I don't see anything directly wrong with the code...so what I would do is put in some debugging statements to see what's happening, like this:

      & amp;nbsp; New()
      & amp;nbsp;     & amp;nbsp;   ..()
      & amp;nbsp;     & amp;nbsp;   spawn(rand(1,think_de lay)) AILoop()
      proc/ AILoop()
&;nbsp;     var/ mob/M
      & amp;nbsp;     & amp;nbsp;   for(M in view(src)) break
      & amp;nbsp;     & amp;nbsp;   if(!M)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;& amp;nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;& amp;nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;& amp;nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;w orld << "Didn't see anything." // DEBUG

This kind of debugging is a major way to deal with code that isn't working. You'll find yourself doing it a lot.

i found the problem. It was trying to attack other wolves,so i changed this part

proc/AILoop()
var/mob/M
for(M in view(src)) break

proc/AILoop()
var/mob/player/M
for(M in view(src)) break

and made this the default mob

world
mob = /mob/player

yet it still does't see the mob/player when it comes into view

I'd need to see the game to debug it. If you want to zip it up and send it to me at [email protected], I'll take a look.
