Strafe Script Snippet

Author: Xzygon
Release Date: 12/20/10




Introduction
Hey, I'm Xzygon, and this is my first released Script Snippet. Basically, what this does, is, while you're holding down a certain
key, you "strafe", or move without changing directions. It was made mainly for ABS systems, so you could move back and forth around
a certain monster or run away while attacking.


Features
-Strafe.

# [VX] Strafing Script Snippet
# Plug & Play

# and for his weapon strafing which will eventually be released.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Basically, what this snippet does, is if you hold down a specific button,
# You can "strafe", or move without changing directions.
# Used best with ABS systems and ranged skills or weapons.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is practically my first snippet, so sorry if it's not compatible
# with other scripts. (It should be compatible with most)
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you're going to use this, credit is not necessary, but it'd be nice.
# And yes, I know this section is longer than the actual snippet, but it's
# not actually used in gameplay, so it's fine.
#===============================================================================


Strafe_Key = Input::Z #Change this to whatever button you want to strafe.


class Game_Player < Game_Character
  
  alias xzy_move move_by_input
  def move_by_input
      if @actor != nil and (Input.press?(Strafe_Key))
      @old_dir_fix = @direction_fix if @old_dir_fix == nil
      @direction_fix = true
      else
      @direction_fix = @old_dir_fix if @old_dir_fix != nil
      @old_dir_fix = nil
    end
    xzy_move
  end
end

Customization
Change the button on line 22 to what button you want to press to strafe.


Compatibility
Should be compatible with most scripts.


Screenshot
Can't exactly take a screenshot of this.


Installation
Just Plug & Play. If you have an ABS system, such as VTP, put this script above


FAQ
Q: ZOMG IZ NOT WORKING!!@!?!
A: I can't exactly help you if you don't call down and give me more info.

Q: I'm using it with VTP or another battle system, but it's not working!
A: Put this script above VTP or other battle system, but below the Kernal/Keyboard. If that doesn't work, I don't know at this time.

Q: Wait, I have another question!
A: Just ask me below, or PM me.

Q: Can't you just event this?
A: Probably.

I'm trying to place this script in my game but not sure where it should be placed.
My game is using the requiem abs 8 script.
Ive tried placing it at the top of each of requiem scripts but keep getting syntax error message when testing game.
Sorry if this is a silly question as I'm pretty new to vx.
If any more information is needed to help me please let me know. Thank you.

[Xzygon]

Not at the top of each requiem scripts. Put it below Kernel (Or Keyboard, if you have it.) Make sure it's above the battle system.

(For others; It works without the kernel, but for whatever reason, if you have it, it needs to be below.)

[lfcscouselad]

Working perfect now. I had it in correct place but didn't realise it was D button on keyboard to use.

Thanks for your help and sorry for silly question.

[Xzygon]

No problem. (Really? For me, it's C. Odd. It should be default, but myeh...)
