Paper Mario Movement Plugin - RPG Maker MZ/MV
Demo video:
Plugin details:
- Adds a flip animation when turning left, right, up, or down, similar to Paper Mario.
- Flip speed can be changed from the parameters, as well as whether or not it also flips when changing directions in the Y axis.
- When using this plugin, all events and characters will only be using the down and up facing rows of a sprite sheet, so make sure to structure your sprite sheets accordingly. It is possible to disable the paper mario movement for certain events and revert back to being able to use the left and right facing rows of a sprite sheet, by adding the comment command 'Disable Paper Mario Movement'.

This good sir, was a god-send for my project. Thanks for your hard work!
This is a really good plugin in general! It adds a lot of style (and saves me time on drawing walkarounds, hehe)
I found a small bug in the MV version, at least. I tried it with all the other plugins turned off, but it wasn't a totally sanitized project so it's possible it may have just been on my end.
Bug behavior was, if you just started a new game and the flag for flipping on Y movement is off, moving left and right has no flipping effect until a vertical direction is pressed, at which point the flipping works from that point onward.
After rummaging around in the code I thiiiink (I know almost nothing about code, so sorry if this is inaccurate) this is due to the prevVerticalDirection variable throwing off a calculation when it is in an uninitialized or unpopulated state; I'm not sure what the default behavior of that is like in MV. If I had to make a shot in the dark, I thiiiink it might be line 170 not digesting properly, but am not able to determine that.
I resolved the issue by adding the following as line 81:
"this._prevVerticalDirection = 2;"
Which initializes prevVerticalDirection with usable input, and with that in place the horizontal sprite flipping functions as expected right off the bat. I tried it equal to 1 first and the problem persisted, which is why I think its uninitialized state is throwing off a calculation somewhere, but again, pure fancy on my end.
If no one else encounters this problem, I guess it's just me, but if anyone else does, that might patch it up. Oh, and the script version I am using is V 1.0 (initial release).
Anyway anyway, thank you for making this plugin and for all the others too! I've been buying all the ones I can and I'm super wowed by the functionality, will be keeping an eye on stuff as it comes out! ^^
Would it be possible to implement compatibility with the MZ3D plugin by CutieVirus?
I'll look into it when I have the time.
Seriously impressed with your plug-in collection. Kinda hate that itch.io's search engine made it so hard to find you! Keep up the great work. :3
