In my game i have a adventure system similar to Monster Rancher's.Now in monster rancher you have a certain amount of Energy and every type you take a step you lose 1 energy.In my game i make the user's movement extremely slow so he doesnt accidently move more then 1 step.The problem im having is that its taking a Energy point away Just for pressing the directional button and since i delayed my movement i can press the button about 10 times before he actually moves How would i get it to minus Only if he actually Moves.This is my code.

mob
Move()
if(istype(src.loc.loc, /area/Adventure))
if(src.client)
usr.movedelay = 10
src.Energy -= 1
if(src.Energy <= 0)
usr.movedelay = 1
usr << "You run out of Energy and finish your adventure"
src.loc = locate(1,1,2)

I think that "get_step" works for something like that, but as I don't know how that works at all I will tell you how I would do it :

mob
    Move()
        var/turf/oldloc = locate(x,y,z)
        if(istype(src.loc.loc, /area/Adventure))
            if(src.client)
                . = ..()
                var/turf/currentloc = locate(x,y,z)
                if(oldloc!=currentloc)
                    src.movedelay = 10
                    src.Energy -= 1
                    if(src.Energy <= 0)
                        src.movedelay = 1
                        usr << "You run out of Energy and finish your adventure"
                        src.loc = locate(1,1,2)

Hmm that doesnt seem to slow his movement or take away his energy

Sorry, I missed out the delay bit, but are you sure it doesn't take away energy? It should do!

It's rather simple to determine whether or not the client has moved. For example:

mob/Move()
var/initial_location=src.loc //saves the client's location.
.=..() //the client tries to move.
if(src.loc!=initial_location) //if the client's new location is not the client's old location...
src<<"Congratulations!" //the Move() was successful.
else
src<<"Sorry! Better luck next time." //the Move() was unsuccessful.

Actually, it's even easier than that. (I'd suggest not using the name "client" for the player, though, because a /client is a specific type. =) )

<code>mob/Move() .=..() if (.) src << "You moved successfully." else src << "Movement was unsuccessful!"</code>

sorry, I'm just used to using client as in "the person using the program"
