[RMMZ] How do I make a simple twinstick shooter?

Thanks a lot!

[RMMZ] How do I make a simple twinstick shooter?

So I'm working on my event game and it's a twinstick shooter where you face hordes of enemies coming in from the top of the screen like space invaders. However, I'm having trouble getting the various plugins I'm using to work. First I'm using two of Galv's MZ plugins, MapProtectilesMZ and EventSpawnerMZ.

For the controls, I want to use the arrow keys to control movement of your character while using the WSAD keys to determine which direction your shots will hit, which certain combinations hitting diagonally like W+D hitting northwest, D+S hitting southwest, ect, you get the idea.

But when I try to make a projectile, the instructions are not very clear on what I'm supposted to type. Originally, I had only one projectile that would shoot in the direction of the arrow keys, but that didn't work as the arrow keys are hard locked by the engine to make you move and I didn't want that. I then started making different projectiles for each of the 8 directions I wanted in the game, and that's when I discovered something.

For the "target ID" part, it was marked as "dX" in which "X" is supposed to be something called a "numpad direction." The plugin never clarifies what this "numpad direction" is supposed to be. Is it simply like "Up," "Down," ect? Does it include stuff like South East and North West, and if so, how are they worded? What if they aren't words and are merely numbers set to different directions? The plugin gives no info on that, and google gave me absolutely nothing. Before I just had "dX" straight, but that caused problems. What am I supposed to do?

Then for event spawner MZ plugin, I have the problem of events not actually spawning even though I have everything set up correctly. The spawn map is correctly selected with only two spannable enemies, neither which spawn correctly. Here is the script call I used: "Galv.SPAWN.event(1,'region',,'terrain',no);" What is the issue with this? Please help me. Thanks.

I fixed it at 5:32 PM GMT. 2 hours before your post would be at 3:49 PM GMT, which is before I fixed the glitch. The new version is v1.1.2, if you were wondering. I'm pretty sure I fixed the problem since I added back the files (which were automatically removed with auto export due to plugin shenanigans) and then zipped the files.

Edit: I just looked at the new version of the game. I seems to work perfectly on my end. Are you sure you got the latest version? I'll go check the downloads right now.

Crypt Challenge EX

The glitch you mentioned has been fixed. Enjoy the game!

Fuck Pride, here's some gay

I'm going to make a sequel to Honk Kong 97, often times cited as the worst game of all time, but this time with gay. New York 2023. Wish me luck!

Sorry, but I think I'll have to back out of this event. I put on too much work onto myself and there's no way I can finish the rest of my game in 10 hours and 5 days. Good fodder for my compilation game though.

Meteo Chronicles: Parts 01 - 03

Yeah, I should probably fix that. But that isn't exactly on the top of my to-do list right now. Definitely a change I'll be making in Definitive Edition, that's for sure.

Edit: I actually came up with that shop being one-time only long after I actually made the shop, maybe in the past week or so, as I realized selling stat-boosters this early is far too OP and breaks the balance of the game. So that's why it hasn't been done, as I don't plan on updating MC unless something game-breaking comes up until I decide to make definitive edition which will include all cut content from the MV version and feature refined mechanics like a more fleshed-out job system and a brand-new battle system. (the battle system isn't drastic enough to upset the balance though, so don't worry.)

Meteo Chronicles: Parts 01 - 03

Hello! Thanks for doing a let's play of my game! I really appreciate it. However, there are some things I need to let you know about the game before you continue.
1: SP is only gained from defeating enemies. Not by leveling up.
2: The "great shell" is called a great shell because it can drop from multiple enemies, not just the Nut Eaters. Also, from the Nut Eaters it's only a 1% drop chance. So not very likely. You just got very lucky with your drops.
3: You are overleveled. The only point in the game where you have to grind is Chapter 1 before the first dungeon. However, at that point you should only level up to Lv.5, not Lv.10 like you did. By the end of dungeon 1 you should be at Lv.12 which is the level of the boss. You can find out the general level your supposed to be at at that point in the game based on the enemy's levels. Here is a basic guide. Beginning of Dungeon 1: Lv.5 -> End of Dungeon 1: Lv.12 -> End of Dungeon 2: Lv.22 -> End of Dungeon 3: Lv.35 -> End of Dungeon 4: Lv.45 -> End of Dungeon 5 -> Lv.55 -> End of Dungeon 6 -> Lv.65 -> Beginning of Dungeon 7: Lv.70 -> Beginning of Final Dungeon: Lv.80 -> Final Boss: Lv.99. All endgame content expects you to be at least max level.
4: You can only buy stat ups from two places: a 1-time shop in Banna Woods and an endgame secret shop which requires you to complete a VERY long bonus dungeon and defeat a powerful superboss to gain access to.
5: The area you are about to enter is not the cave the soldier told you about. It's actually a "warp shrine" which allows you to easily travel long distances across the world map. The actual cave is to the left of the second town. Hope this helped! (even though I'm pretty sure you've already played past that point since you have 2 other pre-recorded parts.)
6: Most importantly, The version you are playing is HEAVILY broken and has many, MANY issues. Most if not all of those issues are fixed in the newest version 1.3.1 patch, which you can download and then easily transfer your save to. Most notably, a game-breaking event right before the final dungeon that softlocks the game along with multiple game-breaking bugs that crash or softlock the game.

Hi. Just checking the time.

14th RMN Birthday

My game will be called meme quest and will feature a "meme investigator" entering the meme dimension to contain 14 powerful "meme lords" who if left unchecked could invade and destroy all dimensions. On your quest you meet many strange allies from other universes like:
-Reeks, a bird war general from the bird civil war dimension where birds became the dominant species instead of humans and an endless civil war rages between Owls, Bats, Eagles, and Falcons has raged on and on since anyone could remember. Serves as your tank.
-Flopflop, a fish who wants to escape to Canada due to the political turmoil in his own country, but got captured by ICE and forced to serve them as a meme investigator. He comes from the fish dimension, a dimension where fish developed legs and conquered, enslaved, and killed all humans and become the dominant species in their ancient past. He serves as your healer and buffer.
-Gilbert: An old man from the Gamer Dimension where everyone is required by the state to become an epic gamer, and in doing so consume a massive amount of Mountain Dew and Doritos, constantly say slurs in MW2 lobbies, and constantly speak in numbers instead of words. Before the government takeover by gamers, he was a philosophy major and planned to become a position. He serves as your mage.
-Lie: A living, talking cake who's home is the living bakery dimension where due to a nuclear accident baked goods became alive and killed all humans in rebellion for always being eaten by them. He serves as your debuffer and can also use dark magic.

The 14 meme lords follow as such:
#1: Big Chungus
#2: Ugandan Knuckles
#3: Dr. Robotnik
#4: Phil Swift
#5: Arthur
#6: Longcat
#7: Shaggy Rogers
#8: Nyan Cat
#9: Barry Bee Benson
#10: Shrek
#11: Waluigi
#12: Robbie Rotten
#13: Pepe the Frog
#14: Obama

Enjoy!
