In response to Peteragent5 (#1)
Stay on topic please, I still need help for this code and I don't need icons, I have an Iconer...

your problem is that you are looping through each mob in oview and taking a step twords each valid mob each loop.

What you need to do is add a "target" var to the clone, give the clone a valid target and have the clone chase/atack its target until it is either dead or out of range.

once this happens, find another valid target for the clone.

keep doing that untill the clone is dead or whatever else will stop it from going through its CloneCycle().

I tested it like this, It works but only if I'm next to it...

Thanks, That worked now I only have 1 small problem, Do you know a way to override a sleep in the deathcheck so that it will wait for the monsters to respawn but it doesn't wait to attack other monsters...

mob
    proc
        DeathCheck(mob/killer)
            if(src.Hp <= 0)
                if(src.father=="clone")
                    var/mob/D = src.owner
                    if(src.mother=="[D.key]")
                        D.Clones -= 1
                        D << "[killer] killed your Splitform"
                        del (src)
                if(istype(src,/mob/NPC/))
                    killer << "You cant kill NPC's"
                    return
                if(!src.client)
                    killer << "you killed [src]"
                    killer.Exp += src.ExpGive
                    killer.Gold += src.GoldGive
                    killer.levelcheck()
                    s_damage(killer,src.ExpGive,"green")
                    src.loc=locate(0,0,0)

                    sleep(100)

                    if(src.type == /mob/monsters/Slime/)
                        new /mob/monsters/Slime (locate(xwar,ywar,zwar))
                    del(src)


                if(src.client)
                    src.Hp = src.Hpmax
                    src.loc=locate(25,8,1)
                    killer.Exp += src.Hpmax - src.Def -src.Sp
                    src.save = 1
                    world << "[killer] killed [src]"
                    killer.levelcheck()

Edited:Had a sentance that was strange..

I dont see any problem there as to src not being able to attack during that sleep. As long as its attack instructions arent in DeathCheck below Sleep, it should attack just fine.

Found the problem, Its fixed. Thank you for your help.
