client/Move()
    mob.Run()
    ..()

mob/proc/Run()
    var/time = world.realtime
    if(lastmove>time*10)
        icon_state="run"
        move_delay=3
    lastmove += time
    spawn(14)
        lastmove-=time
        if(lastmove<time*8)
            icon_state=""
            move_delay=7


The game sort of freezes for like a split second when I change direction, so there has to be a better way.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Toggle between walking and running if you hold down a direction key for a while.

And if you let go of the key it toggles back to walking.

//you will need to really adapt this to get what you want

#define RUNNING 1

mob/var/speed

mob/verb/Locomotion()
       spawn(whatever you want)
             if(key_down) speed = RUNNING
       while(key_down)
             Move(whatever)

mob/proc/key_down()
       key_down = 1
       Locomotion()

mob/proc/key_up() key_down = null


Then you set your macros to key up and key down. I recommend using Kakashi24142's key handling library to prevent certain key lifts from not registering.
