Alright, so ive been screwing around with this for about 2-3 weeks now, and im unable to figure out how to do this, maybe its the lack of time ive had to work, im unsure. Anyway, how would you allow a mob with a Higher Speed stat, to move faster than one with a lower speed stat? And make it rather different, as if a mob with 1 speed attacking/moving, and a mob with 10 speed attacking/moving had significantly different timing.

I try to use speed as a modifier when I apply it. A speed of 10 results in a multiplier of 1 (10/X). Soooooo, you could try something like this.

mob
  Move()
    sleep(10/src.Speed)
    ..()

The main issue that I've come across is that it seems hella hard to balance (and possibly not fun for people at low levels having a long delay). But hey, if you figure it out, send me a page man.

You can play with the numbers a bit to figure out what you want, but that's the general idea.

Hmm, i was trying * + - and all, never thought of using /... and players wont have these delays, only mobs will.

Players are mobs?

Lugia319	You can add more clauses but yeah, hope it works for you.

Mobs as in enemies/AIs, honestly that should have been obvious.

Kaamos	"Mobs as in enemies/AIs, honestly that should have been obvious." Erm, a Mobile Object. AKA, any object designed to move freely. Includes players, AI, trains, cars, or bouncy balls. Don't try being condesending when they made a valid point.

Lugia319	The message LJ was sending was understood. There was no real need to point out that mobs means any "mobile"

SerenityGames	mob/Move() if(usr.speed<=20) usr.step_size=8 if(usr.speed>=20 && usr.speed<=50) usr.step_size=16 ..() I done mine like that and I had my fps=30 for a Naruto game, it seems to be effective.

Robertbanks2	Why are you doing this every time they move? Why not do it on login and when their speed changes?
