Code:
mob
    var/movement=1
    Move()
        if(!movement)return
        ..()

mob
    Move()
        if(frozen==1) 
            overlays+='paralyzed.dmi'
            movement=0
            sleep(40)
            overlays-='paralyzed.dmi'
            movement=1
            frozen=0

proc/deathcheck(mob/M as mob)//handles death
    if(M.Health<=0)//checks health
        if(M.client)//if is a player
            M.frozen=0
            M.snare=0
            M.overlays-='paralyzed.dmi'
            M.overlays-='snare.dmi'
            M.movement=1
                        //rest of my death stuff


Problem description:
Problem is when you die while paralyzed, sometimes you come back due to some random glitch. And when you dont die you still glitch around the screen, like a laggy movement. Anyoen know whats wrong?? I tried to reset eveything in death but that didn't seem to help much.

You could add something so if they die while paralized they don't come back, or die, whatever it is you're meaning for it to do.
if(!movement)
//Then whatever you want to happen to them here.

you have 2 Move()s, the second one doesn't return to ..(), and your deathcheck is backwards.

mob
    var/movement=1
    Move()
        if(src.frozen) // Boolean var! use if(var) or if(!var)
            src.overlays+='paralyzed.dmi'
            src.movement=0
            sleep(40)
            src.overlays-='paralyzed.dmi'
            src.movement=1
            src.frozen=0
         else if(!src.movement)return
         else ..()

mob/proc/deathcheck(mob/killer)//handles death
    if(src.Health<=0)//checks health
        if(src.client)//if is a player
            src.frozen=0
            src.snare=0
            src.overlays-='paralyzed.dmi'
            src.overlays-='snare.dmi'
            src.movement=1

You can't do that for a global proc because 'src' is null. Set deathcheck()'s type to /mob, or make it have 2 arguements.

Well giving it 2 arguments is boneheaded unless you're adding something like a weapon. You should never pass the victim as an argument to deathcheck(), because that should be src; the proc has to be changed from global to a mob proc for sure.
