Adjusting Players Speed

[leadbelly]

In my game theres a part where your driving a cart through a mine and you ahve to dodge objects.
i wanna know how i can make the player have the opportunity to adjust the speed of the cart while its being moved by pressing a button or something.

can anyone help !

Spoiler

Just change the speed and frequency to whatever you need.

 

[leadbelly]

thanks, but i wanna give the player the ability to adjust the speed whenever while he is being forced to move a certain path.
you understand? or should i try explain in better detail ?

 

[Fusty]

So you want an event that already has a custom move route to adjust it's speed whenever the player wants right?
If so this way it should work, the only thing you have to do is add another conditional branch under ''Else'' that lowers the speed when you press a certain button.

nono my player is the thing being moved.
THis is the scenario.

The main character gets on a cart that is on a rail so it has to go a certain direction ya know ?
So, while the player is being moved around on the cart i want the option to make the cart move faster or to move slower.
you know ?

When you get in the mine cart, can the player move around at will or does it move via a custom move route?
Perhaps you could show me some screenshots of how you have it set up right now? That might help a bit.

I see what you mean...
Do what fusty asked you too,
then create another event, also with paralel process. In this event, set the move route of the player.

its a custom move route, so i just want the ability to change the carts speed, ya know ?

set the custom move route here.

to be sure that i understand what you mean, it's like this game right?

I can't add much more to what valdred has already said.
You need 1 event that has the move route of the player (your autorun event) and another one with the conditional branches I posted. (this one must be a parallel process)

 

[leadbelly]

mmhm i understand.
but have you tested it out yourself ?
cause beleive me it is hard, and i dun know how to get it too work but now i haev another problem on my hands.
which is that rpg maker wont allow me to run an event touch while the player is on a move route. :fap:

I've done a quick test and it seems to work, but it could be that by increasing the speed the move route reaches it's end to quickly which will cause problems if you have a wait command behind it.
If that happens your mine cart will reach the end of the move route and will stand still until the wait command is done.

 

[valdred]

I don't know how to fix your other problem... I'll figure out something

thats what happend to me aswell.
i made the Up bottun speed up cart and down button slow down cart and whenever you press the button it just stopped the move route, its a tricky problem im in

 

[valdred]

what about using "wait for moves completion" ?
