In one of my rpgs this is what i did for my guards:

mob/guards/Recruit_Guard
    var/mob/monsters/P
    icon = 'guards.dmi'
    icon_state = "recruit"
    New()
        .=..()
        spawn(1)
            Wander()
    proc/Wander()
        while(src)
            if (P in oview(1))
                step_towards(src,P)
            else
                step_rand(src)
                for(P in view(src))
                    break
            sleep(10)
        spawn(40)
            Wander()

Erm, that code is error-ridden. Let's go through it, shall we?

proc/Wander()
while(src)
if (P in oview(1)) //oview(1) == oview(usr,1) == BAD! Don't use usr in procs. Change it to oview(src,1).
step_towards(src,P)
else
step_rand(src)
for(P in view(src)) //So you lok for a monster in view(src), and if you find one, stop looking? This is pointless.
break
sleep(10)
spawn(40) Why would you call Wander() when the while(src) check fails? That would mean that src no longer exists, and thus, this is useless.
Wander()

I got rid of everything that wasnt required in that code... i was thinking of posting what i had changed, but figured anyone who uses it should be able to figure it out^_^

I think it would be better to say, "That error is code-ridden.". :D
