Ok so you know the normal byond movement speed?? How do i make my char move faster with a verb...

Create a variable, let's call it delay, which determines the speed in which the mob moves. Also create a variable, let's call it moved, which tells us if the mob has moved.
mob/var
    delay = 10
    moved = 0



In Move() check to see if moved is true, meaning the mob has moved recently. If so, return
if(mob.moved) return


Else, move the mob, set moved to 1, and spawn(delay). But don't forget to set moved back to 0 in the spawn() statement.
..()
mob.moved = 1
spawn(mob.delay)
    mob.moved = 0

Move() is a built-in procedure that /atom/movables have. You can look up the specifics in the reference.

Oh. But where would i put that in the script? In the login part, or...?

I quickly tossed this together:
mob/var
    delay = 10
    moved = 0

client/Move()
    if(mob.moved) return // if you moved, stop execution of this proc

    // else, move
    mob.moved = 1
    ..() // calls src.mob.Move()

    spawn(mob.delay) mob.moved = 0


mob/verb
    set_delay(d as text) // sets the delay
        delay = d


Of course, if you're looking to add delays to non-clients, read into Move proc (movable atom). I also highly recommend looking at the reference.

Much easier than making a movement delay is to utilize pixel movement's step_size variable. When you want to go faster, just increase it. When you want to go slower, decrease it.
Simple.
