[Question] How to add 8-way moving in a game ?

[Narzew]

Welcome. How to add 8-way moving system in Pokemon Starter Kit (Pokemon Essentials) engine ?

[Riansky]

That would require alot of scripting. Usally you just don't come here, ask a question, and expect someone to do it for you. I recommend you to learn scripting then you should be able to do it

I know how to do in standard RMXP project, but I ask how to do this in PokeStarter.

Cogwheel's 8 Direction Script works with Essentials if modified. My old game Pokemon Mint had 8 Directional movement.

Here is what I use for 8-direction based movement for events:
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
class Game_Character
def move_random
case rand(8)
when 0
move_down(false)
when 1
move_lower_left
when 2
move_left(false)
when 3
move_lower_right
when 4
move_right(false)
when 5
move_upper_left
when 6
move_up(false)
when 7
move_upper_right
end
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def move_toward_player
sx = @x - $game_player.x
sy = @y - $game_player.y
if sx == 0 and sy == 0
return
end
abs_sx = sx.abs
abs_sy = sy.abs
if abs_sx == abs_sy
rand(2) == 0 ? abs_sx += 1 : abs_sy += 1
end
if abs_sx > abs_sy
if not moving? and sy != 0
sx > 0 ? sy > 0 ? move_upper_left : move_lower_left : sy > 0 ? move_upper_right : move_lower_right
return
end
sx > 0 ? move_left : move_right
if not moving? and sy != 0
sy > 0 ? move_up : move_down
end
else
if not moving? and sx != 0
sx > 0 ? sy > 0 ? move_upper_left : move_lower_left : sy > 0 ? move_upper_right : move_lower_right
return
end
sy > 0 ? move_up : move_down
if not moving? and sx != 0
sx > 0 ? move_left : move_right
end
end
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def move_away_from_player
sx = @x - $game_player.x
sy = @y - $game_player.y
if sx == 0 and sy == 0
return
end
abs_sx = sx.abs
abs_sy = sy.abs
if abs_sx == abs_sy
rand(2) == 0 ? abs_sx += 1 : abs_sy += 1
end
if abs_sx > abs_sy
if not moving? and sy != 0
sx > 0 ? sy > 0 ? move_lower_left : move_upper_left : sy > 0 ? move_lower_right : move_upper_right
return
end
sx > 0 ? move_right : move_left
if not moving? and sy != 0
sy > 0 ? move_down : move_up
end
else
if not moving? and sy != 0
sx > 0 ? sy > 0 ? move_lower_right : move_upper_right : sy > 0 ? move_lower_left : move_upper_left
return
end
sy > 0 ? move_down : move_up
if not moving? and sx != 0
sx > 0 ? move_right : move_left
end
end
end
end

Try this. You will have to tweak it a bit and the section 8a will take a little reading to replace. Also you will have to edit your sprites to work with the 8 directional movement. Hope this helps.
