How can you make a mob move in one direction and have it keep going in that direction until you chage directions?

It's just a matter of using the walk() proc. Check it out in the reference. :)

mob/Move()
  ..()
  walk(src,0)
  walk(src,src.dir,2)

Often when you need continuous movement, you want to create an event loop, where each tick you figure out what to do next.

There's a tutorial and a library showing how you can do this at:

Wouldn't that create an infinite loop? =)
