Player Turning in Place before moving

[Crydsch]

Hello everybody,

ich need a way to let the player turn in place before he moves to another coordinate.
I think there is no other way than doing it via a Script ... and all i found were VX or VX ACE Scripts which didn´t work in XP

My problem is, that i work on a harvest moon like game and if youre on a big field it´s really anoying that the charakter runs to next coordinate, even if you just wantet to turn around!

Therefore I need a Script that does exactly this.


Some Example´s:
1. If the charakter is facing up and the Player just presses the right arrow-key -> then the charakter should only turn right rather than move to the next right field

2. If the charakter is facing up and the Player hold down the right arrow-key -> then the charakter should move to the next right field and so on (as normally)

If out there is someone, who can help me or found a similar Script. I would be really thankfull...

In hope,

Crydsch

I've found this:

Worth a look-see anyways.

That script is for Ace, and he wants XP.

Thanks for your fast replies, but as ksjp17 said these dont work in XP....

I took SirBilly's script and converted it to XP.
