RPGVX Engine - Movement, Based on RMVX Options

[Rukiri]

Instructions
Each NPC, Hero, Monster etc must have this creation code or else they will not be able to sync with this script.
if you changing the tile size to say 16, 8, or 5. You need to change the move speed to something lower, you may need to use something like.
move_speed = room_speed * 0.5;
motion_set(direction, tile_size_x/move_speed);

but for 32X32 or 16X16 just using move_speed= 4 or 2 are fine.
8X8 requires move_speed = 1. or you could just use motion_set method for easy movement.

Create Event

CODE

//==================//
//     Author: Rukiri
//     10/29/10
//==================//
// can this object move?
can_move = false;

//Movement speed
move_speed = 4;

// Animation Speed
ani_speed = 0.3;

// Tile Size
tile_size_x = 32;
tile_size_y = 32;

// Tile X/Y
tile_x = x/tile_size_x;
tile_y = y/tile_size_y;

// move
move_down = 1;
move_left = 2;
move_right = 3;
move_up = 4;

Do NOT make these variables global, these must be local variables. If you need to use say move_speed directly with the player object but through another event or script just use the with function.

Example:

CODE

with (obj_player) {
  move_speed = 4; // change 4 to what you want
}

Step Event

CODE

//step-event code
if can_move=true {
  if (tile_x * tile_size_x > x) {
    x += move_speed;
    break;
  } else if (tile_x * tile_size_x < x) {
    x -= move_speed;
    break;
  }

  if (tile_y * tile_size_y > y) {
    y += move_speed;
    break;
  } else if (tile_y * tile_size_y < y) {
    y -= move_speed;
    break;
  }
}

// stop event at the right tile.
if keyboard_check(vk_nokey) {
if (tile_x * tile_size_x = x) { can_move = false; }
if (tile_y * tile_size_y = y)  { can_move = false; }
}
else { can_move = true; }

Keyboard Script
The keyboard script used global variables as you're going to be using it with multiple objects, and it's for the hero and your allies only. Say you wanted to switch to an ally while in combat(got bored with your main hero)

CODE

globalvar kb_enter, kb_select, kb_up, kb_down, kb_left, kb_right, kb_nokey; // place all your keyboard keys in this line.

kb_enter = keyboard_check(vk_enter); // Enter Key
kb_select = keyboard_check(vk_space); // Select Key
kb_up = keyboard_check(vk_up); // Up Key
kb_down = keyboard_check(vk_down); // Down Key
kb_left = keyboard_check(vk_left); // Left Key
kb_right = keyboard_check(vk_right); // Right Key
kb_nokey = keyboard_check(vk_nokey); // No key

scr_move_step

CODE

// Moves the character based on tile position in direction argument0
    // This set of conditionals is strictly for Movement!
   /*
        move_up = 1
        move_down = 2
        move_left = 3
        move_right = 4
   */
    // example, scr_move_step(1,5) will move up 5 tiles.
    if (move_up = argument0) { if (!place_meeting(tile_x *tile_size_x, (tile_y - 1) * tile_size_y, obj_wall)) tile_y -= argument1; }
    else if (move_down = argument0n) { if (!place_meeting(tile_x * 32, (tile_y + 1) * tile_size_y, obj_wall)) tile_y += argument1; }
    else if (move_left = argument0) { if (!place_meeting((tile_x - 1) * tile_size_x, tile_y * tile_size_y, obj_wall)) tile_x -= argument1; }
    else if (move_right = argument0) { if (!place_meeting((tile_x + 1) * tile_size_x, tile_y * 32, obj_wall)) tile_x += argument1; }

// usage
// scr_move_step(argument0,argument1)  
// argument 0 is for direction
// argument 1 is for how many tile should the object move

Demo
Will be released soon!

Okay guys I completely revamped the script, it now can be used by any object!
All bugs have been fixed and everything is smooth!

RPG Maker Move Step
Version: 1.0
Author: Rukiri
Exclusive to: Planet RPG, Rpg Revolution
Style: RPG Maker XP/VX
Tile_move: Yes
Pixel_move: No
because x is divided by tile_size so if you set it to 1 the tile_x or y variable will be the same as x. I recommend using just 2 instead of 1 as the tile_size variables have to be a dividend of 2 basically X or y need to be divided by something that equals a whole number.

How to use
tiles_to_move_x = x Change X to the number of tiles you want to move horizontally.
tiles_to_move_y = x Change X to the number of tiles you want to move vertically.

scr_move_step(direction)

There's an example already in the step event coding.

You can also use this for actual player movement, just remove the code block for, stop_cutscene_move = false

and replace it with

CODE

if (x = tile_x * tile_size_x and y = tile_y * tile_size_y) {
  if keyboard_check(vk_down) {
    scr_move_step(1);
  }
}

Create Event

// can this object move?

// Tile Size
tile_size_x = 32;
tile_size_y = 32;

tile_y = y/tile_size_y;
tile_x_old = xprevious/tile_size_x;
tile_y_old = yprevious/tile_size_y;

// Tiles to move x/y  set to 0 for creation
tiles_to_move_x = 0;
tiles_to_move_y = 0;

// destination tile x/y  use the coding in step event
dest_tile_x = tile_x_old + tiles_to_move_x;
dest_tile_y = tile_y_old + tiles_to_move_y;

// stop cut_scene movement, only use if your using scr_move_step without keyboard checks. Use an alarm for delays in
// switching directions.

// move

lookin good Rukiri

Thanks Ozuma. Lol, you might wanna just create a sig bar instead of using our forums logo.
