Is there away to set a macro for moving forward and back no madder any direction?(like if your facing left and you press A you go forward and if you press D you go backwards)
If so how?

The arrows on the keyboard do it. Also if you take off numlock you can use the right number pad for all 8 directions. That's pretty close...

He means like a drive mode, where forward moves you in your direction, backwards moves you in the opposite direction, etc.

client
North()
step( mob,mob.dir )
South()
vat/turf/T = get_step( mob, turn( mob.dir, 180 ) )
mob.Move(T,mob.dir)

why wont this work:

client
North()
step(mob,mob.dir)
South()
var/turf/T = get_step(mob,turn(mob.dir, 180))
mob.Move(T,mob.dir)
East()
mob.dir = turn(mob.dir,-45)
West()
mob.dir = turn(mob.dir,45)

mob.dir = turn(mob.dir,45)

I compiled that and it compiled fine.

why does that code mess up slowing down the main mobs movement? for some reason this doesnt work now:
mob/Login()
..()
speeding = 0

mob/var
speeding = 0
rundelay = 4
normalrundelay = 3
client/Move()
if(mob.speeding <= 0)
mob.speeding = 1
..()
sleep(mob.rundelay)
mob.speeding = 0
else
return
