Turning an 8 directions script on and off through a switch?

[seven]

I have Near's 8 way movement script, but there is a part in my game where I do not wish to move in 8 directions. Is it possible to have this work only if a certain switch is turned off? Here is the script:

#============================================================================
# VX Near Game_Player Edit Final Version
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#     Provides 8 Directional Movement to the Default Movement System.
#============================================================================
class Game_Player
  def move_by_input
    return unless movable?
    return if $game_map.interpreter.running?
    case Input.dir8
    when 1;  move_lower_left
    when 2;  move_down
    when 3;  move_lower_right
    when 4;  move_left
    when 6;  move_right
    when 7;  move_upper_left
    when 8;  move_up
    when 9;  move_upper_right
    end
  end
end

Thanks in advance! :smile:

Here you go:

#============================================================================
# VX Near Game_Player Edit Final Version
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#     Provides 8 Directional Movement to the Default Movement System.
#============================================================================
class Game_Player
  def move_by_input
    return unless movable?
    return if $game_map.interpreter.running?
    if $game_switches[1]
      case Input.dir8
      when 1;  move_lower_left
      when 2;  move_down
      when 3;  move_lower_right
      when 4;  move_left
      when 6;  move_right
      when 7;  move_upper_left
      when 8;  move_up
      when 9;  move_upper_right
      end
    else
      case Input.dir4
      when 2;  move_down
      when 4;  move_left
      when 6;  move_right
      when 8;  move_up
      end
    end
  end
end

Replace your old script with this one. And replace the number in $game_switches[1] with the id of the switch that you wish to have to turn ON/OFF the 8-directional movement.

Over and out - Gando

Thanks! I'll test this out in game and see if it works. :smile: And I won't forget to credit you, of course.
