    I'm attempting to make a dashing system that revolves around the player's stamina, which I had represented by their SP stat; they can only run by pressing shift when their stamina is above a certain level, and their stamina increases when they stand still or walk normally. I had been trying to implement this through a long and complicated parallel process event system on my maps (if you're interested in seeing that, it's here, but it's not really relevant anymore), but I found that that caused issues with my idle animations -- neiljwd suggested a handy script called StandWalkRun by Synthesize/Night Runner. I was unable to find the original source on google, but this is the code that was provided to me:

    (Note: my search on Google showed that there is a version of this script for VX Ace, but I am using the RPG Maker XP version instead, as that's my engine!)

    This is definitely an interesting script that could work for me. My only real qualm about it is that I want the ability to run to be tied to this stamina stat that I want in my game... I could make the run points represent the stamina stat, but then I have no way of showing the player it, either on the start menu or on the game screen itself (which was why I'd turned SP into Stamina, cause at least then the player could check on their stamina during the game). So after fiddling with it a bit, these are my questions/quandaries with the script:

    The most important question: Is there any way to make a visible representation of this invisible run point stat, maybe by making SP equal to it? Is there a script for an RMXP HUD that could show this?

    Of lesser importance, but still something I'd love to be answered: Is there a way to restore run points only while walking/standing, not running? I want to make it so after standing or walking normally for x amount of time, your run points fully restore -- I changed line 77 to $game_player.run_points += 100 if @wait_time2 == StandWalkRun::Run_points_restore and tried testing that out, but then it's like I never run out of run points, since I guess they restore while you're running too. If not, then I guess I can just turn off the restore run points by walking and make it so that you can only regain stamina by finding and ingesting energy drinks...

    New to scripts so I can't answer your questions. I'm just thinking that it sounds similar to the "Lightfoot" skill in the MMORPG "9Dragons".

    That used the same stamina bar for combat skills and running. So you separated them instead?

    When you post code, put it in code tags so the formatting is preserved.


    Also, close, but still the wrong forum ;) I'll move it for you. Next time your thread gets locked and you want to revive it, just report the post and ask mods to reopen it. We're happy to do it. In this case though, you were specifically talking about an evented system, and since you've now changed to a script, we'll leave them separate.

    One of these days I will learn the appropriate forums, oof. xD Sorry for all the hassle, thank you for moving it for me, Shaz! And ah, I never saw the code button -- fixed it in the first post!

    Cadh20000: I am not familiar with the Lightfoot skill, I'll have to check 9Dragons out and see! My game actually doesn't include combat, it's more of a survivalist horror kind of game than a fighting kind of RPG

    Checking it out might be difficult. It is fairly old, and the company that originally hosted the English translation (Acclaim) no longer hosts any games. Some other company hosted it for a while, but I don't know if they still do.

    This video(very poor quality by the way) shows normal movement and Lightfoot so you can compare if you are curious though:

    Thank you, that was interesting to watch! I'm not totally sure how capable I am of doing something like that myself, but it was worth checking out!

    Also, while playtesting my game, I noticed a bug in this script... While using this script, any events that involve the player's speed changing don't take effect. If I need to have my player slow down to a speed of 2, the player remains at a speed of 4 because this script says that as long as the player's walking, their speed is 4. Any thoughts on how to workaround this?
