    NPC

        Brolly

            name = "{NPC} Brolly"
            icon = 'Enemy.dmi'
            density = 1

            Health=25
            Defence=1
            Strength=2

                    Wander()

            proc/Wander()
                while(src)
                    var/Found = FALSE
                    for(var/mob/PC in oview(6)).
                        step_away(src,PC)
                        Found = TRUE
                        break
                    if(Found != TRUE)

step_away(Ref, Trg) moves Ref away from Trg while step_to(Ref, Trg) moves Ref towards Trg.

If you want your NPCs to attack you when they are a certain number of tiles away from you, you can use the get_dist() proc.

Also, your Wander() proc isn't usr safe because oview() has usr set as it's default Center argument.

For more information, read the reference on these procs.

Here is an example too:

mob/NPC

   icon = 'npc.dmi'
   var/mob/target             // A variable that is expected to hold a reference to a mob anytime in future.

   New()
      ..()
      spawn() AI_Start()

   proc/AI_Start()
       while(src)
          if(!target) Find_Target()
          else
              if(get_dist(src, target))
                  src.Attack(target)
              else step_to(src, target)
          sleep(15)

   proc/Find_Target()
       for(var/mob/M in oview(6, src))       // We are now usr safe.
           if(!src.target) src.target = M    // Our NPC's target variable now holds a reference to a mob.
           else return
