Slower speed, faster walk speed

[Kevvviiinnn]

I think this is quite simple. I'm trying to make it so that when the player climbs up a set of stairs, he is slowed down and moves up a few tiles. The problem is that I want to sustain (and perhaps speed up) his walking speed, and purely reducing speed reduces walking speed as well. Any help is appreciated, so...

Post away! :D

Go into Game_Character 1

Below class Game_Character, add

attr_accessor :move_speed

Now, to change the players move speed, use:

$game_player.move_speed = n

To change events move speed, use:

$game_map.events[event_id].move_speed = n

Whoops! What I meant by walk speed was the in-place walking animation speed. Sorry for being so unclear

I know I have done this for Kraft before...

If you don't use the SDK:

Insert this above Main, below Game_Character

class Game_Character
  attr_accessor :animation_change_count
  alias_method :seph_animationchangecounter_gmchr_init, :initialize
  def initialize
    @animation_change_count = 18
    seph_animationchangecounter_gmchr_init
  end
end

Then, go into Game_Character 2, find:

    if @anime_count > 18 - @move_speed * 2

Change to:

    if @anime_count > @animation_change_count - @move_speed * 2

If you use the SDK, place this below the SDK and above Main (Suggest above all other scripts because it overwrites a method).

SDK.log('Character Sprite Animation Frame Change', 'SephirothSpawn', 0.1, '2007-07-18')
SDK.overwrite_log(:Game_Character, :update_animation)
class Game_Character
  attr_accessor :animation_change_count
  alias_method :seph_animationchangecounter_gmchr_init, :initialize
  def initialize
    @animation_change_count = 18
    seph_animationchangecounter_gmchr_init
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update : Animation Counters
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update_animation
    # If animation count exceeds maximum value
    # * Maximum value is move speed * 1 taken from basic value 18
    if @anime_count > @animation_change_count - @move_speed * 2
      # If stop animation is OFF when stopping
      if not @step_anime and @stop_count > 0
        # Return to original pattern
        @pattern = @original_pattern
      # If stop animation is ON when moving
      else
        # Update pattern
        @pattern = (@pattern + 1) % 4
      end
      # Clear animation count
      @anime_count = 0
    end
  end
end

Instructions for both:

To change players animation counter :

$game_player.animation_change_count = n

To change events animation counter:

$game_map.events[event_id].animation_change_count = n

Just change n to a number. The smaller it is, the more the sprite proceeds in frames. The bigger it is, the long it takes.
