Code:
 
obj
    zombie
        icon = 'beings.dmi'
        icon_state = "zombie"
        var/target = ""
        New()
            world << "a"
            ..()
            world << "b"
            zombie
            world << ":::[target]"
            if(target == "")
                world << "getting target"
                for(var/mob/a in view())
                    if(!(a.ckey == ""))
                        target = a
                        goto zombie
            else
                var/mob/a = target
                world << "c"
                if(a.y < src.y)
                    step(src,SOUTH)
                    world << "c"
                    goto zombie
                if(a.y > src.y)
                    step(src,NORTH)
                    world << "a"
                    goto zombie
                if(a.x < src.x)
                    step(src,WEST)
                    world << "d"
                    goto zombie
                if(a.x > src.x)
                    step(src,EAST)
                    world << "b"
                    goto zombie</b>


Problem description:i doubt it was that easy but this is my first ai i made it so it had a "test" it should say
a b ::: :::[mob here] c and then a,b,c or d a being north b east c south and d west but it says everything but the direction can someone please help me?

stages:
a starting targeting
b making sure ..() didnt effect something
:::[target] the target it foundshould be empty first cause it dosnt have a target
c if found a target so it goes to getting the dirrection
a,b,c,d it found a direction and started moving to it(dosnt work :/)

You are making this a lot more difficult than it needs to be.

obj
    zombie
        // your other stuff here
        var/mob/target

        New()
            ..()
            spawn()ai() // when we are created, out mind is aswell!

        proc/ai()
            spawn()while(1) // start a loop, use spawn so it doesn't hold up the game

                if(target && target in oview(src)) // if a target exists and is in your view

                    if(get_dist(src, target) > 1) // if the distance between you and the target is greater than 1
                        step_to(src, target) // step to the damn target cause you're mighty hungry
                    else
                        world << "nom nom nom" // the target is right in front of you, ATTACK!


                else // if there is no target, or the previous target is simply too far

                    // best get a target, i reckon
                    for(var/client/c) // if the zombie's targets can be non-clients, do for(var/mob/m in oview(src)) instead
                        if(c.mob in oview(src)) // if the client's mob is within the zombie's view
                            target = c.mob
                            break // we have found our victim, no sense in looking for more

                    if(!target) // if no target found
                        step_rand(src) // step randomly!

                sleep(10) // add a delay, which can be less than 10, to prevent inf loop
                // you could probably add delays after the actions instead of just at the end
                // therefore, if no target is found, the delay can be longer than when a target is in sight!

note: The conditional if(a && a in List) will not evaluate as expected. Instead, you should put the a in List in parentheses.

note 2: spawn() with no given argument can be written without the parentheses.
