so lets just say that your figure is walking through water and you want his to go slow, How?
Feb 17 2011, 4:55 pm
 
mob/var/inwater = 0
mob/var/canwalk = 1
client/Move()
  if(mob.inwater && canwalk)
    ..()
  canwalk = 0
  spawn(4)
    canwalk = 1


obviously thats not a fully working code and you should re do it for your needs but thats a general idea for you.

Rather than a variable, just see src.mob.loc is of a water type turf.
client
  var
    move_delay = 2 //normally
    next_move = 0
  Move()
    if(src.next_move < world.time)
      . = ..()
      if(.) //if movement was successful
        if(istype(src.mob.loc,/turf/water))
          src.next_move = world.time+src.move_delay+2 //add more move_delay
        else
          src.next_move = world.time+src.move_delay

Even simpler way of doing it is to just have water hold its own variable. This will also let you add more movement impairing terrain later, if you choose to do so:
mob
   var
      delay = 4
      canmove = 0
   Move()
      if(src.canmove>world.timeofday)
         return 0
      .=..()
      if(.)
         src.canmove = world.timeofday + src.delay

impairing_turf
   parent_type = /turf
   var/slowdown = 0
   Entered(mob/M)
      M.delay += src.slowdown
   Exited(mob/M)
      M.delay -= src.slowdown
   water
      var
         slowdown = 2

I kind of built this off the top of my head, so please tell me if this doesn't work.
