Idk if i'm correct, but u can probably make a new list that has all the players in it and assign them a number, then randomly select one from the list using the pick proc Im guessing. I doubt I'm right but it could possibly work?

I'm not on either, but read the DM guide and use the DM reference(f1) while you're in the dream maker.

There are many ways to do this. You have to be more specific.

That code there loops through every human-controlled player online.

I'm not a mind reader. I don't know why you want this, what you are applying it to, or what you are searching for. I don't know how you want someone to be picked. At random? Based on stats? What? All I have to go on is your one-sentence descriptions of what you want.

var list/l = list()//Populate this list with mobs to pick from

for(var/mob/m)
{
    if(m.client)
    {
        l+=m; //Add all human-controlled mobs to l
    }
}

var mob/M = pick(l); //Now pick a mob randomly from l
//Your mob is picked.  Do all other stuff.

Just a word of advice: you generally do not want to loop through every mob in the game if you're trying to locate players. Instead, you want to loop through clients:

var/list/possible = list()

for(var/client/C in world)
     if(C.mob)
          possible += C.mob

// do selection code



This saves you a lot of CPU power if you have a lot of /mobs in the game.
