Simple Dashing
Version: 1.0
Version: 1.0
Introduction
This script merely adds the ability to increase the player's speed by one notch while keeping the speed-dash key depressed.
Features
- Define which maps may not permit dashing in a simple hash array
- Be able to use a script call to turn dashing off in general
- Run, Forest! Run!
Screenshots
No special graphics. No running graphics. It is merely a speed increase.
Demo
Too easy.
Script
Would you believe, I have TWO versions? I made one for those who use the RMXP SDK.

# Introduction:
# =============
#
# This script merely adds the ability to increase the player's speed by one
# notch while keeping the speed-dash key depressed.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Usage:
# ======
#
# You can list maps within the Dashing module that disable the dash movement
# system. Or you can use the '$game_system.disable_dash = true' script call
# to make it disabled on all maps until removed.
#
# You only need to fill the DISABLED hash array with maps that do not permit
# dashing. While the example contains a Map#3 entry setting disabled false,
# it is unnecessary.
#
# As a bonus, you can configure which key binding controls the dash function
# on the keyboard/gamepad.
#
# functions. The instance of this class is referenced by $game_map.

FAQ
Its basically the same mechanics used within the RPGMaker line from RPGMaker VXAce on up.
Compatibility
There are edits to two methods within the Game_Character class, though there are differences between which methods for the two scripts (regular/SDK).
