You shouldnt be making a game if you cannot make a variable and check it.
mob/var/moveable = 1
mob
  Move()
    if(src.moveable == 0)//If moveable is 0 they cannot move
      return
    else
      ..()

Maybe you shouldn't be helping if you misuse ==0 & ==1.

And how did I misuse it? If moveable is 0 you cannot move..If it is 1 you can move.

Thats why I'm learning.

It still isn't working, I must have something out of place.


verb
Rest()
if(usr.stm < usr.mstm)
usr<<"<font color = green>You begin resting.</font>"
usr.rst = 1
src.Move(null)
sleep(100)
usr.stm = usr.mstm
src.Move(1)
usr<<"<font color = green>You are done resting.</font>"

mob
var
moveable = 1


mob
Move()
if(src.moveable == 0)//If moveable is 0 they cannot move
return
else
..()

You must set moveable to 0 for them not to be able to move. Let me guess, this is a DBZ game? You can also do if(!moveable) that means if it is 0 or equals nothing. Its shorter and easy to remember.

Please excuse my previous post,It's 3 AM. What i meant to say was it's a lot cleaner to be using the ! operator(s) here rather than the == operator. I'm not thinking straight tonight.

And why did you post it twice in the same topic? I already replied to your original.

No, it's even worse. If you don't teach things like that to newbies, how will they learn them? It's also best to get them in good habits to start with, so they don't have to unlearn what you told them later.
