That's not too hard, just use something like Deadron's Lifecycle code.

When a new mob is created, run a new proc off New() called LifeCycle().

In LifeCycle, run a for loop or at least this is what I would do that continually runs everything in the mob's lifecycle program. For loops seem so much simpler than calling procs over and over.

LifeCycle()
for()
for(mob/M in range(1))
//attack stuff if you want it
break
step_rand(src)
sleep(length_of_sleep_var)

Ok then:

mob/Login()
    for(var/mob/NPC/N in world)
        walk_rand(N)

He gave you exactly what you needed, he even hinted at a library which does what you want. Some people are just ungreatful

What do you think a library is?

mob/NPC
  New()
    walk_rand(src)


is an improvement.

Not sure why I'm posting this since Bardock is rude enough that he shouldn't be given help here. But since he is probably already using your code and is happy, why not?

There is reason. LoW has always been correcting people's spelling, even though he constantly has errors.

Plus, he nags Alathon for it, even though it's not Alathon's first language.
