Mob Moving

I'm here again with another problem.I've made a new mob called a weakling, whose job is to move west untill he runs into something dense or will fall in a hole.Then he is to turn around and do the same thing to the east.Yet when I tried to put it together I had problems. This is the code for the weakling to move...

mob
    proc
        BadGuyMove()
            var/turf/lefturf = locate(src.x-1, src.y, src.z)
            var/turf/righturf = locate(src.x+1, src.y, src.z)
            var/turf/brighturf = locate(src.x+1, src.y-1, src.z)
            var/turf/blefturf = locate(src.x-1, src.y-1, src.z)
            while (src)
                sleep(17)
                if (lefturf.density==1)
                    if (righturf.density==1)
                        return
                    if (righturf.density==0)
                        if (brighturf.density==0)
                            return
                        if (brighturf.density==1)
                            step(src, EAST)
                            return
                if (lefturf.density==0)
                    if (blefturf.density==0)
                        return
                    if (blefturf.density==1)
                        step(src, WEST)
                        return


and if this helps the code for the weakling

mob/enemys
    weakling
        icon='Mob.dmi'
        icon_state="weakling"
        New()
            spawn()BadGuyMove()


Thanks if you can figure out the problem.

I'm not sure what the point of all that proc is, but heres what I would do. for a new weakling, have it start walking like this

new()
walk(src,,3)

then set up the Bump() proc like this

Bump()
if(src.dir==EAST)
walk(src,WEST,3)
if(src.dir==WEST)
walk(src,WEST,3)
else
walk(src,WEST,3)//If its not facing east or west, then make it walk west, if it hits something the bump will call and it should start walkin east. You could do this either way.

Maybe I should have told you this but this is a side scrolling game.The code you gave me doesn't do anything differnt by the way

Hmm. Did you try it?

Btw....What is the problem you had? You never said. I just showed a simpler way to do what you needed(with changes added so it fits your needs.)

It's 3:16 here so I didn't get much time to look it over, but it looks like you had it so he will move once and not move again. Never put return statemets in a while statement like that. return like that is just used to end the current procedure completely and return to whatever called it, to return null. Just have it so if he sees he can walk that direction, he walks, but don't put any coding in for if he sees that he cannot walk that direction (unless you want him to walk the other, of coarse.) delete all your returns in there and that should do the trick.
