Problem description: In mny game i have it so the monsters wander around. Can anyone fix this code so they don't move unless you attack them?

You have Wander called when the monster is created. Instead, call it during the attack proc.

heres what he going on about in basic form

- Player attacks
-- Monser proc Wander is called from the attack (verb or proc what ever you use)

thats it, not hard to work out what he said

Make sure it's only called once, or the procedure will be started every time the monster is attacked. That means, once attacked twice, it will be jumping arround twice as fast as normal. When attacked ten times, you'll never catch it.
