Seems like you haven't been defining many of your variables, and you seem to have a weak grasp on how BYOND even works.

I would recommend reading some of the tutorials that are provided in the Tutorial section of the website before you attempt writing a game on your own. :)

There is a lot wrong here. Try adding just a little bit of code at a time, and see what works. Here's what I noticed off the bat. There's probably more, but it's a tangle.

mob
monsters <font color=yellow>- unindent one space</font>
var
think_dalay = 10 <font color=yellow>- spelled "delay," while I'm here...</font>
New()
..() <font color=yellow>- unindent one space</font>
spawn(rand(1,think_delay))AILoop()
proc/AILoop()
var/action_taken
for(mob/M in oview(src)) <font color=yellow>should be for(var/mob/M in oview(src))</font>
if(istype(M,/mob/monsters))
continue //it doesn't attack monsters
step_toward(src,M) <font color=yellow>Not sure if this will execute. Why is it indented? Also, it's "step_towards"</font>
action_taken = 1 <font color=yellow>unindent several spaces</font>
for(mob/monsters/M in oview(1,src)) <font color=yellow>unindent one space</font>
if(istype(M,/mob/monsters))
continue
Attack(M) <font color=yellow>unindent</font>
action_taken = 1 <font color=yellow>unindent</font>
if(action_taken)
spawn(think_delay)
AILoop() <font color=yellow>indent one space</font>
return
..()

You may need to work on something a little simpler, until you get a better grasp of the language.

what's with all the "> >"s?? It looks like you are cramming several lines together in a couple of places. What are you trying to do?
