Hah. Just been going through a similar kind of strife. :O

In order to make the mob avoid obstacles before reaching the target, see the [resolved] post (original post: "Attacking...")

but here's some code for attacking in a straight line:
mob/Monster
//********************************MONSTER NEW**************************************************************
    New()   //when new mob is created, make it call the wander() proc
        .=..()
        spawn(25)
            Wander()

//********************************MONSTER BUMP**************************************************************
    Bump(mob/M)  //Override this to tell what it does
        if(istype(M,/mob/player))       //if is a mob/player (so if it bumps into something else it wont attak it)
            MonsterAttack(M)          //Attack it with a proc that is defined below.

//********************************MONSTER MOVEMENT**********************************************************
mob/proc
    Wander()
        for(var/mob/M in orange(10,src))  
            if(M.client)    //if human player in range of 10 is there
                if(get_dist(src,M) <= 5) //and its closer than 5 tiles
                    walk_towards(src,M,src.movespeed-2)      //run up (walk_towards calls the bump proc(walk_to does not))
                else
                    walk_rand(src,70) //if its more than 5 tiles, wander (if no one can see the mob, it won't move)
        spawn(9)Wander() //repeat the process

//********************************MONSTER ATTACK**************************************************************
    MonsterAttack(mob/M)
    //put your own attack process here (could just use an attack verb and convert it to proc format)
