Working Direction Tapping Mod

Direction Tapping Mod

 

Description:

This mod alters player input handling in order to allow turning the player without moving by quick tapping the directional input keys.

 

Media:

 

Git Patch:

Download

 

Based On:

Version: 0.6.1.239

Commit: faedd06

 

Setup:

No extra setup steps required. Just install the patch and run. Try quickly (very quickly) tapping WASD or the arrow keys and your character should turn without moving to a new tile.

 

Notes:

The logic isn't perfect. You gotta tap so fast that you often move to another tile by accident. I didn't want the delay, however, to make movement feel too clunky. There's definitely room for improvement and I invite others to expand on this and create a better implementation!

There is a bug with this that I'll try to fix later tonight:

Great for satisfying a higher player skill in combat! Thank you!

So the code for the mod is solid.. but our input handling code in the base engine itself need a small tweak. I've created a PR, and once merged the bug above will be fixed:

Possibly instead of double pressing a direction hold down a button eg ctrl and then pressing directions turns on the spot.

Could feel smoother.

Would definitely be a lot better. I don't particularly want to dive into adding additional controls but I welcome others to expand on this patch :).

Working great. I did up the time just a tad to 90ms. Felt too sensitive on my keyboard. Thank you sir!

 

@Celtos Maybe you need to up the time a bit as well?  MoveDirectionTimers = Globals.System.GetTimeMs() + 60

I don't even think this function because I couldn't insert it in my code ...
Gives this error when importing

Have you searched the code to see if it is there? Ctrl+f 

[Guest]

I can't get this to work since upgrading to the most recent build =/. Used to work back on 6.1.xx
