More Move Routes

LINKS BROKEN

Introduction
These are a collection of custom move routes I made. I'm sure the move routes I worked on for this script are going to range from "cool", to "quirky", and probably to "Was this really necessary?" I hope these calls provide something someone was looking for.

Features
I couldn't come up with a decent list even if I tried. But I will say that some of the calls listed in the Script Calls section of my header lists several calls which should be able to streamline the move routes.

Instructions
All 120 of these script calls are listed in the header.

Thanks
[user=IceDragon] for helping out on my for_loop script call.
[user=Knightmare] for suggesting Jumps which gave me 26 more ideas for custom move routes based on jumping.

Oh man this script brings back memories; from Sandgolemn's scripted move routes, to the old days before I knew how to script and had this one issue...

Lets hear your life story, Kain...

One day long long ago I was trying to get these events that would go left or right to block the player in, but I was doing it in a stupid way. I think it involved blocking the player and the event with invisible tiles that wouldn't allow them to cross a line or something...

The point was I was an RM noob that wanted the event to always match the player's horizontal position, but now you can do that with your script ;D

That was like six years ago now, so I'm sure I'd figure a different way with or without a script like this, but this sounds like a good alternative so kudos on creating this :D

Oh yeah, and I have some ideas that come from sandgolemn's (as far as I remember) plus a couple I just thought up, I'll go ahead and post those before I run off to bed.

Random Ideas

.move_open(column = 0) # open animation of a door/chest
.move_shut(column = 0) # shut animation of a door/chest
.spin(counterclockwise = false) # make the character spin

I'm not sure if these were in, they're sort of like move to/move away commands but with a little change in pace.

.approach(event_id, range) # approach an event at a running speed but slows down once close
.retreat(event_id, range) # runs away from an event and slows down after a certain distance

These three sound like they would be fun to use together, just imagine a ghost fading in and out and teleporting to random points on the map.

.fade_in(frames, opacity = 255) # Character fades in from 0 to a variable amount of opacity.
.fade_out(frames, opacity = 0) # Character fades out from 255 to a variable amount of opacity.
.rand_teleport(range_x, range_y = range_x) # Character teleports to a random location within a certain range (0, 0 means anywhere, 5 or 5, 5 means within 5x5 tiles.)

Happy scripting man and good job with this, I'll probably be using it! :D

When you said about this in the IRC, for some reason I couldn't understand what you meant by move routes.
But I should have known it was this obvious.

It's good script.
You do not know how this script enhances the combat system which is XAS.
