Introduction

MovementEffects MotionTrail.gif

Movement in RPG Maker MZ can be kind of dull. There's next to no way of interacting with the map. This plugin adds various means of doing so to add more life to the environment. Dust Clouds can kick up when running around. Footprints can be left in the sand. Footsteps can be heard making different sounds based on the flooring. Added movement abilities like Smart Blink, Smart Jump, and Smart Rush allow players more fun traversal options. And to top it off, a smooth scrolling camera will ease in the screen to focus on the player character instead of being locked-on firmly. Motion blurs and motion trails are also made available to further emphasize movement.

Features include all (but not limited to) the following:

  • Dust Clouds can kick up off the ground whenever characters run, giving the player a better understanding of what's going on.
  • Dust Clouds can be customized, using images or generated with different colors. These settings can be altered mid-game as well.
  • Footprints can appear when stepping over specific tiles marked by declared terrain tags or regions. This can be used over imprintable terrain like dirt, sand, or snow.
  • Footprints can be modified in how they appear with custom images or with generated images. These modifications will be based on the sprite sheet frame used to generate them for accuracy.
  • Footstep sounds can be added to give player feedback whenever the player character or events move on the screen.
  • Apply different footstep sounds to different tiles on the map marked by either regions or terrain tags.
  • Footsteps coming from events can have a distance factor applied to them, making them sound softer the further away they are and playing on specific sides of a stereo speaker.
  • Motion Blur effects can be used to create more impactful scenes. Apply them to any character on the map screen be it the player character, followers, or events via Plugin Command!
  • Motion Trails can added to emphasize movement. These are also inherently a part of the new movement abilities.
  • Newly added movement abilities that pay attention to the terrain and any implemented restrictions. These abilities include Smart Blink, Smart Jump, and Smart Rush.
  • Directional Movement Speed Modifiers can be adjusted globally to make characters move faster or slower in certain directions. This can be used to create an illusion that it's harder to move against the wind in a storm than with.
  • Smart Blink is a new movement ability that can be activated via Plugin Command! The player teleports forward a set distance, ignoring any walls and/or obstacles in between unless restrictions prohibit the player from doing so.
  • Smart Jump is a new movement ability that can be activated via Plugin Command! The player jumps forward a distance as long as it does not interfere with obstacles. It can scale past pits and small gaps in height. Height maps can also be declared for some verticality on the map.
  • Smart Rush is a new movement ability that can be activated via Plugin Command! The player charges forward extremely fast, possibly colliding with events, and possibly creating new interactions with its switch toggling nature.
  • Smooth Camera is an added feature to smoothly adjust the camera as the player traverses across the game's maps. The scrolling speed goes slower or faster depending if the player is walking or dashing.
  • Plugin Commands allow you to adjust Smooth Camera settings midway through the game.
  • Map notetags can forcefully enable or disable Smooth Camera.
  • Players that find certain effects added through this plugin annoying (such as footprints, footsteps, smooth camera, etc) can have them turned off via the Options menu.

Requirements

This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker.

Required Plugin List

This plugin requires the above listed plugins to be installed inside your game's Plugin Manager list in order to work. You cannot start your game with this plugin enabled without the listed plugins.

  • Note* You can download the Pixi JS Filters plugin library from the below

URL or from the Action Sequence Impact product page. Install it as a Tier 0 plugin.

  • Note2* Pixi JS Filters perform differently on different machines/devices.

Please understand that this is outside of VisuStella's control.

URL: [1]


Tier 2

This plugin is a Tier 2 plugin. Place it under other plugins of lower tier value on your Plugin Manager list (ie: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

This is to ensure that your plugins will have the best compatibility with the rest of the VisuStella MZ Plugin library.


Notetags

RPG Maker MZ's editor is unable to allow for custom traits/properties that a game dev may wish to associate with a database object, event, map, etc. Notetags are used to work around such limitations by allowing the game dev to tag certain traits/properties using specific Notetags declared by the related plugin.

Here is a list of Notetag(s) that you may use.


The following are notetags that have been added through this plugin. These notetags will not work with your game if this plugin is OFF or not present.

<Smart Jump Height-Based Regions: x, x>
<Smart Jump Height-Based Regions: x, x, x>

- Used for: Map Notetags

  Smart Jump to interact with.
- Replace 'x' with a number (0 to 255) representing the region ID to use as
  a height marker.
  - Insert multiple numbers to mark more regions.
- Height-Based Region interactions work as follows:
  - Players can jump from a height-based region to another height-based
    region of the same or lower value as long as that region is listed, too.
    - Regions listed: 10, 13, 15.
    - ie. The player can jump from Region 15 to 15.
    - ie. The player can jump from Region 15 to 13.
    - ie. The player can jump from Region 15 to 10.
    - ie. The player CANNOT jump from Region 13 to 15.
    - ie. The player CANNOT jump from Region 10 to 13.
    - ie. The player CANNOT jump from Region 10 to 15.
  - The lowest value number in the list is considered a "ledge" and the
    lowest possible level.
  - Players can jump in and out of the lowest level regions into non-height
    marked regions.
  - If the player is jumping towards the up, left, right directions, they
    cannot jump directly into a "ledge" region unless they are adjacent to
    the marked tile. A distance greater than 1 tile apart cannot be and the
    jump will be cut short.
  - If the player is jumping upward towards a "ledge", the player will jump
    directly onto the next available tile.
  - If the player is jumping towards the left or right directions into a
    "ledge" region, the player will "fall" a tile distance equal to the
    difference from the region height they're jumping from.
    - Regions listed: 10, 13, 15.
    - If the player is on Region 15 and jumps into a ledge (10), the player
      will drop 5 tiles downward.
    - If the player is on Region 13 and jumps into a ledge (10), the player
      will drop 3 tiles downward.
  - If the player is jumping downward towards a "ledge", the player will
    jump the full distance.
  - Examples:
    - <Smart Jump Height-Based Regions: 10, 13, 15>
      - Region 10 will be considered the "ledge" region.

Keep in mind that despite the fact that there is Height-Based Region support
for Smart Jump, maps in RPG Maker MZ are still inherently 2D. Therefore, not
everything will look correct for every jump-related scenario involving
region heights. You may need to make adjustments to maps that work best for
the limited 2D nature of mapping in order to adhere to what Height-Based
Region support can handle.

Smart Blink Settings

MovementEffects SmartBlink.gif

MovementEffects Command4.png

Smart Blink is a Plugin Command launched action. The action will cause the player to teleport forward (up to) a measured distance, bypassing any obstacles and/or walls inbetween. If the Plugin Command is placed at the end of the event list, then the player is able to trigger any other events on the tile that the player has landed on.

Smart Blinking can be customized to not ignore all obstacles and/or walls. In fact, through clever usage of Regions and/or Terrain Tags, game devs can create areas that the player cannot teleport past (resulting in a barrier) or a place that players cannot land on top of (such as rooftops). These restrictions can be made on a global scale, on a map-basis, tileset-basis, or even by Plugin Command-basis.

The Plugin Command best works when paired with a plugin like VisuStella MZ's Button Common Events.

The Plugin Parameters below are the settings that are always static throughout all Smart Blinks.

---

Mechanics

 Allow Diagonal Blink?:
 - Allow diagonal Smart Blinking?
 - VS8 Sprites only.
 - Does NOT work with standard RTP.
 - This is disabled by default due to how much distance a diagonal
   Smart Blink is able to cover.
 Floor to Ceiling?:
 - Allow blinking from floor to ceiling tiles?

---

Visual

 Blur Duration:
 - Requires PixiJS Filters!
 - How long will the motion blur last?
 Blur Angle Offset:
 - Requires PixiJS Filters!
 - Offset the motion blur angle by this many degrees.
 - Otherwise, the motion blur angle is equal to the direction the player is
   facing while blinking.

---

Smart Jump Settings

MovementEffects SmartJump.gif

MovementEffects Command5.png

Smart Jump is a Plugin Command launched action. The action will cause the player to jump forward (up to) a measured distance, bypassing any obstacles and/or walls inbetween. If the Plugin Command is placed at the end of the event list, then the player is able to trigger any other events on the tile that the player has landed on.

Smart Jumping can be customized to not ignore all obstacles and/or walls. In fact, through clever usage of Regions and/or Terrain Tags, game devs can create areas that the player cannot jump past (resulting in a barrier) or a place that players cannot land on top of (such as rooftops). These restrictions can be made on a global scale, on a map-basis, tileset-basis, or even by Plugin Command-basis.

MovementEffects JumpHeightMap.png

Smart Jump also has height based interactions, allowing the player to jump from equal height "regions" to another, such as scaling a cliff. Players can also jump from higher regions to lower regions (as long as both are marked as Height-Based Regions).

Here are how Height-Based Regions interact:

(This is NOT based off the example map above)

  - Players can jump from a height-based region to another height-based
    region of the same or lower value as long as that region is listed, too.
    - Regions listed: 10, 13, 15.
    - ie. The player can jump from Region 15 to 15.
    - ie. The player can jump from Region 15 to 13.
    - ie. The player can jump from Region 15 to 10.
    - ie. The player CANNOT jump from Region 13 to 15.
    - ie. The player CANNOT jump from Region 10 to 13.
    - ie. The player CANNOT jump from Region 10 to 15.

  - The lowest value number in the list is considered a "ledge" and the
    lowest possible level.

  - Players can jump in and out of the lowest level regions into non-height
    marked regions.

  - If the player is jumping towards the up, left, right directions, they
    cannot jump directly into a "ledge" region unless they are adjacent to
    the marked tile. A distance greater than 1 tile apart cannot be and the
    jump will be cut short.

  - If the player is jumping upward towards a "ledge", the player will jump
    directly onto the next available tile.

  - If the player is jumping towards the left or right directions into a
    "ledge" region, the player will "fall" a tile distance equal to the
    difference from the region height they're jumping from.
    - Regions listed: 10, 13, 15.
    - If the player is on Region 15 and jumps into a ledge (10), the player
      will drop 5 tiles downward.
    - If the player is on Region 13 and jumps into a ledge (10), the player
      will drop 3 tiles downward.

  - If the player is jumping downward towards a "ledge", the player will
    jump the full distance.

Keep in mind that despite the fact that there is Height-Based Region support for Smart Jump, maps in RPG Maker MZ are still inherently 2D. Therefore, not everything will look correct for every jump-related scenario involving region heights. You may need to make adjustments to maps that work best for the limited 2D nature of mapping in order to adhere to what Height-Based Region support can handle.

The Plugin Command best works when paired with a plugin like VisuStella MZ's Button Common Events.

When Smart Jumping, the player cannot jump from a floor tile to a ceiling tiles (the top tiles of A4 tiles). The player also cannot jump over them to reach the other side of the ceiling tile onto a floor tile.

The Plugin Parameters below are the settings that are always static throughout all Smart Blinks.

Smart Rush Settings

MovementEffects SmartRush.gif

MovementEffects Command6.png

Smart Rush is a Plugin Command launched action. The action will cause the player to rush forward at faster (normally) than dash speed. If the Plugin Command is placed at the end of the event list, then the player is able to collide with other events, possibly triggering them.

While rushing forward, any switches listed in the Plugin Command will be turned to the ON position, then OFF position once the rushing is finished. This means that any events that the player collides with can have a unique interaction from being rushed into. Examples include making objects fall from trees, breaking down locked doors, or smashing apart rubble.

The Plugin Command best works when paired with a plugin like VisuStella MZ's Button Common Events.

When Smart Rushing into walls, solid objects, or events with a priority type as "Same As Characters", the screen can shake when crashing. This does not apply when crashing into water tiles.

The Plugin Parameters below are the settings that are always static throughout all Smart Rushes.

---

Mechanics
