Code:
proc/grp_walk(list/Mobs,turf/Trg)
    var/Size = Mobs.len
    var/DivideNum = 2
    for(var/i=2 to 100)
        if(isloc(locate(Trg.x+round(Size/i,1),round(Trg.y+Size/i,1))))
            DivideNum = i;break
    var/list/New_Locs = block(locate(Trg.x,Trg.y,Trg.z),locate(Trg.x+round(Size/DivideNum,1),round(Trg.y+Size/DivideNum,1),Trg.z))
    for(var/i=1 to Size)
        walk_to(Mobs[i],New_Locs[i])


Problem description:

Well I am making a proc that makes a group of mobs move to a turf's location. But I'm having trouble making them all find good locations on the map. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey,

I'm not sure what you mean by good location on map. But if your talking about a random location where there is not another dense obj or mob, try this:
proc/grp_walk(list/Mobs)
    for(var/mob/M in Mobs)
        var/goodspot=1
        var/turf/T
        START
        T=locate(rand(minX,maxX),rand(minY,maxY),rand(minZ,maxZ))
        for(var/atom/A in view("1x1",T))
            if(A.density==1)
                goodspot=0
                break
        if(goodspot)
            M.loc=locate(T.x,T.y,T.z)
        else
            goodspot=1
            goto START

Depending on the size of your maps you can set min/max X,Y,Z variables accordingly.
