Well why doesn't

var/mob/M in oview(1)

Work?

Cause its jsut defining a mob thats the oview(1), its not actually calling to them. for(var/mob/M in oview(1)), actually does this to every mob within 1 tile. You may want to try get_step() though.

Because that evaluates to "null in oview(1)", which will always be FALSE, and so is a thoroughly meaningless statement.

If you want to locate something, then you need to use locate():

var/mob/M = locate() in oview(1,src)
