Player Stamina - how to tell when player is walking?

[kcgcrazy]

HI,
I was just wondering what script/scripts to look at to tell if the player is walking or not. I have a stamina system i want to implement where when the player is walking to decrease stamina by one and when stamina reaches 0, the player can no longer run. But the problem is, im not sure how to tell when the player is walking or not and i have tried looking through the scripts with no luck understanding where to look.
Help would be appreciated. Thank!

What you're looking to do is actually to add a little special something to a pre-existing event handler called Events.onStepTakenTransferPossible.
This is actually already done in Pokemon, just backwards. It's a Safari Zone thing. Instead of counting steps up, you're looking to count steps down.

I'd recommend taking a thorough look at the Safari Zone code, but I'll leave you with this snippet I copy-pasted out of there to give you an idea of how it's done. Obviously you still need to initialize all the variables and such:

Events.onStepTakenTransferPossible+=proc {|sender,e|
   handled=e[0]
   next if handled[0]
   if pbInSafari? && pbSafariState.decision==0 && SAFARISTEPS>0
     pbSafariState.steps-=1
     if pbSafariState.steps<=0
       Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("PA:  Ding-dong!\1")) 
       Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("PA:  Your safari game is over!"))
       pbSafariState.decision=1
       pbSafariState.pbGoToStart
       handled[0]=true
     end
   end

     end
   end

thanks i got it working, at least the first part :)

so this is checking if the player is moving, is there something that checks if the player is idle? so that when the player is idle the player then regains stamina?

Edit : nvm i figured it out. now the part is to disallow the player when stamina is 0. I've looked at "def pbCanRun?" but im not quite sure as to how it works

Edit 2: Thanks for the above help. i was able to figure everything else out :)
