Tactical Espionage Engine

Version: 1.0
Author: Maximusmaxy
Release Date: 7/10/2011

Introduction
This is a fully revamped version of the first script I ever wrote. It's a compilation of smaller scripts I've written to make up an MGS styled tactical espionage engine. You can do a range of things with this script from avoiding guards, to your own ice slide mini game.

Features

• Fields of view, with many different types (pyramid, diamond, cone, linear...)
• Walk, Run, Sneak with configurable keys and speeds.
• Modified Terrains (fast, slow, loud, slippery)
• Cancel/Menu button split
• MGS styled wall locking and wall knocking.
• Planned Features (Path finding)

#
#                              Introduction:
#
# This is a compilation of small scripts ive written, compiled together to make
# a tactical espionage engine, much like a metal gear solid game (it's where i
# got the idea from).
#
# Features:
# - Fields of view, with many different types
# - Walk, Run, Sneak with configurable keys/speeds.
# - Modified Terrains
# - Cancel/Menu button split
# - Wall locking, like in MGS
#
#                              Field of View:
#
# To add a field of view to an event you place the field of view comment in
# the event. If you enter the events field of view it will activate the self
# switch specified which could than trigger a chase event system or an autorun
# event, however you want that event to react.
# The comment you place in the event follows this format:
#
# Fov(TYPE,DISTANCE,SELF_SWITCH)
#
# TYPE is the field of view type.
# If type is 0 no field of view is used. But the event is activated by noises.
#
# Type 1: Diamond      Type 2: Pyramid      Type 3: Linear     Type 4: Circle
#
#                              N                          
#      3                      3N                                     3
#     234                    23N                                    234
#   E1234N                 E123N               E1234N              12E4N
#     234                    23N                                    234
#      3                      3N                                     3
#                              N                  
#                                      
# where Distance = 5  where Distance = 4  where distance = 5  where Distance = 5
#
#                    Type 5: Cone
#
#                          oo          The cone is not affected by distance
#                        oooo          but events using it cannot see through
#                       Eoooo          walls.
#                        oooo
#                          oo
#
# DISTANCE is how many tiles they look in that direction.
#
# SELF_SWICH is the switch that is changed when you enter the field of view
#
# You can omit putting in the distance/type/switch and use the defaults
# eg. Fov(3,5,A) or Fov(4,1) or Fov(2) or Fov
#
# You can change the field of view manually using a the call scripts. You can
# change either all attributes or one at a time.
#
# TEE.fov(TYPE,DISTANCE,SWITCH)
# TEE.fow_type(TYPE)
# TEE.fov_distance(DISTANCE)
# TEE.fov_switch(SWITCH)
#
#
#                          Walk/Run/Sneak:
#
# Running and sneaking can be enabled and disabled during the game using script
# calls. It is highly recommended to disable them manually during cutscenes.
# The script calls are as follows:

# TEE.run_enable         (enables running)
# TEE.sneak_enable       (enables sneaking
# TEE.wrs_enable         (enables both running and sneaking)
# TEE.run_disable        (disables running)
# TEE.sneak_disable      (disables sneaking)
# TEE.wrs_disable        (disables both running and sneaking)
#
#                          Modified Terrains:
#
# Using different terrain tags you can make different things happen. The terrain
# tags can be changed in the configuration.

# Wall terrain - Denotes that the terrain is a wall.
# Loud Terrain - Creates a sound depending on how fast you are moving.
# Slow Terrain - Slows the player down.
# Fast Terrain - Speeds the player up.
# Slip Terrain - Makes the player move forward until hitting a different terrain
#                or hitting an impassable tile.
#
# Loud terrains automatically activate the self switch of surrounding events
# with a field of view. It draws a circle of a size relative to your move speed.
# The size of the circle can be changed in the config. The size doubles if you
# are running but is non existant if you are sneaking.
#
#                             Wall Locking:
#
# This function gives you the MGS style wall locking feature, to use it walk up
# against a wall and then press against the wall again. You may only wall lock
# on terrains specified as walls in the modified terrains. Whilst in this mode
# you will strafe along the wall, and if you hit Input C (decision key) you will
# knock on the wall, causing a noise and triggering events with a field of view
# within a circle. The loudness of your knock depends on which running/sneaking
# keys are pressed down. You may enable/disable wall locking with the call
# script as follows:
#
# TEE.wall_lock_enable   (enables wall locking)
# TEE.wall_lock_disable  (disables wall locking)
#
#                           Event Resetting:
#
# It is recommended to reset your events after triggering them with either a
# field of view or a noise. Resetting your events returns them to there
# initial position, resets there move path and sets there self switch to off.
# You can reset all the events on the map using the call script:
#
# TEE.reset              (resets the events with a fov on the map)
#
#                              Menu Split:
#
# This feature simply splits the menu and cancel button into 2 seperate buttons.
# Its not an important feature but like most RPG's the cancel button is usually
# also the run button and i have tried to emulate this. It can be enabled or
# disabled in the configuration and the key can be changed.
#
#                            Compatabillity:
#
# This script is very likely to have compatabillity issues with other running
# and sneaking scripts,possibly 8 directional/pixel based movement scripts and
# other scripts which change or use certain controls. If the menu split
# conflicts with other scripts just disable it in the configuration.

Features

• Modified Terrains (fast, slow, loud, slippery)

Wooot Terrain-based movement speed... I will have this in my mind. Very useful for simulating stairs / sand / shallow water in a game. This is exactly what I was looking for, but never though it has to be a script instead of an event. Good work!

[Green Biker Dude...]

Well, this is extremely cool! Nice work!

I was wondering if there are ways to change which sounds are used for noisy terrain, wall sticking, and wall knocking? Like if I wanted to change the sounds used in different rooms? Or even in the same room? Like the grates and normal floor in the same room both make sound, but it's a different sound? Even if they are right next to each other?

Is there a way to make wall sticking make the character move a little? Like, just a few pixels up? How about changing the character sheet? And how about doing that with the wall knocking too? When you do a wall knock, a way to make the character actually tap the wall?

Sorry to ask so many questions.

(Thumbs up for using a Snake sprite! And not yet another demo of Aluxes, ugh)
