Moving obj in all directions

Ok i started off With a code that created obj arond the user and shot off the obj in each direction as a proc.

The code failed and it only shot 3 off in the fron and 1 on every other side. and it left 2 sitting next to him.

So what im asking is how would I make a code that does the same thing ,but in the best way possible.
And if you dont minde if you write a code could you put 
//text explaining what each part does so I can also learn from what you have coded

Thank you if you help.

Here is the previous code I used.
mob
    proc
        push()
            prejutsu()
            if(cdelay2||swim||paralysed||dead||addled||buttonjam||resting||caught||seals||moving||dous||busy)return
            if(!rinnegan)
                src<<output("You must have Rinnegan activated.")
                return
            handseals(60,90)
            if(!sealpass)return
            cdelay2=1
            for(var/obj/jutsu/pein/Push/M in src)M.overlays+='timer.dmi'
            view(8)<<output("<font color=purple><b>[usr]: Push!","infobox")
            var/K=new/obj/pushblast(loc)
            K:dir=dir

I suggest you erase the Dragonball Z source code, that is badly done by the way, and start fresh. I didn't do this the most efficient way, but it is proper syntax-wise, which is much better than the system you're using.

obj
    wave
        icon = 'wave.dmi' //all objects below will use this file
        density = 1 //make it dense for collisions
        north
            icon_state = "north"
        south
            icon_state = "south"
        east
            icon_state = "east"
        west
            icon_state = "west"
        north_east
            icon_state = "north_east"
        south_east
            icon_state = "south_east"
        north_west
            icon_state = "north_west"
        south_west
            icon_state = "south_west"
        Bump()
            flick("hit_state",src) //flick a hitting state
            sleep(1)
            loc = null //delete it

mob/verb/Ki_Attack()
    var/obj/wave/north/N = new
    var/obj/wave/south/S = new
    var/obj/wave/east/E = new
    var/obj/wave/west/W = new
    var/obj/wave/north_east/NE = new
    var/obj/wave/south_east/SE = new
    var/obj/wave/north_west/NW = new
    var/obj/wave/south_west/SW = new

    N.loc = locate(x,y+1,z)
    S.loc = locate(x,y-1,z)
    E.loc = locate(x+1,y,z)
    W.loc = locate(x-1,y,z)
    NE.loc = locate(x+1,y+1,z)
    NW.loc = locate(x-1,y+1,z)
    SE.loc = locate(x+1,y-1,z)
    SW.loc = locate(x-1,y-1,z)

    walk(N,NORTH,1)
    walk(S,SOUTH,1)
    walk(E,EAST,1)
    walk(W,WEST,1)
    walk(NE,NORTHEAST,1)
    walk(NW,NORTHWEST,1)
    walk(SE,SOUTHEAST,1)
    walk(SW,SOUTHWEST,1)


There are articles that can help you learn how to program, piece by piece, in an entertaining form:

Not a DBZ source. xD lolz wish it was cause that would give me new skills to use.

But that code was achually written by me. I learned from a souce I had but yea it was written by me.

Thx for the tip on learning

Loops are good.
obj
    wave
        icon = 'wave.dmi'
        density = 1
        Bump()
            flick("hit_state",src)
            sleep(1)
            loc = null

mob/verb/Ki_Attack()
    for(var/i = 0, i <= 7; i++)
        var/direction = turn(NORTH, 45 * i)
        var/stepLocation = get_step(src, direction)
        if(stepLocation)
            var/obj/wave/theWave = new(stepLocation)
            walk(theWave, direction, 1)


Pretty sure this will still let ki blasts stick to the edge of the map. Still room for refinement XD.

well i use the second explain because it short but i understood the first one better but how would i make it so that i could shot out 3 blast one the dir of the usr = north lets say then one NW and one NE well here how i edited

obj
    Phoenix_Fireball_Jutsu
        icon = 'Phoenix Fireball Jutsu.dmi'
        density = 1
        Bump()
            flick("hit_state",src)
            loc = null

mob
    verb
        Phoenix_Fireball_Jutsu()
            for(var/i = 0, i <= 3; i++)
                var/direction = turn(usr.dir, 45 * i)
                var/stepLocation = get_step(src, direction)
                if(stepLocation)
                    var/obj/Phoenix_Fireball_Jutsu/PhoenixFireballJutsu = new(stepLocation)
                    walk(PhoenixFireballJutsu, direction, 1)
