I am currently working on a 2D RPG with DarkBASIC. I want it to be like Chrono Trigger, my all time favorite game. I know how to use a gamepad with DB, but now I need to make it where whenever I move my character and hold in the B button, he runs. If anyone knows how to do this, please tell me. I'd appreciate it. And if anyone wanted to help me with my RPG, that'd be cool.

I dont quite understand the question, do you mean run as in move? or run as in animate?

can't help you with motion on the gamepad

but if it's animation you want try this snippet:


FOR i=1 to 7
GET IMAGE i,(i-1)*88,0,i*88,150
NEXT i

do
INC frame
IF frame > 7 THEN frame = 1
ENDIF

SPRITE 1,0,0,frame
loop


for this to work, you need a picture 88 things long, and 6 frames of animation

I think he means run, as in make the character go faster (which would also need an animation as well )

So you could say

While upkey()=1
your movement code
if (b)>0
make your objects speed greater
endif
enwhile

Yeah, those of you who play RPGs probably know that whenever you hold in a button it makes your character run (as in move faster). So would this be right?:

while joystick firebutton b()=1
---------
if(b)>0
make your objects speed greater
endif
enwhile

Sorry, I'm pretty new at DarkBASIC, and I don't really know too much. Could someone maybe tell me how to make a 2D matrix, too?

I also don't know how to make these "animations". Thanks
