mob
    verb
        Attack(mob/M as mob in oview(1))
            var/damage = rand(usr.strength-M.defense)
            if(damage <= 0)
                usr << "[M] easily dodges your attack!"
                M << "You easily dodge [usr]'s attack."
            else
                M.hp -= damage
                view() << "[usr] attacks [M] for [damage] Damage!"
                M:DeathCheck()
mob
    proc
        DeathCheck()
            if(src.hp <= 0)
                view() << "[src] dies!"
                src.hp = 10
                if(monster == 1)
                    del(src)

Dude, I don't think you are going to get an answer, this is the third time you've posted this, and the other two didn't get answers. So, this is the THIRD post on the SAME topic, all within what..24 hours? 12 hours? less?

Just look for a demo or library in the search. You could have found it if Kunark still had RPG tutorial but he just took it off the hub.

You have to create an A.I. loop. Basically, you just have to create something of a looping procedure that tells the monsters to walk towards players, and attack them. This is the second simplest kind of monster A.I. in my opinion.

I'm not the best at this kind of thing, but I'l give this a stab.

mob/npc
 AI_loop()
  if(locate(/mob in oview(6,src))
   //we begin to detect the monster's target here
   var/mob/target
   var/trange = 7
   for(var/mob/M in oview(6,src))
    if(M.client)
     if(get_dist(src,M)<trange)
      trange = get_dist(src,M)
      target = M
      if(trange==1)
       break
    if(trange==1)
     //attack the player
    else
     src.step_towards(target)
   spawn(X)//replace X with an ammount. The lower, the less time between steps and attacks.
    src.AI_loop()
 New()
  ..()
  spawn()
   src.AI_loop()


This should do it. And by the way, I'm certain other people may have brought this up, but it is rude to make multiple posts if your question dies. If nobody answers, wait a day and try again. DO NOT, however, make multiple posts on different forums on the same topic. You really annoy people when you do stuff like this. Plus, try making your title a bit more descriptive. "Please help" doesn't say a lot. I'd have titled it something along the lines of "Enemy AI help.". Just a heads up for next time.

I agree with Lenox, you shouldn't post the same thing 3 times in the same day. If you question doesn't get answered within a short period of time that doesn't mean you need to repost your question again. Anyways, this post should be in newbie central.

*checks newbie central* You're right, but that makes 4 times <_<. I'm annoyed though; I wrote up a really long and in-depth mini-tutorial for this, but then, I accidently pressed Ctrl+B(Back) instead of Ctrl+V(Paste) <_<
