[4.5.9] Holding B to Run

[baardbi]

So I used this a little differently. I wanted the bats in Frontiers to charge the player. I added a check against the bats action step instead of the players button. The bat starts at 1/3 speed, dives, and then when he changes to the action step that I want him to charge in the speed boost takes over

So if you are designing a monster that needs a speed boost for an attack this might be your solution!

Cool. Looks really nice.

If you want to use a more precise speed run, you could replace the

LDA tempA
ASL     ;; double the speed
STA tempA

With:

LDA tempA
CLC
ADC #16 ;; you can use any value here from 00 to 255 to adjust the running speed
STA tempA

This works amazing! Thanks, Dale.

To speed up the animation speed as well as the movement speed you can modify the script doUpdateSpriteTimer.asm in ...\BASE_4_5\Game\Subroutines

At the beginning of doUpdateSpriteTimer.asm:

            DEC Object_animation_timer,x
           
            ;------------------------------------ Add this code block ------------------------------------------------
            ;; if holding B
            CPX player1_object
            BNE +skip   ;; if not the player object, we skip
                LDA gamepad
                AND #%00000010  ;; B button
                BEQ +skip
                    DEC Object_animation_timer,x
                    ;DEC Object_animation_timer,x  ;;; Uncomment this line to make the animation even faster.
            +skip:
            ;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           

            LDA Object_animation_timer,x
            BEQ endOfAnimTimer
            BMI endOfAnimTimer ; <------------------------------- Add this line ----------------------------------
                JMP animationTimerNotFinished
            endOfAnimTimer:

Good idea!

does this work on the ADV module

yes it should

Using this in the metrovania module & player has a shoot function. Everything working but when pressing b & direction it'll just slide. Need to figure out something like the release attack solution does to prevent that from happening with jump attacks.
