8 Direction movement compatible Player turn-in-place.

[HopeFragment]

What I mean by turn and move is, I need a script that will allow the player to be able to change direction before walking a step if they press the arrow key for just a small second, like in Pokemon. (Player only, not the caterpillar.) I know there are a lot of scripts that do this, but most of them don't work correctly for me because I'm using Hime's 8 Directional walking script, along with 8 directional sprites. (Well, I'm going to anyway, the diagonal sprites aren't finished yet, so currently I have the 8 direction sprites set to false.)

Anyway, I was using SirBilly's turn and move script for a long time and it worked perfectly, but when I added the 8 directional walking script, the script was no longer functioning. So I had to find one that was compatible with 8 directional movement. I came across FenixFyreX's player turn in place script. It works, except that for whatever reason, the player is allowed to turn in place even while talking to someone. I'd ask FenixFyreX themself if they could fix that bug, but the post is on the VXACE forums, which I can't post at all on or even view profiles even though I have an account there and I can't figure out why I can't.

So basically, I need either a fix for that script, or a new script altogether that is compatible with the 8 directional movement (and 8 directional sprites, which my game will eventually have). Either is fine with me.

For fenixfyre's script does the turning issue while talking occur without the movement script?

Just tried it, and yes, it still occurs without the movement script.

It doesn't check whether you can "move" or not.

return if !movable? || $game_map.interpreter.running?

Line 21 looks like this

  alias move_by_input_turn_in_place move_by_input  def move_by_input(*a,&    @press_dir_count ||= 0    return dir_by_input if turn_in_place?    @old_tapdir_direction = @direction    move_by_input_turn_in_place(*a,&  end

You should check this:

  alias move_by_input_turn_in_place move_by_input  def move_by_input(*a,&    return if !movable? || $game_map.interpreter.running? ###    @press_dir_count ||= 0    return dir_by_input if turn_in_place?    @old_tapdir_direction = @direction    move_by_input_turn_in_place(*a,&  end

That worked, thank you!
