TechSkylander1518 submitted a new resource:

Bounce as a field move - Let the player use Bounce to jump over obstacles!

View attachment 1754​

My quest for more overworld moves continues with bounce! This lets the player use Bounce to get the ability to jump over the tile directly in front of them! (Provided they can stand on the next tile, of course)


Using Bounce

I chose Alt for jumping, because it's near the space bar but isn't already used for anything else. If you want to change that, it's easy to just look in PSystem_Control and see what other keys are already...

TechSkylander1518 updated Bounce as a field move with a new update entry:

v20 Update

Much-needed overhaul with this update! No more complicated script changes or common events, just the option for plug-and-play or a minor edit in the base scripts! Jumping while surfing and jumping off bridges has also been added!

I really like the idea but it could be hard to work around as it could break a lot of puzzles.

I would like to use this. Is there a way to make it so you can't use it all the time. Like you can only use it in front of specially marked fences?

Although this is quite old by now and I haven't seen Tech around in a while - it can work with v21 by changing the expected input key. However, there is a major bug that, when the player bounces from one edge of a connected map to the other, the player gets sent flying/floating over one direction with no control at all.

It's likely that this behavior also exists in base Essentials, as i believe jumping forward one tile from a ledge replicates this in vanilla - when the ledge jumped from faces a connected map.

It can be prevented by using this inside the script, but I assume v22 might have fix for the ledge jumping at least already.

 nexttile = $map_factory.getFacingTile($game_player.direction, $game_player, 2)
    nextmap_id = nexttile[0]

    # Cancel jump if crossing map boundary
    return if nextmap_id != $game_map.map_id

    nextterrain = $map_factory.getTerrainTag(nexttile[0], nexttile[1], nexttile[2])
    cancelsurf = !nextterrain.can_surf
