when i tryed to put a monster into my game, it created something like a loop? Could someone please help me?
Here's my code:

mob/Monster/Bug
icon = 'monsters.dmi'
icon_state = "bug"
HP = 30
Power = 18
var/expplus = 7
var/mob/player/P
New()
. = ..()
spawn()
Wander()
proc/Wander()
while(src)
var/Found = FALSE
for(P in oview(5,src))
step_towards(src,P)
Found = TRUE
break
if(Found != TRUE)
step_rand(src)
sleep(10)
sleep(5)
Bump(mob/M)
if(istype(M,/mob/player))
Attack(M)
proc/Attack(mob/M)
sleep(2)
var/damage = rand(1,Power)
M.HP -= damage
M.Death()

I don't know where to start.

Airjoe	What's wrong with it? The only thing I see is in the proc/Wander(). Indent everything under while(src) one more time.

Lummox JR	This Wander() proc has been a plague on the forums ever since the piece of crap was written. It's been improved somewhat from its original bugginess, but it still sucks. Don't use it. Lummox JR

Goku72	Speaking of which, did you ever find out who originall made the demo? O.o

Shadowcat519	well since that dosen't work, can someone please give me a code where if you attack them they attack back? Or how to get the monsters to walk around in different patterns?

Rippy	"could someone please give me a code..." Wrong thing to say. You'd be best to ask how it's done, or something of the sort. The words "give me code" aren't going to come in handy all that much.

Shadowcat519	sorry. Can someone show me how it's done?

Rippy	S'okay. I think if you search rpg starter, you'd come up with some demos that would cover that.
