How Do I in Developer Help

How do I make it so that in a verb I'm taking away one of a var
every step I take. Something like repeating the process.

The Code might help so here it is...
mob/var
    speeding = 0
    walkdelay = 2

client/Move()
    if(usr.speeding <= 0)
        usr.speeding = 1
        ..()
        sleep(mob.walkdelay)
        usr.speeding = 0
    else
        return


mob/Login()
    speeding = 0
    ..()


mob
    verb
        Run()
            if(src.run>=1)
                usr.walkdelay =0
                sleep(4)
                run-=1
                ..()
            else
                src<<"Your too tired, rest."
        Stop_Run()
            usr.walkdelay =2
        Rest()
            src.run+=rand(0,2)
            ..()


I forgot what the ..() did so I just stuck it in there, but I remmembered now so I took them out of my accual code.

You have to modify [atom]/Move() than, eg:
mob/Move()
  .=..()
  if(!.)return//forgot if this is suppose to be (.) or (!.) to see if movement failed before
  if(src.running) src.stamina--//-- => -=1

Also how do I make something repeat. Liike resting, src.run+=rand(0,2). Make it so that it goes back to that line if i'm still resting and if I'm not resrint fstop the process.

((Nevermined, fixed it.))

mob
     var/recycle=0 //this is used as a flag
     var/some_other_flag=0
     verb
          Toggle_Some_Other_Flag()
               if(!some_other_flag) some_other_flag=1
               else some_other_flag=0
          Recycle()
               if(!recycle)
                    recycle=1 //turns the recycle flag on...
                    src<<"You start to recycle."
                    while(recycle) //while the flag is on...do these below...
                         src<<"Recycling..."
                         if(some_other_flag) recycle=0 //if some_other_flag is on, then turn off the recycle flag
                         sleep(10) //sleep 1 second before going back to the start of the while loop...
