Jumping towards?

[Kevvviiinnn]

How does one get an event (or the player) to jump towards a specified event (or uhh...player)?

 

[SephirothSpawn]

How far?

$game_map.events[event_id].jump(x_plus, y_plus)
# or for the player
$game_player.jump(x_plus, y_plus)

Doesn't matter how far really, I just want to make it so an event will jump towards the player or another event. Thank you ^-^

Time to bump this old thread. Is there a script command perhaps that allows x event to jump towards or away from the player? Also, a command that allows them to jump towards/away from another event?

Bump ^_^

I guess you can use this:

#==============================================================================
# ** Game_Character (Jump Commands By SephirothSpawn)
#==============================================================================
  
class Game_Character
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Jump toward character
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def jump_toward_character(character = $game_player)
    # Get difference in player coordinates
    sx = @x - character.x
    sy = @y - character.y
    # If coordinates are equal
    if sx == 0 and sy == 0
      return
    end
    # Get absolute value of difference
    abs_sx = sx.abs
    abs_sy = sy.abs
    # If horizontal and vertical distances are equal
    if abs_sx == abs_sy
      # Increase one of them randomly by 1
      rand(2) == 0 ? abs_sx += 1 : abs_sy += 1
    end
    # If horizontal distance is longer
    if abs_sx > abs_sy
      # Jump towards character, prioritize left and right directions
      sx > 0 ? jump(-1, 0) : jump(1, 0)
      if not jumping? and sy != 0
        sy > 0 ? jump(0, -1) : jump(0, 1)
      end
    # If vertical distance is longer
    else
      # Jump towards character, prioritize up and down directions
      sy > 0 ? jump(0, -1) : jump(0, 1)
      if not jumping? and sx != 0
        sx > 0 ? jump(-1, 0) : jump(1, 0)
      end
    end
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Jump away from character
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def jump_away_from_character(character = $game_player)
    # Get difference in player coordinates
    sx = @x - character.x
    sy = @y - character.y
    # If coordinates are equal
    if sx == 0 and sy == 0
      return
    end
    # Get absolute value of difference
    abs_sx = sx.abs
    abs_sy = sy.abs
    # If horizontal and vertical distances are equal
    if abs_sx == abs_sy
      # Increase one of them randomly by 1
      rand(2) == 0 ? abs_sx += 1 : abs_sy += 1
    end
    # If horizontal distance is longer
    if abs_sx > abs_sy
      # Jump away from character, prioritize left and right directions
      sx > 0 ? jump(1, 0) : jump(-1, 0)
      if not jumping? and sy != 0
        sy > 0 ? jump(0, 1) : jump(0, -1)
      end
    # If vertical distance is longer
    else
      # Jump away from character, prioritize up and down directions
      sy > 0 ? jump(0, 1) : jump(0, -1)
      if not jumping? and sx != 0
        sx > 0 ? jump(1, 0) : jump(-1, 0)
      end
    end
  end
end

Insert above Main. Just use

e1 = <character>
e2 = <character>
-then-
e1.jump_toward_character(e2)
-or-
e1.jump_away_from_character(e2)

Replace <character> with:

The Player : $game_player
An Event : $game_map.events[event_id]

I haven't tested this. Let me know.

It works perfectly. Thanks, Seph, you're truly the greatest! ^-^
