I dont exactly know how this proc can work I know that the arguments want OBJ,TARG,LAG but I dont know how to tell the compiler that I want the player to be the targ.

mob
Warrior
icon = 'person.dmi'
icon_state = "darian"
density = 1
walk_towards()

Ok, first. The way you have it layed out will simply override the walk_towards proc for mob/Warrior. What you want to do is have it so that it looks something like this. 
mob
    Warrior
        var/mob/target          //Create a variable that it will use to tell who to go towards.
        //All the normal stuff.
        icon = 'person.dmi'
        icon_state = "darian"
        density = 1
        //Now we override the New() proc for /mob/Warrior.
        New()
            ..()                //Do what New() normally does.
            spawn(30)         //3 Seconds after a new mob/warrior is made, make it call its WarriorAI() proc.
                WarriorAI()
        proc
            WarriorAI()         //Create the WarriorAI() Proc.
                for(var/mob/M in oview(7))   //Do the following for every mob in oview(7)
                    if(M.client != null)    //If the mobs client variable isnt null (If its a player)
                        src.target = M      //Make M (The Player) the Warrior's Target.
                step_towards(src, src.target)   //Take a step towards the target.
                spawn(20)     //Start the cycle again.
                    WarriorAI()


Thats very simple, and not that efficient. You should research for(), New(), spawn(), step_towards() and client.
