8-directional SIMPLE script.

[Nachos]

Simple 8-directional movement script.

Did you ever want to have an 8-directional movement script which:

-Doesn't use SDK.
-Has no other fancy functions
-It is compatible with almost everything (found an error with UCoders message system, but fixed)

Then this if for you!

Compatibility:

-Almost everything. It only overwrites Game_Player.

There. I'm 90% sure someone will come and say "Hey this is stupid, there are a lot of 8-directional scripts!"
I DON'T CARE.

Be well

Actually this is just what I was looking for. Makes it a little more bareable when using a 360 controller instead of the default 4 direction movement :D
Thanks!

It's very good, very light, and easy.

Just small thing, is it me or does it seem your going faster when walking diagonally?

 

[Nachos]

Yeah It happens with all 8-directional scripts. I'm going to fix it.

 

[AuraOfWind]

Bad news, does not work with the simple mouse script.

 

[Nachos]

can you give me that script so I can fix it?

 

[JosephSeraph]

the thing about diagonally faster happens also with most 2d PROFESSIONAL games
Star Ocean 2---Bunny shoes+walk diagonally, enemies will barely hit you(example)

 

[Nachos]

Bad news, does not work with the simple mouse script.

I tohugh ssimple mouse script already has an 8 directional

The mentioned speed increase for diagonal movement comes from the speed addition from both directional movements. Just in case anyone doesn't know the correct formula, lemme tell you you have to divide the move speed by 1.4 (root of 2).

@nahchito: You definately need to alias this... in fact, you should alias as much as possible for submitted scripts, but yeah... this is one you need ^^ Especially since you didn't change too much in there (which is good, because you're keeping it simple ), and I think you have the double amount of lines you'd actually need.
