Walking speed based on steps Script

Me walk so me walk faster (sure why not)
Version: 1.4249284847182472894728947

Introduction? I am kathis what more can I say?

Ok, my script.  THIS SCRIPT IS MADE BY ME,
yes I took apart 1 point in the ideal making from the script "The Masked loser" his orignal script is from here
http://www.gamebaker.com/rmxp/scripts/map-rush.htm#
I just modified it so that you don't push anything but the speed is calculated by the steps you take.
if you asked for a screen shot I will seriously question your intelligent mind ...how can you take a still photo of something moving faster ?


Features

• you take a step every time you push left, right ,up , down
• your steps are caluated in a very long if statment
• if you reach the condition you walk faster...not much to say
• What I need anohter? fine the range of @speed can be from -9999999999 (defintly not suggested very very very slow...as slow as a tree growing per step) to 999999999999 (again not suggested, hope you can see light move)

Screenshots

fine since you demand it again I'll give you a sccreen shot.

Spoiler for:

Demo

now your pushing it -_- FINE!!!.

you want it in a code tag? I thought spoiler was better? oh well

Instructions

uhh ok. copy script input it above the main script in the script data base, if you wish to mod it thats just as easy but please be intelligent when I explain how to because I really don't want to go through this over and over and over again.

  elsif $game_party.steps.between?(4600, 5099)
        @speed = 3.7

The red number is the starting range   It should be 1 number MORE then the pervious "blue" number the line above it.

The blue number is the End range, it should be 1 number below the next line red number.

The green number is the speed. it can be any range...I suggest greater than 0.9....

I don't suggest more than 4, since 4 is very quick like riding down cyclicals road on Pokemon. 5 is ridiculously quick and anything higher than that you'll be lucky to see your spirit in between the refreshes.

Compatibility

uhh ok.

System : Windows Xp  (windows 98 and visa haven't been tested)
Memory : 128 mb
Hard drive space: 2 mb (demo)
Processor: at least 100 mb I would reckon
Program: Rpg maker XP

Author's Notes

Why is my template all crasy, because I can and its just as funny. there are notes to worry about.

most long games have a more steps therefore you might want to increase the numbers.  speed of 4 is very quick and anything higher than 5 is ridiculously fast and shouldn't be part of the game. IF you wish to mess with the distance your character does you can edit a line in game_character2  where the calculation is done.

Game_character2 > line 81  "    distance = 2 ** @move_speed "

change 2 to something lower if you wish it to be slower, higher for farther distance. However do not again changing that number 1 is ridiculously slow and changing it to 3 is can be pretty quick.

That should cover it. mwahaa you never stopped my random crasyness.

Mr.Kathis why in your demo do you have an npc that can make you walk faster, I noticed that it can increase our step count but when I tried to do this in mine it didn't work how come?
Because I didn't want to give that information out its for my game that I am making it makes my game unique...me knows it he helped me developed that...well understand how to...intelligent scripters would know...you intelligent people that know don't reveal it's secret... >.> it must be locked in a chest with the key in that chest.....yes keep it a secret and use it in your own game but the knowledge must be locked until my project is completed. once again mwahahaha.

I showed "me" my script and he made me cry.. he started lechering me of how it can be shorter and still have the same effect ;-; see I am crying, anyway here is the abrevated version at least the first one you can see "whats happening" easier...

Oh oh oh there are additions I can include but I am not going to include them right now I have other things to do >.>

That's kind of cool. I was just about to post and tell you how to make it shorter. Are you sandgolem?

I can see a way to make it a bit shorter, but no less efficient so I'll hold my tongue. Anyway, nice job.

No, I think he said that he took one part of the script so, yeah. Nice script. I wish I could script good. Maybe I should take scripting lessons from MA, mua ha ha nah.

I only took this part...

        @move_speed = @speed
        @opacity = 0
        sandgolem_maprush_char_updmove
        @move_speed = @speed
       sandgolem_maprush_char_updmove
        @opacity = 255


I had issues when I didn't use the alias so I just left it it works,
"I can see a way to make it a bit shorter, but no less efficient so I'll hold my tongue. Anyway, nice job."

might as well get the most out of it, what is your view of how to make it shorter if its to remove the
@move_speed = @speed
sandgolem_maprush_char_updmove

part it won't increase the speed it will make you forever slow >.>

Yeah, he thought you were sand golem because of the aliasing. So, I guess I was right, MA.

very nicely done. Bravo

as I said I throw in some "additions" later like ether an animation for when you "level of speed" increases or even a sound effect but for now real life is kicking in again and I have turned 18 just this June, so its time to hunt for an apartment or something with a roof.

yeah, you do need the aliasing, you can change the name from sandgolem to something else though.

And no, my idea to make it shorter was to only use the elsif $game_party.steps.between?(XX, YY) to keep track of when you change the benchmark, and then mod on the benchmark

so kind of like:

Code: [Select]

if $game_party.steps.between? (0,99)
  benchmark = 10
elsif $game_party.steps.between? (100,1099)
  benchmark = 100
elsif $game_party.steps.between? (1100,6100)
  benchmark = 500
end

 if $game_party.steps % benchmark == 0
    @counter += 1
    @speed = 1.0 + 0.1*@counter
  end


Obviously, that wouldn't work as is because there would be a bunch of other stuff that needs to be done to make it work (including a good way to keep track of @counter and a failsafe, so tha they can't just stop moving at the benchmark and have their speed increase infinitely), but that is just a basic sketch.

In any case, the script looks good as it is, and so there is no need to continue revising it.

Though, it is a good idea to use this template when submitting a script:

http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,9045.0.html

I am aware of the template -_- but it reduces my crasyness very well I'll edit it *grumps on the way*

Tell me, what happens when you have taken exactly 6600 steps

Just for fun I made two other versions to show you commonly used styles

I like the first one better, lol. It seems smaller and easier to type up/keep track of what's going and won't be confusing to me.

I think I'd get sad if everyone was posting different versions of my scripts all over my topic  :'(

Anyway, I vote this gets a database move. Nice work kathis.

at  Zeriab nothing too odd, you just go faster at 4.1 speed... again this can go up to to any number you wish, HOWEVER 4 is very quick, and 5 has a lot of distance before the refresh.


at modern algebra, I really don't care if there are different version posted. It helps me learn different ways of doing the same bloody thing,  "But a lot of code causes lag"  ya only because if there is a lot it takes the same amount of time to read it. thats the only reason. for lag in a script...by the way as I can see I had fun with my "template" MWAHAHAHA

In your script you will not go faster at 4.1 speed. You will most likely go at 4 speed.
You see, 'elsif $game_party.steps > 6600' checks if more than 6600 steps has been taken.
I.e. 6600 simply falls out. It is the only value which will not set the speed to anything.
Considering that you most likely had taken 6599 steps before the speed will be what is in that branch.

The amount of code written is relatively irrelevant. It's how much code is process which is interesting.
The speed of the scripts posted is about the same and is in any case too little to be significant.
If-branches are checked very fast.

I once tested how much code it will take to feel any difference, where most of the code simply just was loaded in an never used.
It was first with about 500 000 lines I could feel any difference, and it was really only slower at start-up. Otherwise the speed was about the same.
Another prize was ram usage. It takes more ram. I am pretty sure how much RAM it takes differs, in my case it was 30 MB extra. (From 20 to 50 MB ram used)

The point here is that you under most circumstances don't have to care about how much code you write.
It's way more important how fast it will be process.

I don't know about this script... It's cool, it really is, but I don't want to start off like a turtle!! Can I just take away the first few lines of the "speeding progress" part of the script? Heck, I'll try it.

The slow speed was to show that yes you have the power to walk that slow >_> I am sure if someone wanted to they could modify it that you have a normal speed, which would be in between them all and your running speed would only be after so many steps and pushing a key, as for moving slower would be another key and the turtle speed.
