Ever wanted NPCs to wander around like zombies? Well, that can't really happen in this library, they don't chase you! But, they do wander, and it quite gives them more of a human-like way of thinking. Ha! Enjoy.

What you did was define an already built in proc, when you could have made it alot shorter, and more helpful to new programmers.
/* Format: walk_rand(Ref,Lag=0,Speed=0) Args: Ref: A mob or obj. Lag: Delay in world ticks between movement. Speed: Speed to move, in pixels. 0 uses Ref.step_size. */
If you are interested in knowing how it works.
Cheers.
