Fast travel skill

[SeikoAllure]

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to make a character have a skill to fast travel. Also, if you know how to gain a skill after beating a boss, that would be nice to know too! Thank you.

You could have the skill call up a common event which just had the script call which varies the speed.  The script call is:


$game_player.move_speed = x


where x is the speed you want.  Default speed is 4 and dash is 5.




Your problem here is that once activated, it would continue for ever, so I suggest doing this with Show Choices in the common event.  Something like  "Do you want to fast travel?"


When 'Yes' have the script call with the higher number, when 'No' have the script call with the lower number.


As for gaining a skill after defeating a boss, I assume this is an evented battle.  After the battle, use the 'Change Skills' command on the right side of the first tab in the Event Command Menu.  Pick the actor who is to gain the skill, select 'Learn', select the skill.


We urge people to have one question per thread.  That is partly to avoid confusion when people are not quite sure which question is being replied to, but also because in the future someone else might have the same query, but wouldn't know from the title of this thread that it also dealt with gaining skills.  So in future, please keep to one question, one thread.


Thanks.

If by "fast travel" you mean "to increase your party movement speed on the map" then the answer is what ksjp said. If by "fast travel" you mean something like "I use the skill and I get transported to a selected location instantly" than you have to create a common event for your skill and to handle various different choices with each choice transfering the player to the selected location.

Not movement speed, more like way point travel. Best example I can give is like pokemon. When u use a pokemons fly move u can tavel to another location. I want to figure out how to do that in my game.

@SeikoAllure Please do not quote whole posts simply to indicate who you are replying to.  It makes loading the screen a lot slower and also slows down page scrolling, especially for those accessing this on their phones.  If you want to make it clear who you are answering, just use the @membersname as I have done in this post.


What you are describing seems to be simply an ordinary transfer event which will take you from where you are to where you want to be with nothing in between.


When I do these I usually do it with the 'Show Choices' command, giving the player the option of going where they want.  Again set the skill to call a common event.  In that CE have your choices list the various places that they could go to.  For each of the choices, do a player transfer from the second tab of the Event Command Menu.  If there are more than 4 possibilities, either you use a script to expand the number of choices, or you make the 4th one something like "More", with that calling up another set of 4 choices.


I see that you are a new member.  I strongly recommend that you have a look at Andar's compilation of info for new users. Spending a bit of time with this now will save you a huge amount of time and frustration in the long term.
