changing movement speed

[ImmuneEntity]

Is there somewhere in the scripting where I can manually change the speed of the player? Or a command I can call to do so? I just really feel that "4:fast" is a bit too fast and "3: slow" is a bit too slow. Basically, how do i set how many pixels the player moves each frame?

Note: I can't script hardly at all...so please use simple language

Don't sure if you can give it other values.

$game_map.events[event_id].move_speed = 4

There has to be a way. There has to be a line of code somewhere that essentially says "move (so many pixels)*move_speed"

I gave it a quick skim, and it seems like line 81 of Game_Character 2 does it.

distance = 2 ** @move_speed

If I multiply the result by 2, everything moves twice as fast. Fiddle with it as you see fit.

Sweet, I'll fiddle around with it. Thanks.

EDIT: I'm trying to make only the player move according to a specific formula. So what I'm trying to do (since I don't know how to test if the current event being tested is the player) is set the player's speed to 7 via actionscript (you can't normally set it that high in RMXP), then test for that value in the script and act accordingly. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, but basically how do i get the $game_map.events[event_id].move_speed = 7 code to work when I call a script? I thought 0 might be event_id for the player but I guess not...it gives an error.

Use $game_player.move_speed instead.

When I try to call the script $game_player.move_speed=(a number), I get the following error message

I must be doing something stupid...

Right. Add this above main:

class Game_Player
  attr_writer :move_speed
end

i have a problem with this. The system still only allows a set pixels per amount movement... if i have $game_player.move_speed=0.1 for instance. It doesnt do anything. So does anyone know how to make the system move by decimals (e.g. 0 = no movement, 0.1 = a tenth of movement speed 1, 0.2 = two tenths of movement speed 1, etc.)
