RPG Maker MV gives us a lot of various commands to use for our Move Routes. However, it still imposes a lot of limitations on the system for what else could still be potentially useful for move route commands. This plugin will provide additional methods to construct move routes for your events and allow you to streamline the move route creation process.

Instructions – Simplified Movement Routes

If you want to make events move a certain way using the commands from this plugin, do the following:

1. Open the event you wish to move.
2. Make a Movement Route command or Automatic Custom Route.
3. Press “Script…”
4. Type in any of the desired following commands:

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
UP: x
LEFT: x
RIGHT: x
DOWN: x
UPPER LEFT: x
UPPER RIGHT: x
LOWER LEFT: x
LOWER RIGHT: x
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
This will make the designated event move the noted direction x amount of times. This is no different than inserting a direction multiple times with editor, but this is meant to serve as a way to consolidate commands.

Replace x with an integar value.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Example: Up: 10
Left: 7

The designated event will move to either the coordinates x, y, or event x on the map (if event x is present), or to the player’s location. The designated event will determine what is the best route within 12 iterations to reach the marked location. The designated event will keep repeating this command until it has reached the coordinates.

Replace x and y with integar values.

‘Move To’ and ‘Avoid Move To’ will make the designated event move around the player and the player’s followers when calculating a path to move to.

‘Crash Move To’ will allow collision with the player and/or followers.

And that’s it for the specialized movement routes you can use.

Notetags

These are some notetags you can utilize for your events.

Event Notetags:

<Always Update Movement>
– Most events don’t update unless they’re close to the screen. But any event with this notetag will always be updating regardless of whether they are close to the screen or not.

Lunatic Mode – Script Calls

For those with JavaScript experience and would like to use the raw command functions without resorting to the simplified commands, you can use the following code inside of a Script:

this.jumpForward(x)
– Replace x with the amount of tiles you want the designated event to jump forward. x will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value.

this.jumpToPoint(x, y)
– Replace x and y with the coordinates you wish for the designated event to jump towards. x and y will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value.

this.jumpToEvent(x)
– Replace x with the ID of the event you wish for the designated event to jump towards. x will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value. If 0 is used, it will refer to the player.

this.moveRepeat(direction, times)
– This will make the designated event move in ‘direction’ a certain amount of ‘times’. Replace ‘direction’ with the number value you wish the event to move in (refer to NumPad) and replace ‘times’ with the number of times to step in that direction.

this.moveToPoint(x, y)
– This will calculate the best possible movement route for the designated event to reach coordinates x, y within 12 iterations. The designated event will keep repeating this command until it has reached the coordinates. This will cause the designated event to go around the player and followers on the map without colliding into them.

this.moveToPoint(x, y, true)
– This will calculate the best possible movement route for the designated event to reach coordinates x, y within 12 iterations. The designated event will keep repeating this command until it has reached the coordinates. This will cause the designated event to crash into the player and/or any followers if they are in the path way.

this.moveToEvent(x)
– This will calculate the best possible movement route for the designated event to reach event x within 12 iterations. The designated event will keep repeating this command until it has reached the coordinates. If 0 is used, it will refer to the player. This will cause the designated event to go around the player and followers on the map without colliding into them.

this.moveToEvent(x, true)
– This will calculate the best possible movement route for the designated event to reach event x within 12 iterations. The designated event will keep repeating this command until it has reached the coordinates. If 0 is used, it will refer to the player. This will cause the designated event to crash into the player and/or any followers if they are in the path way.

this.requestAnimation(x)
– Replace x with the animation ID you want to play on the designated event. x will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value.

this.requestBalloon(x)
– Replace x with the balloon ID you want to play on the designated event. x will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value.

this.stepAwayFromPoint(x, y)
– Replace x and y with the coordinates you wish for the designated event to step away from. x and y will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value.

this.stepAwayFromEvent(x)
– Replace x with the ID of the event you wish for the designated event to step away from. x will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value. If 0 is used, it will refer to the player.

this.stepTowardPoint(x, y)
– Replace x and y with the coordinates you wish for the designated event to step towards. x and y will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value.

this.stepTowardEvent(x)
– Replace x with the ID of the event you wish for the designated event to step towards. x will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value. If 0 is used, it will refer to the player.

this.teleportToPoint(x, y)
– Replace x and y with the coordinates you wish for the designated event to teleport to. x and y will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value.

this.teleportToEvent(x)
– Replace x with the ID of the event you wish for the designated event to teleport to. x will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value. If 0 is used, it will refer to the player.

this.turnAwayFromPoint(x, y)
– Replace x and y with the coordinates you wish for the designated event to turn away from. x and y will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value.

this.turnAwayFromEvent(x)
– Replace x with the ID of the event you wish for the designated event to turn away from. x will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value. If 0 is used, it will refer to the player.

this.turnTowardPoint(x, y)
– Replace x and y with the coordinates you wish for the designated event to turn towards. x and y will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value.

this.turnTowardEvent(x)
– Replace x with the ID of the event you wish for the designated event to turn towards. x will be automatically rounded to the nearest integar value if it is a float value. If 0 is used, it will refer to the player.

Happy RPG Making!
