[Hblade]

UPDATES:
Allow only 4 way movement
Wall Collision

Hey guys, I've finally did it! no moonwalk, no glitches, the perfect anti-moonwalk for RPG games First, make your player, add event ->Draw Actor -> Script Editor, and put this script in.

First, make a variable called STATE, then place this code in Draw Actor

Code: Select all

char *key=GetKeyState();

if (key[KEY_UP] == 1 && key[KEY_DOWN] == 0){
    if (STATE!=90){
        if (STATE!=10){
        STATE = 10;
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "WalkUp", FORWARD);
                  }
    y-=3;
                  }
    if (STATE == 90){
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "StandingUp", FORWARD);
                    }
                                           }
if (key[KEY_UP] == 0 && key[KEY_DOWN] == 1){
    if (STATE!=91){
        if (STATE!=11){
        STATE = 11;
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "WalkingDown", FORWARD);
                  }
    y+=3;
                  }
    if (STATE == 91){
           ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "StandingDown", FORWARD);
                       }
                                           }
if (key[KEY_LEFT] == 1 && key[KEY_RIGHT] == 0 && key[KEY_UP] == 0 && key[KEY_DOWN] == 0){
    if (STATE!=92){
        if (STATE!=12){
        STATE = 12;
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "WalkingLeft", FORWARD);
                  }
                  x-=3;
                  }
                  if (STATE == 92){
                      ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "StandingLeft", FORWARD);
                                  }
                                              }
if (key[KEY_LEFT] == 0 && key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1 && key[KEY_UP] == 0 && key[KEY_DOWN] == 0){
    if (STATE!=93){
        if (STATE!=13){
        STATE = 13;
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "WalkRight", FORWARD);
                  }
                  x+=3;
                  }
                  if (STATE == 93){
                      ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "StandingRight", FORWARD);
                                  }
                                              }
if (key[KEY_UP] == 1 && key[KEY_DOWN] == 1 && STATE == 10){
    STATE = 40;
                                                          }
if (key[KEY_UP] == 1 && key[KEY_DOWN] == 1 && STATE == 11){
    STATE = 41;
                                                          }
if (key[KEY_LEFT] == 1 && key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1 && STATE == 12){
    STATE = 42;
                                                             }
if (key[KEY_LEFT] == 1 && key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1 && STATE == 13){
    STATE = 43;
                                                             }
if (STATE == 40){
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "StandingUp", FORWARD);
                }
if (STATE == 41){
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "StandingDown", FORWARD);
                }
if (STATE == 42){
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "StandingLeft", FORWARD);
                }
if (STATE == 43){
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "StandingRight", FORWARD);
                }


There you have it! I'm enhancing it as well so keep looking for the updates

Sweet.

[Hblade]

Thanks Updated

Thats pretty long...and too much of IF on draw actor. Thats bad for performance.
I have a simpler version

- make integer variables : "direct", "walk", "anim"
- player-DrawActor :

Code: Select all

if(walk==1){
if(direct==0){
y-=3;
if(anim==0){ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","walk_up",FORWARD);anim=1;}}
if(direct==1){
x+=3;
if(anim==0){ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","walk_right",FORWARD);anim=1;}}
if(direct==2){
y+=3;
if(anim==0){ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","walk_down",FORWARD);anim=1;}}
if(direct==3){
x-=3;
if(anim==0){ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","walk_left",FORWARD);anim=1;}}}

- player-Keydown :

Code: Select all

direct=0; //for up key
//or
direct=1; //for right key
walk=1;

- player-Keyup :

Code: Select all

walk=0;
//add the stop animation depend on direct value here

- player-AnimationFinish :

Code: Select all

anim=0;

This is my standard method. Used on most my game, as well as Winter Blast

[Hblade]

Yes but your method does have one moonwalk glitch. If you press a key before his animation is done he will float in that direction for a few frames before he switches his animation It's still nice for such a small script congrats bee

[Bee-Ant]

Ohh...that one. its easy to fix.
Maybe something like this :
Player-Keydown-Up

Code: Select all

direct=0;
walk=1;
ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","walk up",NO_CHANGE);

Etc for the other keydown, but
Dunno...
Im away of computer

[Hblade]

k Anyways hope the script comes in handy for people

[Bee-Ant]

Im not going to fix and publish it...

[Hblade]

Oh ... your script is much simpler though :O, Anyways, BeeAnt, any idea how I can make a 1-grid movement system with this script?

[thunderios]

If you use Bee-Ant's script, you might want to click on 'wait for frame action' when you click add, that way it will only walk the way you want when the animation is finished, right?

[Bee-Ant]

Oh ... your script is much simpler though :O

I'm not Mr. nice guy who will publish his code to everyone (only for certain people)
I'm wicked

Anyways, BeeAnt, any idea how I can make a 1-grid movement system with this script?

Talking about pokemon huh???
Im also going to use that system for the new Winter Blast

It may be :
1. Remove the KeyUp event
2. Add this code to the AnimationFinish

Code: Select all

walk=0;

3. Add this code to Draw Actor

Code: Select all

if(walk==0)
{
if(direct==0)ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "stop up",FORWARD);
if(direct==1)ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "stop right",FORWARD);
if(direct==2)ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "stop down",FORWARD);
if(direct==3)ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "stop left",FORWARD);
}

[Hblade]

Hey nice bee O.O

[Bee-Ant]

Really? I havent tested it yet.
Also, edit your Keydown event to :

Code: Select all

if(walk==0){
direct=yourdirectvalue;
walk=1;}

To avoid a direct turn.

The next job is how you adjust your walking animation to be finished in 1 tile lenght.

Good luck

[Hblade]

Thanks
