[Eventing]Changing Vehicle Speeds Options

[Koru-chan]

This is more for beginners that don't know anything about scripts. This may seem useless to some people, but I wanted different speeds for the vehicles than what was provided. This is such an easy script mod that even a non-scripter can pull it off. I'm going to write this as elementary as possible in case someone who knows nothing about RM wants to use it.



Above shows where you need to be. Click the script button to pull up this window. If you don't know what button that is, it's the one that looks like a piece of paper with a green pencil on it.

Once here, click on "Game_Vehicle", as highlighted in blue in the image on the left side of the script screen. The section below line 54, in the red bracket, is where we need to work.

The game sets the boat as number 0, the ship as number 1, and the airship as number 2.

when 0;
@priority_type = 1
@move_speed = 4
when 1;
@priority_type = 1
@move_speed = 5
when 2;
@priority_type = @driving ? 2 : 0
@move_speed = 6

This is what you need to edit. when 0; means "when boat." When it's a boat, from the move_speed, you can see it's speed is 4, which is the speed at which your person normally walks. This can only be an integer between 1 and 6.

1 = 1/8 your normal speed
2 = 1/4 your normal speed
3 = 1/2 your normal speed
4 = normal speed
5 = 2X speed
6 = 4X speed

So from here, you just edit the number next to move_speed under the vehicle you want to change the speed of. So for example:

when 0;
@priority_type = 1
@move_speed = 3
when 1;
@priority_type = 1
@move_speed = 6
when 2;
@priority_type = @driving ? 2 : 0
@move_speed = 5

For some odd reason, I've decided to make my ship faster than my airship and the boat slower than my character walks. The code above says that the boat moves at 1/2 speed, the ship at 4X speed, and the airship at 2X speed.

I hope this helps anyone that wanted to change the vehicle speed and that this tutorial at least proves useful to someone.

Very good. I'm a non-educated scripter but I know some of the things that need to be changed, however your script Almost confused me, save for a few tidbits at the end that made it all clear. IF you read slow and careful you'll understand it. Oh, and if you have RMVX you might understand that as well, but I unferstand that it's not released till next month. Sad
