Sideways Stairs

[Skraby]

So I'm trying to make stairs that go up from left to right and right to left, commonly referred to as "side stairs". I'm having troubles coming up with anything working on my own, and I can't find any tutorials for it, so I thought I'd ask here for help with this. I'd greatly prefer if the solution didn't involve code that made the player automatically walk up and down the stairs. I'd like it to work similarly to how it does in the Pokemon series of games, if that's at all possible...

(I have this for 8dir movement: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/altimit-pixel-movement-0-50β.85408/ )

Here's where I'm trying to implement it, but in the future, I'm gonna make stairs that also go the other direction:

You're going to need some form of slope movement plugin.

yeah, I've got this: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/altimit-pixel-movement-0-50β.85408/ I'll add it to the main post. in short, it allows for 8 direction pixel-based movement, but events still work on the original grid based system.

I have a plugin for this, but I'm not sure if it'll work with your setup...here's a link if you want to try it out: view/download file (Google Drive).

Alternatively you could use events, e.g. some Same As Player priority events like this (copied from RM2k3, but the principle is the same):

@> Conditional Branch: Player is facing Right
  @> Set Move Route: Player, Through ON, Move Upper Right, Through OFF
  @>
 : Else
  @> Conditional Branch: Player is facing Left
    @> Set Move Route: Player, Through ON, Move Bottom Left, Through OFF
    @>
   : Else
    @> Set Move Route: Player, Through ON, 1 Step Forward, Through OFF
    @>
   : Branch End
  @>
 : Branch End

I.e. check if the player is facing left/right/other and move accordingly. Takes a fair bit of time to catch all the cases, involves a lot of invisible events, and only works for the player, but it may suffice.
