RPG Maker Move Step

Exclusive to: Planet RPG, Rpg Revolution, PokeCommunity
Style: RPG Maker XP/VX
Tile_move: Yes
Pixel_move: No
because x is divided by tile_size so if you set it to 1 the tile_x or y variable will be the same as x. I recommend using just 2 instead of 1 as the tile_size variables have to be a dividend of 2 basically X or y need to be divided by something that equals a whole number.
​

How to use
tiles_to_move_x = x Change X to the number of tiles you want to move horizontally.
tiles_to_move_y = x Change X to the number of tiles you want to move vertically.

scr_move_step(direction)

There's an example already in the step event coding.

You can also use this for actual player movement, just remove the code block for, stop_cutscene_move = false

and replace it with

if (x = tile_x * tile_size_x and y = tile_y * tile_size_y) {
  if keyboard_check(vk_down) {
	scr_move_step(1);
  }
}

//Movement speed

// Tile Size
tile_size_x = 32;

// Tile X/Y
tile_x = x/tile_size_x;
tile_y = y/tile_size_y;
tile_x_old = xprevious/tile_size_x;
tile_y_old = yprevious/tile_size_y;

// Tiles to move x/y  set to 0 for creation
tiles_to_move_x = 0;
tiles_to_move_y = 0;

// destination tile x/y  use the coding in step event
dest_tile_x = tile_x_old + tiles_to_move_x;
dest_tile_y = tile_y_old + tiles_to_move_y;

// stop cut_scene movement, only use if your using scr_move_step without keyboard checks. Use an alarm for delays in 
// switching directions.
stop_cutscene_move = false;

// move
move_down = 1;
move_left = 2;
move_right = 3;
move_up = 4;

Step Event

Spoiler:

// Get the tile ID number  y/gridsize
if can_move = true or stop_cutscene_move = false { // checks to see if we're moving if not, x/y will not be added or subtracted from.
	if (tile_x * tile_size_x > x) { // checks if tile_x is greater than x
	x += move_speed; // moves your object to the right
  } else if (tile_x * tile_size_x < x) { // checks if tile_x is less than x
	x -= move_speed; // moves your object to the left
  }

  if (tile_y * tile_size_y > y) { // checks if tile_y is greater than y
	y += move_speed; // moves your object down
  } else if (tile_y * tile_size_y < y) { // checks if tile_y is less than y
	y -= move_speed; // moves your object up
  }

}

// Movement Code Block
if stop_cutscene_move = false { // set stop_cutscene to false when move_step has not been used
if (x = tile_x * tile_size_x and y = tile_y * tile_size_y) { // check to see if you're at the destination tile
	tiles_to_move_y = 1; // set how many tiles the NPC should move at a time (use random for a more NPC like movement)
	dest_tile_x = tile_x_old + tiles_to_move_x; // Make sure you're not walking past your destination tile
	dest_tile_y = tile_y_old + tiles_to_move_y; // Make sure you're not walking past your destination tile
	scr_move_step(1); // move_step script  scr_move_step(direction), 1=down, 2=left, 3=right, 4=up
	
}
}

// make sure an NPC doesn't walk past it's destination tile
if tiles_to_move_x >= 1
{
   if dest_tile_x = tile_x { stop_cutscene_move = true; }
}
if tiles_to_move_y >= 1
{
   if dest_tile_y == tile_y { stop_cutscene_move = true; }
}

// stop event at the right tile.
if (tile_x * tile_size_x = x and tile_y * tile_size_y = y) { // make sure we're not moving when we release our direction keyboard keys
  can_move = false; // set can_move to false when we're not moving
} 
else { can_move = true } // set can_move to true when we are moving

scr_move_step

Spoiler:

// Moves the character based on tile position in direction argument0 
	// This set of conditionals is strictly for Movement! 
   /* 
		move_up = 4 
		move_down = 1 
		move_left = 2 
		move_right = 3 
   */ 
	// example, scr_move_step(1,5) will move up 5 tiles. 
	if (move_up = argument0) { if (!place_meeting(tile_x *32, (tile_y - 1) * 32, obj_wall)) tile_y -= 1;  }  
	else if (move_down = argument0) { if (!place_meeting(tile_x * 32, (tile_y + 1) * 32, obj_wall)) tile_y += 1;  } 
	else if (move_left = argument0) { if (!place_meeting((tile_x - 1) * 32, tile_y * 32, obj_wall)) tile_x -= 1;   } 
	else if (move_right = argument0) { if (!place_meeting((tile_x + 1) * 32, tile_y * 32, obj_wall)) tile_x += 1; } 

// usage
// scr_move_step(argument0)  
// argument 0 is for direction

what is this for because i need it

In the title it says "[Game Maker] RMXP/VX ..."
