8 frame movement problem

[ryanwh]

Im sure this has been resolved, but I think it was lost in the hack or archived at .net or something.
When using the idle/8 way movement script/script edit respectively, it appears that for some reason the 7th frame when walking to the side skips completely, give the appearance of some kind of limp or something. Its weird. It works fine in the front and rear views. Did I overlook something?

Post the script so we can help better.

Um, there is no 8 way movement script. You go into Sprite_Character and change the width from 4 frames to 8, then you go into Game_Character_2 and change line 23 to adjust the speed of the frames. Two small edits, I thought everyone knew that. That's why its called a script EDIT, not a script.

do you know where we can find sprites ready for 8 way movement?

I was just trying to help. Maybe it is a problem with the graphic, since you don't seem to want to post the edit you made. Check if the 7th frame is the same as the 6th frame.

I have an Eight Direction & More Frames System script, as well as the New Pixelmovement Script by f0tz!baerchen.

And for sprite templates, you can check out Tana's own website right HERE!

Your script cuts the top half of the chars off. I dont have or want diagonal animations. I just want 8 horizontal frames, how do I get that script to just do that and nothing else cus it seemed to fix the frame skip problem.

Read the script FAQ.

FAQ
Q: Does this allow for 4 directional movement AND multiple animations?
A: No. I only set this script up for 8 directions. Later, maybe
Q: Is this a finished script?
A: No. Still needs work: Walking backwards, event commands, etc.

Read the script FAQ.

Which wouldn't matter because that script isn't even what he is looking for. Read the title.

8 frame movement problem

 

[DerVVulfman]

And both scripts suggested can change the number of frames of animation.

Including 8 frames.

If not mine, then try fotz's. That one's a test-bed of almost every movement & map/movement related script (except SBABS and Fog of War).

 

[ryanwh]

where's his script? It doesnt seem to be on your script listing.

 

[DerVVulfman]

Um... it's the 10th script in the Custom Movement System spoiler. But... here you go, a direct copy. :D

Allows you to move characters based on pixel location, not on the 32x32 tiles. Includes caterpillar system, 8-directional controls and more.​

More extra bells and whistles. I really just, you know, need 8 frame movement to work. Is it really that difficult a request or do I need to add diagonal charframes or pixel maps a hundred times over because the scripters can't be bothered. Forget it, he'll keep limping if these are the only options.

 

[GreatSuperheroPikachu]

post your script edit. i might help.

 

[arev]

calm down ryanwh :p
I made a small test, and it works as expected. I noticed that you didn'y mention about editing line 31 of Game_Character2, which should look like this:

@pattern = (@pattern % 8) + 1

to work with 8 frame + idle. if you have edited it, then its probably the sprite fault, but if you only edited those lines mentioned before, than that's the problem.

 

[ryanwh]

Yay it worked. Thanks man. That was driving me bonkers.
