[RMXP] StandWalkRun, Conversion of the RMVX Version Options

[Ty]

Note: This is a two-minute conversion of the RMVX script of the same name.

Script Name: Stand/Walk/Run
Written By: Synthesize
Current Version: V.2.50 Final
RMVX Release Date: January 26, 2008
RMXP Release Date: July 17, 2011


What is this script?
This script adds running, idle animations, running animations and stamina to your projects. You run by pressing the 'A' key (By default, Shift), and your running time is limited by the amount of Run points, or Stamina you have.

Features:
- Allows you to have running animations
- Allows you to have idle animations
- Allows you to specify the time before the actor goes idle
- Allows you to have run points
- Allows you to customize how many run points are restored
- Turn everything ON/OFF

Can I increase/decrease/set my Stamina in-game?
Yes, simply use the following in a Call Script event command: $game_player.max_run_points += #
Where # is the value you wish to increase the max points by.

DEMO: (Slightly Outdated, copy/paste script above)
http://www.4shared.com/file/7puHxTuv/StandWalkRun.html

[Biohazard]

Awesome script. I think I'll swap this in place of my eventing I did for my game to clean it up a bit, plus it let's me use an idle animation, which would be annoying to do through eventing if I had thought about it before this came out. Thanks =)

Hey I'm trying to download the demo, unfortunately the D/L is always a zero byte file, so er, no good.
Any fix?

The reason I wanted the demo is because The script wants some run graphic, I er don't know if I have any.

[Yusshin]

I get a syntax error on Line 2 :S how do I fix it?

Only other scripts I have are The Law G14's equipment, skill, start, save, and item menus.

[neiljwd]

IS there a way to make this work in unison with mouse control?

http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/10/3/212...Demo/Mousie.zip

Currently if I put the this page's Run script above mousie scripts, then u can' run.
If you put it below the mouse script, then you can run... but only with the keyboard.

Pressing the run key jsut like, pauses the run you've set with your mouse click.

[MarkHest]

I found an annoying bug with this (well, not a bug.. more a miss in the script )

Whenever you use the "Move Route" event commant, the charakter moves around in its idle stance. (Makes the cutscenes look kinda awkward)

Is there a way to fix this?

The reason I wanted the demo is because The script wants some run graphic, I er don't know if I have any.

The run file is simply a copy/pasted spritesheet I did, then added '_run' to the file name.
Example:
Actor1-01_run.png -- Will be the run file for the 'Actor1-01' graphic.

I get a syntax error on Line 2 :S how do I fix it?

Only other scripts I have are The Law G14's equipment, skill, start, save, and item menus.

It seems the code formatting got messed up when I posted it. Delete all of the lines at the TOP and BOTTOM of the script that look like this:
==============
Keep the ones that look like: (Note the '#')
#=============

The download link is broken, but you would have to modify how running works a bit. From lines 46 to 63 in 'def update' you will have to add a check to see if a mouse button is being pressed, and then enable running.

lol, I totally forgot about the move route command :V I added a fix to this. Copy/Paste the new script posted in the Original Post or just find this:

CODE

if Input.dir4 == 0
      wait(1, false) if StandWalkRun::Use_idle_sprite
        call_idle($game_player.character_name + StandWalkRun::Idle_sprite_suffix, StandWalkRun::Use_anime) if @wait_time == StandWalkRun::Idle_time
        $game_temp.syn_state = "idle"

Replace with:

CODE

if Input.dir4 == 0
      wait(1, false) if StandWalkRun::Use_idle_sprite
      if $game_player.move_route_forcing == false
        call_idle($game_player.character_name + StandWalkRun::Idle_sprite_suffix, StandWalkRun::Use_anime) if @wait_time == StandWalkRun::Idle_time
        $game_temp.syn_state = "idle"
      end

[MarkHest]

It still didn't work for me O_o

I replaced the line in the script and the charakter still moves in idle state when using the Move Route command :S

Uppdate: It works if i the Event Command triggers before the sprite changes to the "_idle" sprite.

Maybe a code should be input to change back to the original sprite when using Move Route and then goes back to the _idle one when the Move Route is finnished. [Though i can't script so sorry if that sounded wrong, just thought it might be a solusion ]

Uppdate2: Or maybe turn off the _idle sprite when using the Move Route and then change back when the Move Route is finnished ^^

[Ty]

Find this line:
if $game_player.move_route_forcing == false
Change to something like:
if $game_player.move_route_forcing == false && $game_switches[switch_id]

Replace 'switch_id' with the ID value of an In-game switch, and that should solve the problem (Too lazy to add in a separate variable atm, will later, sleepy)

[MarkHest]

Haha, still didn't solve a thing xD

I'll just be patient and wait for the fix later, no rush ^^


EDIT: Found another bug... this one shuts the game down.
If Idle is swiched on and you opens up the menu when your charakter stands in the "Idle" sprite the game will crash when you close the menu saying: Cannot find "sprite name"_Idle_Idle

It looks for another "_idle" after the first "_Idle"...

What chould be the cause of this?

This doesn't happen in your demo so i'm kinda confused.. i even tried it on different projects with both separate scripts and same scripts... still i get the error.


EDIT2: Actualy it DID happen in the demo as well. If you wait for your sprite to become the animeted sprite in the demo then opens the menu and then close it, then wait 250 frames the error will show up.

Apparently, making the Wait Time for the Sprite to show up shorter will make the error show up faster the more you wait after closing the menu.
Strange error... I have 10 frames untill the Idle sprite shows up in my game so i get the error instant after closing the menu.

And if you make the wait time longer and manages to open up the menu again before the error comes it will later if you wait after closing the menu say:

-Cannot find "SpriteName"_idle_idle_idle-




EDIT 3: I found ANOTHER bug.
This bug will not alow you to adjust the movement speed of your charakter. It's speed is "4(fast)" no matter what you do :/

[neiljwd]

Thanks for the reply TY.
I've zero scripting abilities so I'll hold off a while trying that myself. Maybe as the project nears completion its a thing I'll have to to devote to
Unsure why the D/L doesn't work for you, it's off off this page http://houseslasher.com/index.php?showtopic=174

I really love this script btw, thanks for it

[neiljwd]

Me again.
If you ever get around to scrpting a compatability with Mousie that'd be top, but I have a new more pressing problem.

I can't chance my actors graphic, as soon as I move, it goes back to the 1 in the data base!
What do I have to change/delete to stop this please?

I don't care about the idle/dash animations, so I'm happy to lose them, just want to keep the DASH function itself.

[Night_Runner]

Hey neiljwd,

I've tweaked Ty's script to address the issue with changing the actor's graphic in the code below, hope it helps ^_^

@> Ty;
Why does it mention not being compatible with RMXP in the comments at the end of this script?

[neiljwd]

Hi Night_ Runner!
Appreciate you taking a shot at it. Scripting is such a hard unfathomable world for those unskilled at it.
So frustrating knowing it's probably a simple thing, but so beyond your own abilities.
So cheers for looking at it.

Sadly your script didn't work for me. I even looked for what you've done, seen the custom bit at the end so I've copied the right one (triple checked), but I'm at a loss.
Thanks for trying though.

[Night_Runner]

Are you using the 'Change Actor Graphic' command, or the 'set move route' command to change the graphic?

I just assumed that you were using the 'Set Move Route' > Player > Graphic, and made the fix for that method, I'm guessing that you're using the 'Change Actor Graphic'?

If so, that's even easier to get working

So awesome. Thank you. I was indeed doing change actor graphic, not move route, works for both now anyway. Amazing work.

I looked at what you did, added that custom bit ofc, and a few lines after line 133, but still jsut doesn't compute in my brain.
Also you credited yourself with an edit this time, much deserved, good to see! Thank you sir!
