I have a car game I'm making but I have no clue how to make the cars go faster than some of the other ones?

You cant make stuff go faster, but you can make other stuff go slower, but i dont knoe exactly how to. Some one has a library, its a very good one too ^_^

make some cars sleep long than others with the sleep() proc

example mob

mob
var/speed
car1
icon = 'car1.dmi'
speed = 5
car2
icon = 'car1.dmi'
speed = 10
Move()
sleep(speed)

i think that's how. the car1 is faster than car2

Sorry, that's totally wrong. And I'm really too lazy to tell this person what to do when a simple search will answer his question for him.

You can make things move faster by moving them more than one tile per tick. In my Racing Game once you pass a certain speed this starts happining.

To make things go slower you could either use a movement delay or handle partial tile movement which I demonstrate in one of my demos.

Most of that needs correct indentation.

It means, the indentation is messed up and needs to be fixed.

If I wasn't in a helpful mood, I would now completely ignore you because of that disgustingly rude bump. We are not your servants, and we do not refresh the page every five seconds just to see if you've posted again. Get used to it.

mob
var/speed
Ferrari
icon = 'car.dmi'
iconstate = "ferrari"
speed = 10

Porche_911_Turbo
icon = 'car.dmi'
iconstate = "911turbo"
speed = 5

That's a start. I've got rid of the Move()/sleep() bit because that's not how you do movement delays. Whoever told you that didn't have a clue what they were on about. See my other post on your duplicate thread (cross-posting is also frowned upon in this forum).
