Jumping?

[bentheechidna]

Can you make it possible to jump and/or have your character ascend off the ground in RPG Maker?

yes - but limited, the jump is an event command and not under player control. It can be used to make map positions (like the edge of a cliff) forcing the player to jump over the edge to a different cliff in some distance.


Download and play the sample game crysalis - if I remember correctly, there are a few jump positions in those maps.

You could always set a common event to parallel proc, then you can make a Jump button. There's a bunch of ways you can setup the feature, but it depends on how you want it to work.

There is a further problem with jumping, irrespective of how you set it up.  If you have followers showing, they do not jump, but stay where they are and after the jump walk to where the leader of the party is.  This is an inherent problem with Ace, as explained in the Help file which says "Note that when a party for which the Player Followers setting is On is moved by jumping, the second and subsequent members will stay where they are."

There is, however, a solution.  Galv provided me with a snippet which causes followers to jump.  You can find it here if you are interested.  http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/15962-jump-command-doesnt-control-followers/
