How do I make a "sprite" move in rpg maker xp Using Ruby.

Post by Levio91 »

Im trying to make a script that allows my "sprite" move like in ultima using ruby. (Like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVDpjFiEk0k)

Can you help me I want it to move left when I press left arrow right when I press right arrow etc. But I dont want it to glide I want my character to move like a chess piece. This is so I can make the enemys move once whenever the character moves once. Kind of turn based.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking...

I can give you some psuedo code for the logic behind 'movement' or animation...Are you referring to a side scroller, or top-down type thing?

I don't have any experiences with RPG maker, so I wouldn't be of any direct help. My apologies...

as I said before, you'd probably benefit better joining an RPG Maker forum, and reading documentation of the RPG Maker program. Maybe learning a little Ruby to assist you if you really need it. "I don't have time" is not an excuse for not learning it. If you want to make a game that's all it takes is time, stuff doesn't happen over night. :|
