Code:
mob
    proc
        gravity()
            for()
                if(!jump)
                    fall = 1
                    var/atom/x = get_step(src,SOUTH)
                
                    if(x.density)
                        fall = 0
                        walk(src,0)
                if(fall)
                    y-=1


                sleep(1)

    var/jump
    var/fall

How do I make a fall proc that doesn't change the mobs dir.
Seems like move,step,y-1 all change their dir to SOUTH

Basically, you can store the direction before the move and reset the direction to it after.

Or, you can use Move() like this:
Move(get_step(src, SOUTH), dir)

Passing 'dir' to Move() sets your dir to that, regardless of where you've moved to.

Also, walk(src, 0) only stops previous calls to walk() or walk_to/towards(). It doesn't stop anything else.
