How could i make it so when you walk on a hill you slow down
Then when you walk off of it your speed goes back to what it was. This is what i have
turf
Hills
icon ='Hills.dmi'
Enter()
usr.speed=5
Then i dont know what to put if they leave the hill to make there speed go back to normal

Use initial()... of course, this won't do well if you do any other speed changes. Then you'd have to keep track of his speed when you change it.

I'll assume you're doing no other changes.
turf
   Hill
      icon = 'hill.dmi'
      Entered()
         speed = 5
      Exited()
         speed = initial(speed) //when they leave the hill, set their speed back to normal

Slight problem with your code: You changed the hill's speed, not the user's.
turf
  Hill
  icon = 'hill.dmi'
  Entered(mob/M)
    M.speed = 5
  Exited(mob/M)
    M.speed = initial(M.speed)

Heh. Thanks for pointing that out.

I've been kind of wonky with Enter(ed)() and Bump() and whatnot as of late.

Might want an if(ismob(M)) in there too, otherwise you could get errors if any self-moving objs found their way into the mountains.
