Moving platforms

[MGCaladtogel]

I found in my archives an old script that I made perhaps one year ago and which was apparently only released in French. This script handles moving platforms.

As it seems that there is no similar script on this board, I made a quick (and poor) translation.
The script itself is quite long, so I post a demo :

The explanations and examples can be found in this demo.
I think that this script has probably a bad compatibility with other scripts, since lots of basic classes are modified.

its not bad but there was a part of the tutorial that i couldn't get through.

Lol funny story...

I just made this with events.

But this Method is coool...  Will use it ^^

I love this script, it's so innovative! Great for puzzle games

 

[Krobelus]

Yea totally, great for adding many more hours onto your game with just a few puzzles. Excellent idea.

Plus it comes with a great jumping, 8-Directional, Pixel-movement system. I'd get it just for that

 

[Necrile]

OMG...I absolutely love this. Tell your mother thank you for being born.

Pixel-movement system. I'd get it just for that

That´s not amazing XD...
If i can use it with fOetz! pixelmovement.. than it´ll be amazing.. because Pixelmovement just matters, if i have real pixel walls...
With this one, the actor stops 16 pixels awa from the block, if it uses a half filled tile...


Can you make it work with fOetz! pixelmovement 1.5x???

 

[Link in Pink]

I meant the Pixel movement, jump and run.

F0tz is amazing, but it's incompatible with so many scripts. =X

If only this could be converted to VX...

 

[Krobelus]

Yea, could you also make a VX version? o.o

Is there a way to get the moving platforms without the jumping code in there? It interferes with an Input(TRIGGER) in my game. I can't change the keyboard button, because all of the available ones are being used already.

Lol funny story...

I just made this with events.

I can't even begin to think how you would do this with events, and I'm making an evented battle system in RM2k3 for my RM2k3 project. XD

Link in Pink -> In 'Moving_Platforms 1', there is l.129 (class Scene_Map) this part of code :

    if Input.trigger?(Input::Z)
      unless $game_system.map_interpreter.running? or
             $game_system.menu_disabled
        $game_temp.menu_calling = true
        $game_temp.menu_beep = true
      end
    end
    if Input.trigger?(Input::A) and $game_switches[$jump_switch_number.to_i] and
      !$game_player.jumping? and !$game_switches[$void_switch_number.to_i]
      $game_player.jump(0,0)
    end
    if Input.press?(Input::B) and $game_switches[$run_switch_number.to_i]
      $game_player.run_mode
    else $game_player.walk_mode
    end

You just have to delete the test that calls the jump function.
With this code :

    if Input.trigger?(Input::Z)
      unless $game_system.map_interpreter.running? or
             $game_system.menu_disabled
        $game_temp.menu_calling = true
        $game_temp.menu_beep = true
      end
    end
    if Input.press?(Input::B) and $game_switches[$run_switch_number.to_i]
      $game_player.run_mode
    else $game_player.walk_mode
    end

the 'A' button isn't used to jump any more.

ablahblah987 and Krobelus -> currently I can't make a VX version for a simple reason : I don't have RMVX (60$ just to make a new version of this script is a bit too expensive for me).

jbrist and Jirbytaylor -> to make moving platforms with events is very impressive. I began game making with RM2k3 and creating a complex system was a real challenge.

 

[Link in Pink]

Thanks, I wasn't sure if I could just delete that part of the code =P

I assume you can do that for the dash too, right?

 

[Sparx-1]

Can someone tell me how to make this compatible with XAS? At least tell me how to remove the pixelmovement aspect. That would be more epic than the colision between an Inazuma Kick and a Falcon Punch! lol

 

[Link in Pink]

Compatibility with XAS would be nice.

 

[syvkal]

I was going to do a VX version of this (I've already converted quite a few scripts), but most people don't like me doing this (or atleast I'm not allowed to post it), so I never bothered with this one.

I could do it if you like, but no real promise, it's not more important than my work...

 

[MGCaladtogel]

I will try to make it compatible with XAS (I'll keep XAS move system), but it will take some time (XAS is a quite complex script).
