Problem description:
This is probably a dumb question from someone who has been using DM for as long as me, but how do I reduce the movement speed? My mobs LITERALLY glide across 12 tiles in one second.

The easiest way to do this would be to delay movement on the client.

mob
    var
        last_move = 0
        move_delay = 1
    Move(newloc,dir,step_x,step_y)
        if(!last_move||world.time>=last_move+move_delay)
            . = ..(newloc,dir,step_x,step_y)
            last_move = world.time
        else
            return 0


This isn't ideal, as I prefer a bit more of a complex movement speed determination, but it will at least give you a start.

Most helpful. Thank you.

Yours also worked, but the movement was slightly unstable when applying your code. Thanks, anyway.
