Code:
mob
    follow
        wolf
            var/mob/pc/owner
            icon = 'person.dmi'
            icon_state = "pet"
            var/nomove = 0
            New()
                spawn()
                    wander()
            proc/wander()
                if(nomove == 0)
                    while(owner in oview(8,src))
                        step_to(src,owner,1)
                        sleep(5)
                sleep(5)
                if(owner in oview(2,src))
                    src.nomove = 10
                else
                    nomove -= 1
                    if(nomove < 0)
                        nomove = 0
                wander()


Problem description:

I prefer using walk_towards() instead of <code>step_to()</code>. "Why?" you ask? Well, here's a reason:

<code>walk_towards()</code> takes 3 arguements: A mob or object (In your case, the monster), An object on the map (In your case, the monsters target), and Lag (In your case, the nomove delay). If you stick those 3 together, it would look something like this:
mob/monster/slime
  icon='slime.dmi'
  New()
    for(var/mob/M in oview(2))
      walk_towards(src,M,4)
/*
src = the monster
M   = A mob within 2 tiles of the monster
4   = How much time it takes before movement to the next tile in 1/10 second increments.*/
    ..()

That wouldn't work. Well it would but the game wouldn't. Add in ..() under New()

Something wrong with your eyes? He did add ..() under New() =P.

eh ehm...
i need to be able to check if the players hide is = to 0 and i want the delay to only happen when the wolf is close to the player, not all the time.

never mind! I fixed it by making the while(owner in oview(8,src)) if(owner in oview(8,src))
