RMXP - Check player facing direction

[Desbrina]

How do you go about checking what direction the player is currently facing?
Something like

If facing up
do item1
else if facing down
do item2
etc. etc.

Thanks

I think an option for that is in conditional branches.

there is, but i require this in a script format to use within an existing script

Try using $game_player.direction. The directions are as follows: 2 = down, 4 = left, 6 = right, and 8 = up.
