My code is :

    proc
        Kill(mob/M in oview(1))
            if(istype(M,/mob/monsters))
                view(6) << "[src] slices [M] with his sword!"
                del(M)
                Kill()
            else
                ..()
                Kill()
    New()
        Kill()


And for some reason it doesnt kill the monster in oview 1...Thanks in advance for helping!

Sorry if this bumps but i get the runtime errors:

runtime error: Maximum recursion level reached (perhaps there is an infinite loop)
To avoid this safety check, set world.loop_checks=0.

New Guard created, looking for mobs in oview(usr,1).
None found. Calling Kill() again, waiting for return value.

Maximum recursion level reached (ie, too many procs are waiting for another proc to stop).

You need to spawn() in new procs, so that the original proc acn return.

spawn()
   Kill()?


If so the guard still wont kill my monsters if they walk by...

That's because you're calling Kill(), but Kill() takes an argument, which is a mob in oview(usr,1). Instead:
mob/Guard/proc/Kill()
  var/mob/M = locate() in oview(src,1)
  if(M)
    world << "M spontaniously combusts"
  spawn(4) Kill()

mob/Guard/New()
  spawn() Kill()
  ..()

Well what do you expect when you're repeating something precisely as fast as your computer can handle?
