Count forced steps

[Szibes]

The engine counts how many steps player has taken, but I noticed that steps taken by player with "set move route" are not counted, is there a way to change that?

Context:
I was trying to make an event that checks the distance between itself and nearest impassable objects in a straight line. I tried to do that by setting variable-a=steps, setting player move route with "skip if cannot move" enabled, setting variable-b=steps and the subtracting a from b. Then I checked variables with messages and noticed what I mentioned above.

I've moved this thread to RGSS3 Script Requests. Thank you.

You can do a constant verification with a parallel process:

@>Conditional Branch: Script: !$game_player.moving?
    @>Comment: Player is not moving
    @>
 :  Branch End
@>

Command:
Is Moving -----> $game_player.moving?
Stoped -----> !$game_player.moving?

It's possible to do only with events, but the event gets big unnecessarily.

class Game_Character < Game_CharacterBase
  alias r2_move_route_update_step   process_move_command
  def process_move_command(command)
    r2_move_route_update_step(command)
    case command.code
    when ROUTE_MOVE_DOWN;         $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_LEFT;         $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_RIGHT;        $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_UP;           $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_LOWER_L;      $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_LOWER_R;      $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_UPPER_L;      $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_UPPER_R;      $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_RANDOM;       $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_TOWARD;       $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_AWAY;         $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_FORWARD;      $game_party.increase_steps
    when ROUTE_MOVE_BACKWARD;     $game_party.increase_steps
    end
  end
end

I think problem was solved, Roninator's solutions worked as intended, thanks.

This code should avoid making too many checks only to let you increase the party's steps. Let's say it's an optimization of ronin's.

class Game_Character
  alias r2_move_route_update_step   process_move_command
  def process_move_command(command)
    r2_move_route_update_step(command)
    range = ROUTE_MOVE_DOWN..ROUTE_MOVE_BACKWARD
    $game_party.increase_steps if range.include?(command.code)
  end
end

By the way, you don't need to redefine nor redeclare the superclass of an existing class, @Roninator2

@kyonides I guess it depends on what you are defining. In my experience, it always gave me an error for mismatched class.

But that is definitely a good short form for my code
