(See the best response by Edit Nero.)
Code:
        A()  //Strike One LEFT HANDED
            set hidden = 1
            //spawn() Stun(20) //was overwritten temporarily to test my Stun proc, might need to use it in the future --Dipic
            //return
            if(src.Attacking||src.act_disabled||usr.ko)
                return
            if(src.OnCD)
                return
            if(usr.nonpk)
                usr.report("You're unable to attack in a Non-PK Zone!")
                return
            src.Attacking=1
            if(src.target)
                src.dir=get_dir(src,src.target)         //If the user hasn't used a combo skill
            if(!src.Wielding)
                flick("lightpunchL",src)

            else
                if(src.EquipType=="Lightsword")
                    var/state=pick("lcombo1","lcombo2")
                    flick("[state]",src)
            src.Attacking=0
            src.CombatStateProc()
            src.OnCD=1
            var/cd=src.BaseAttackCD-(src.Agility/20)
            if(cd<=2.5)
                cd=2.5
            spawn(cd)
                src.OnCD=0
            var/cd2=cd/10
            usr.report("You are now on cooldown for [cd2] seconds")
            src.PreviousKey=addtext(src.PreviousKey,"A")
            usr.<<"[src.PreviousKey]"
            src.ComboCheck()


Problem description:
I use Pixel Movement so I was wondering is there a better substitution for get_step since there is a bound box and I use Pixel Movement.

I use:

get_bounds(mob/M, boundz_x = 0, boundz_y = 0)
        if(M.dir == EAST) boundz_x = M.bound_width
        else if(M.dir == WEST) boundz_x = -M.bound_width
        else if(M.dir == NORTH) boundz_y = M.bound_height
        else if(M.dir == SOUTH) boundz_y = -M.bound_height
        return obounds(M, boundz_x, boundz_y)


but theres a better way I'm certain, I think Kaiochao had a better function.
