Thats Pretty cool. well i kno the scipt how to JUMP! :D

[fubbyquacker]

is that german, or swedish, or sweedish cuz i live in denmark and it is very close to danish

[WoodrowShigeru]

I am trying to do something similar with Jump, Strafe and Slide but the problem with the Conditional Branch in this editor is that you can't check whether a specific button is RELEASED. Or "not pressed". The else of "if pressing button Z" doesn't really mean "if button Z is released" - it means "if ( button Z is not pressed ) or ( any other button is pressed )". And that is horribly complicated (at least for me!)

... although, I could create one big common event for all ... *mumble, mumble*

[WoodrowShigeru]

great vid but here are a few things:

I used to use "Erase Event" rather than Self-Switches, too, the problem is that the event re-appears if you leave and re-enter the map. (well, here it is not really a problem but inelegant)

Automatically activating switches might work with an autorun event if you always start on a certain map and that map only but (at least for debug purposes) I'd say it's better to set Autoswitches directly via the script editor. Independant on the map.

@WoodrowShigeru This is why i made it a common event rather then just a event on the map, it only needs to be activated once in the game, then it works until its deactivated again.. as far as i know.. Oh and also i tried making a kingdom hearts battle system with events once.. i never really finished it but a lot of stuff is possible with common events

[rokstar234]

@Seph976 i made a entire veicle system using common events

[ayyauchiha]

really good. but i have one question. how do you change the sprite when the guy is running?

[WoodrowShigeru]

@ayyauchiha you also do that via Set Move Route: there's a button "Change Graphic" - the only catch is that you have to create a little Conditional-Branch-fest (when Player is facing X) in order to keep the graphics direction proper.

Also the editor doesn't supply a running animation so you'd have to create your own sprites. Which is possible.

[Seph976]

@WoodrowShigeru Actually it should work if you just change the graphics.. cause it changes the whole character set.. the problem though is you would need a branch to see if your standing still or not since it would change the graphics as fast as you hit the button even if you arent moving

Just what i'm looking for... THANKS A LOT!!! ^_^

[Dizmaniac]

Really awesome tutorial, I tried how to do a walk/run script on my own and I was SO close.. I tried it the same way you did (common event with parallel process over switch with a conditional branch) I just made a mistake and put the "walk" script in the "End" Case instead of "Else" case and wondered why it didn´t work -.- though it was obvious... so you really saved my day, thx! :) 5/5 !!!!
