Is diagonal movement possible?

[Chomposaur]

Anyone how to do something like the mother series with being able to move diagonally?

[Mystix]

Yes, but you'd probably have to use a script to do it.

[Kio Kurashi]

Not probably. Definitly. Unless you know how to change the game's default system which ofcorse is still a script.

[Chomposaur]

Guess no one knows any scripts for it?

[Tired Dad Games]

I know there is an 8-point movement script out there, but I can't remember what it was called. But I do know it exists!

There's a few scripts out there that can add diagonal movement. It's just a matter of searching to find the one you like and things works good with your project.
For my current project, I'm using Victor's Diagonal Movement script from here:
http://victorscripts.wordpress.com/rpg-maker-vx-ace/utility-scripts/diagonal-movement/
For most of his scripts, you'll also need to use his Victor-Engine-Basic-Module script:
http://victorscripts.wordpress.com/rpg-maker-vx-ace/basic-scripts/basic-module/
and place it above other Victor script you may use in your project.

Some scripts can also enable 8 directions sprites instead of just 4 directions, if one would want that as well.

I Evented my own 8dir movement^^^its possible, but script is maybe easier.

I'd assume that scripts are easier in this case, you don't have the need to event such a thing on every map with i.e the script Zoddiak posted. It's plug and play.

[Chomposaur]

Thanks for all the replies everyone

[Hajami]

i had a common event that worked on all maps^^ i like common events.1 for All.

I think Victor is a genious. I've downloaded all his scripts and am using (well, experimenting with) already half a dozen of them.

Maybe it was a case of there being deathtraps to the north, south, east, and west.
