So I stuck this in the XAS default engine and it works like a charm as-is. But I want to change a few things.

First off, how do you disable the actor sound? nil, false, and flat out removal don't seem to work... Maybe I should keep the script from referring to a line that doesn't exist?

Second, how do you keep the actor from continuing to dash after changing screens? My guess is that it has something to do with the def setup(map_id), but I dunno XD

Third is probably something that I can do by myself, but how do you disable the default XAS button-press dash while keeping this one up?

Fourth thing I'm pretty sure I can do, and this is a lot already ^-^;
Thanks!

First off, how do you disable the actor sound? nil, false, and flat out removal don't seem to work... Maybe I should keep the script from referring to a line that doesn't exist?

1.) just edit this line of code:

Code:

DASH_SOUND = "V_Attack3"

to

Code:

DASH_SOUND = ""

Second, how do you keep the actor from continuing to dash after changing screens? My guess is that it has something to do with the def setup(map_id), but I dunno

2.)I will look into the dash/blurrr cancel after the map transfer (there's still a few updates to come in use with XAS such as states and more...

Third is probably something that I can do by myself, but how do you disable the default XAS button-press dash while keeping this one up?

3.)go into MISC scripts and edit

Code:

DASH_BUTTON = #Input::X

Fourth thing I'm pretty sure I can do, and this is a lot already ^-^;
Thanks!

what's #4?

4 is... Um... I don't remember XD

Was it the up-down thing? Maybe. Whatever.

Also, I tried changing the dash button to "" in the MISC script, but when the game started, it said

Code:

Script 'Yan Keyboard Input' line 151 ArgumentError occurred.

comparison of String with 30 failed

EDIT: Oh, right! Here's 5, which I also forgot:

When using Tap Run, running jumps take you as far as walking jumps. It's hilarious to watch, but not particularly useful. How do you extend the range? Or better yet, I'll just take a look at the clown thing to make midair movement controllable XD

@untitled - don't use "" ... instead use

Code:

DASH_BUTTON = #Input::X

will look into 2 and 5, and 4 once you are certain what it is :-P

who would of thought tap dash could be so complex?

^,^

minor updates:

+ Blur cancels when transferring maps

+ cannot tap dash during:
~forced move routes
~message window is open

newer script versions in the original post.

what am i doing wrong? I placed above main then ran the game and got this error.

Spoiler:

yo plush - try the 'RMXP version 2.2' in the original post. The other one is for XAS if you are using...

you can toss any older version of this script,
the new 3.0 is clean as a whistle +

instead of two versions, one for just RMXP and one for XAS, this latest version has a simple setting to indicate whether you are using XAS 3.9 or not

not only is there a disable switch, but there is a disable by tile switch, set the terrain tag in which you don't want your player to dash on, such as water, mud etc... and it will cancel the dash on that tile.

in the module you can adjust the blurrr effect by length of the trail, type of blur, and the opacity. (remember this script can make events blurrr too, looks great when enemies attack+)

removed a lot of redundant code, used proper indentation, and left better instructions even a noob could figure out.

if anyone really needs to see a demo,
copy the script from the original post ;-)

Please make awesome script work with older XaS

renaming "action_meter" to "move_meter" does the trick
maybe I can make a case for that and have a setting in the module for a later version

# TAP DASH & BLURRR v3.0a by G@MeF@Ce 1/29/2013 www.gameface101.com
# (edited for older versions of XAS)
# dash concept from the double tap to dash by Gamba ABS
# the "blurrr" from the trails script by Zues81
# xas by xiderowg, moghunter
#
# free to use, must give credit to all names above ^
#
# Instructions:
#
# Q: How to use?
#
# A: Copy and Paste above Main script in Script Database (F11)
#    then setup options in the module below.
#
# Q: How to make player dash and blurrr?
#
# A: Tap a direction twice to make the player dash and blurrr
#
# Q: How to make other events "blurrr" ?
#
# A: Open an event, find the ID on the top left
# X = Event ID number
# choose 'script' in event commants (3rd tab - bottom right option)
# to start event blurrr use =>  $game_map.events[X].blur = true
