Player : Dash
Version: 3.5
By: Kain Nobel

Introduction

This is a running (or "dashing" if we may) system, requested by Reon-Eclispe, which allows the player to dash for a designated period of time until they've depleted their stamina. The settings are instances of Game_Player::Dash, meaning you'll be able to modify, save and load them between game sessions.

I hate to say it but the settings are a bit touchy, you might want to experiment with whatever is suitable for your game. However, I'm sure you'll enjoy it once you get the hang of it!

Features

  • One-button running feature!
  • Easy to setup and control!
  • Customizable speeds for different movement phases
  • Player can be exhausted from running too much
  • Compatable with my Vehicles XP (not yet released)
  • Probably other stuff I'm too lazy to list right now

Instructions

Place below SDK/MACL and above Main! Setup is handled by the constants in the top of the script, if you have any questions or are confused don't hesitate to ask! This script uses the following method from MACL's "RGSS.Bitmap.gradient" library...

Bitmap.draw_seph_gradient_bar

Compatibility

Requires SDK stuffs, you can easily alias Game_Player::Dash.enabled? to allow other scripts to disable this system. This script is compatable with my Vehicles XP system (which I haven't released yet.)

Please note, this will corrupt old save files.

Credits and Thanks

Thanks to Reon-Eclispe for making the request, it was fun and I enjoyed doing this one!

Small update! Player won't run during evented moveroutes or anything anymore! Same update applied to jump script too (no jumping during messages lol) :P

Also, I realised some people might get a problem because Game_Player#@move_speed isn't an attr_accessor, so I updated that too.

Happy 4th people!

I'm not sure how you would've gotten the error, do you have any scripts that make a custom initialize method for Game_Player class without calling an alias or alias_method? If you do, you might want to try and put it below those scripts, when in doubt put it as your last custom script but above main.

Also, this snippet might help, place it somewhere within the script itself...

class Game_Player
def dash
@dash ||= Game_Player::Dash.new
@dash
end
end

That'll ensure, if @dash is nil, then it is loaded. If you're still having problems, you might want to list your custom scripts you're using and I'll try and help you out. Best bet would be sending me a demo or just your Scripts.rxdata file, that would be the easiest way for me to find out why it isn't working.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get this script to work at all. I'd really like to use it but it just doesn't seem to want to work.

To make sure it wasn't conflicting with anything I made an entirely new project and added the SDK, MACL, and Player : Dash. No matter what I do nothing from this script works except the dash bar and text which appear (and have that irritating flashing thing...). I've tried changing the stamina, and I've even lowered the walking speed to 1 and the character doesn't move any slower.

And the SDK breaks Sideview Battle System Tankentai XP - Version 2.2xp so I'd appreciate it if you could possibly make it compatible without the SDK?

This really is a great idea and if I could get it to work I'd absolutely love it I'm sure. Thank you for your time.
