################################
? IMPROVED MOVE COMMANDS ?

? SAFE JUMP:
Don't Jump if its destination is OUT OF THE SCREEN (or) NOT PASSABLE.
(Old jump will not check before jump)

? IMPROVED RANDOM MOVE
Find the movable direction before move.
(Old random move will just skip to move in that frame, if its destination is not passable.)

? IMPROVED COLLIDE_WITH_CHARACTERS CHECK
'Same as Characters' events are able to walk on other 'Below Characters' events.

? Note: If you don't want one of this improved command, just delete its part.
(I put all of their command name above their script part)

Instruction
You just need to place the script above main, for edited old commands.

For special/new commands,

Code: [Select]

? Open 'Move Route' window, (or event command 'Set Move Route')
Click 'Script...' and type the move command you want...

Very cool script worale.

Hella sweet script. I will make fine use of this!

Few questions/suggestions!
a) Regarding the safe-jump.. Given that I am, for example, jumping from x5,y13 to x5,y15, and the spot on x5,y14 is impassable, is there a way to disregard the jump that way?
b) Is it possible to bypass the safe-jump if the impassable spot is located on an event marked as "same as characters"?
