        mob.speeding = 1
        ..()
        sleep(mob.rundelay)
        mob.speeding = 0
    else
        return

zombies are supposed to be slow, this makes them too fast, i need help.

Fixes are in quote. You were calling the sleep() too early.

Don't rely on someone else's work to work for you. Read the DM Guide.
A zombie NPC which moves around a bit should be easy to make if you actually read it.

Read it now, or spend five years in ignorance.

Don't read it, it wont help you at all its just a bunch of words, the only way you learn is by experience. also id say tweek the rundelay a bit.

And don't forget, not everyone knows what you know... for example, he may ask you how to modify rundelay... it is a self created variable in which you have to modify Move(), c'est non?

Don't believe Miran, he's an idiot. The DM guide will help you, it helped me alot. I learned list's, bitflags, operators and alot more stuff from it.

That means you barely, if at all read it... according to your statement.

Now did you really mean:
1) You didn't learn anything from it
a) You did READ through the whole thing, one word at a time
b) You SKIMMED through the whole thing
c) You glanced through the whole thing
d) You looked at it and decided it wasn't worth your time
or
2) You did not learn anything useful from it to your current situation

Wording matters ;)

But for your answer, if you did not actually looked at your code snippet, note this line 
sleep(mob.rundelay)
Translation: Increased amount = Slower speed

Of course, if you did read through the guide or at least the reference, you would know that client/Move() when a player presses a key, not when a mob walks (that'd be mob/Move()).. this is the reason I don't believe point 1a from you because in the DM guide, it stated: "By default, the (client) directional procs call the client's Move proc, which in turn calls the mob's own Move proc. It is simply there to redefine if you want."
