Characters going off the map

[syvkal]

Right when I'm using some coding to make you walk in all 9 directions you can occasionaly walk off the map when you go diagonally.

Well this is kinda RGSS help in 2 ways.

First - Why does this happen and how could I stop it?


Second - How does this happen and could I make it so you can walk off the map and go round it (maybe for test games) ?



Thanks

Nine directions? I think you mean eight.

Your first question entirely depends upon the sctipt that you're using.

For your second question... you can't really but I don't see why you'd want to. The only way you could is to make the map bigger but have the screen move as if the dimensions were smaller... but that's so much of a hassle it's not worth it, and again, I don't see why you'd need it.

What is the ninth direction?

Yeah I did mean 8, but the ninth direction is up (eg. jumping).

All I've done for 8 directions is change this in Game_Player:

      case Input.dir4
      when 2
        move_down
      when 4
        move_left
      when 6
        move_right
      when 8
        move_up
      end

To this:

      case Input.dir8 
      when 2 
        move_down 
      when 4 
        move_left 
      when 6 
        move_right 
      when 8 
        move_up 
      when 7 
        move_upper_left 
      when 9 
        move_upper_right 
      when 3 
        move_lower_right 
      when 1 
        move_lower_left 
      end

Is there anything wrong in that scripting?
