Hi i mtrying to make my guy move really fast but i want it so i can set the speed of how fast hes really going


ive tried thsi but it only goes up to a certain spped

mob
    verb
        start()
            walk(src,src.dir,-1000)



any other ways?

Hmm i did a little something.I used kunark movementdelay.
mob/var
    speed = 0
    delay = 0    //Set this to different settings to control how slow the mob walks.

client/Move()
    if(mob.speed <= 0)
        mob.speed = 1
        ..()
        sleep(mob.delay)
        mob.speed = 0
    else
        return


mob/Login()
    speed = 0
    ..()


Well with that i just added a verb that would increase your game speed.
mob
    verb
        Speed()
            usr.delay = input("How fast would you like to go?.","Tip:The higher the number the slower it goes",usr.delay)

I don't know if that's what you was looking for,nor i know how you Move() goes so i did this.

You might want to change that to something like
mob
    verb
        Speed()
            usr.delay = input("How fast would you like to go? (1 - slowest, 10 - fastest)", "Speed selection", 5) as num
            usr.delay = max(usr.delay, 10)
            usr.delay = 10 - usr.delay
            usr.delay = min(usr.delay, 1)

Basically that just makes it make more sense. 1 is assumed to be a slow number by gamers, and 10 is assumed to be fast, because it's a larger number, and a larger speed in video games is typically a good thing.

In theory, with no lag. You should be able to move 10 sqaures a second.

You are trying to move faster than once per tenth of a second, aren't you? That is impossible to do while still keeping Byond's movement animation/sliding. To move faster, you will have to call Move multiple times per tick or just move the object multiple spaces.
atom/movable/proc/move_multiple_tiles(dir,dist)
    var/turf/T=loc
    var/list/tiles_skipped[0]
    var/dist_moved=0
    var/icon/I=icon(icon,icon_state,dir)
    if(!loc.Exit(src))return 0
    for(var/index = 1 to dist-1)
        T=get_step(T,dir)
        if(T.Enter(src))
            tiles_skipped[T]=T.overlays.len
            dist_moved+=1
        else
            T=tiles_skipped[tiles_skipped.len]
            break
    if(dist_moved=dist-1)
        T=get_step(T,dir)
        if(T.Enter(src))
            dist_moved+=1
        else T=tiles_skipped[tiles_skipped.len]
    tiles_skipped-=T
    spawn(1)
        var/image/overlay
        for(var/turf/skipped in tiles_skipped)
            overlay=skipped.overlays[tiles_skipped[skipped]]
            del(overlay)
    for(var/turf/skipped in tiles_skipped)
        T.overlays+=I
    Move(T)

That should move an object multiple tiles at once, leaving behind images on the tiles skipped that disappear after a tenth of a second.

This will not call Entered for the turf objects skipped open, as that would cause problems for turfs which relocate objects in Entered, especially if they do so with a delay.

The rest of your code (client directional functions and AI) would have to be editted to make use of it as well.

A tick:
This is the smallest unit of time (one server tick) measured in 1/10 seconds. The duration of events that take some finite amount of time (like sleep) will be rounded to a whole number of ticks.

Which means, that your limited to 10 commands a second. Which means you should only be able to move 10 sqaures in 1 second.
