Mob decision network code (LOVE)

(on the message receive function)
local seed = msg
for i, pairs in mob(ents.mobs) do
   mob:move(seed..mob.id)
end
(in the mob entity)
function self:load(x, y)
    --load shit here
    local moveDirection = 1
    local moveDistance = 0
end
function self:update(dt)
    local x, y = self:getPos()
    if moveDistance > 0 then
        --move in the direction specified
        moveDistance = moveDistance -1
    end
    self:setPos(x, y)
end
function self:move(seed)
    local isDoing = math.random(1, 2, seed)
    if isDoing == 1 then
        moveDirection = math.random(1, 360, seed)
        moveDistance = math.random(1, 100, seed)
    end
end
