Hey guys, I've been brushing up on my ruby/rgss and have been working on some new platforming scripts (yes pural) and came across a code snippet that shogun3 had shared a few years ago
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

then I recalled spritezilla requesting a starter kit for RXMP to make games like double dragon, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
well with this script it is so possible using XAS3.91 you could make a ninja turtle game ^,^

It's just a start towards my new adventures in RGSS as I have been forcing myself to learn, I still script like a baby, but I'm starting to walk alone (can't wait until I start running with it)

demo later, first version of script for now +

Instructions:

simply place above script "XAS - Movement 1"

Code:

~there's 1 or 2 more features to be added then complete ++

Good job Gameface! I am glad my little snippet is still useful, I am actually still using that to implement the b.u.s movement in my game, but I might have to switch to your script
What are the missing features that you will include in this script?

last I left off with this was having an option to set the players starting face direction by variable and to have the diagonal poses match with movements if diagonal is true, I could fuse it with some Gplat to include pixel movement and jump. This with XAS reminds me of some classics; renegade, river city ransom, double dragon, ninja turtles, golden axe ^,^
