How to slow the hero on world map? Options

[vaporate23]

Hi guys,

Don't worry, I will not post every single problem, just a few. (managed to find loads of tutorials)

Anyhow, would it be possible for anyone to post an example of the script on how to do this?

Basically I want the hero, while walking on the world map, to walk very slow. As if the hero is actually on a long journey while on his/her way to their next destination.

However, for this slow walking pace to stop once the hero is off the world map and enters a cave, bridge, town, castle, city ect.

(I have already made 2 common events for off and on world map with a smaller sprite for the world map and a common event for the save point with sprite).

Well, the Move command in the event command list can change the hero's walking speed. I think you'd have to rig up an auto-start event on the world map that will slow the character and put one on each other map to restore their speed.

You can do that, or use a "Slow Movement Speed Hero" for whenever they leave town. And speed it up again when they arrive in a town, airship, event, etc.

Could you elaborate on how that's done?

SWITCH 0001:

[Move Event]
- EVENT NAME: Hero
- Decrease Speed

(Use this when you leave town, make the speed return to normal when you enter town. You can do this through events!)

Thanks for that Brent Murray. You are a legend.

Completed that task for my world map in my game for each cave, town, castle, city, village, forest thus far.

I will credit you for this.
