2k3 questions

[forgetaboutit]

There is a way to make 8 dir. and pixel movement on 2k3? I can make it on XP with scripts, but i want to make on 2k3. And i know there is a way to make a ring menu (Sword of Mana), but i want to know how. Someone knows?

Yeah, they're all possible, kinda.

8 way movement can be done if you have two parallel process events, one testing if the left and right keys are pushed, and then another one testing if the up down keys are pushed, then you need a third one with conidtional branches where if two dirrectional keys are pushed, you move in the right diagonal dirrection. The problem with this is that if you walk over a teleport event (or any other event) when moving diagonally, it won't process that you walked over it.

Pixal movement can be done a few ways, one would be just to use pictures as charasets, the problem with that is that pictures are displayed over everything except other pictures. Another way thats probably possible would be if you made a ton of charsets each of the same character, just shifted up a few pixals one one, down a few on another, left a few on another, down left on another, ect. Then use variables to determain the right one to show, and of course you would have to be consently changing the hero graphic every time you walk.

The ring menu is very doable. You just need to make a custom menu system, theres a lot of tutorials for those around.

Well if you make a cms, making it a ring menu wouldn't be too hard. Just instead of making a big column with the differant options, you make a ring, and instead of having a cursor go up and down the column, you rotate the ring (move the items in the ring to a new location.

If you know enough to make a basic cms, i can walk you through the ring part of it.

Thanks for replying to the OP Dragonblaze, I wanted to know the same thing. I sorta see what you mean as to how to make it, but I'm not fully understanding it. Do you think you can go a little more into discription as to how to do it? Or if theres a tut on how to do it a link to it would work too. Much appreciated~.

Edit: Oops. I'm refering to the moving in 8 directions part not the ring system part. =P Also I'm still trying to figure out a run system if someone could help me with that as well while we're on the topic, that'd be awesome.
