
