Way to modify party speed ?

[cromcrom]

Hello there my friends

While waiting for the next Glögg coding cession (that I hopefully won't miss because of being at work ), and requesting a get/set party speed modifier, are you people aware of a way to freeze the party in place (not mentionning the paralysis condition, I justwant to prevent the party from moving). If you know a way to change the speed, I am interested, too ^^

Thanks in advance.

Maybe try this with counter which increases it's value via onMove party hook ? Check with counter.value % 2 and move only if it's an even value.

Key to this seems to be if party.onMove is executer before or after actual move...

I'm not yet familiar with the differences in syntax for party hooks in LoG2, but in LoG1 we would put an onMove hook on the party, which connects to a counter. If the counter reads 0 then onMove returns false. Then it was just placing a pad to decrement the counter to 0, and a timer to increase it to 1 when ready to allow movement again.

I already have a quite complex exhaustion system. However, it only increases food consumption so far. I will try the return false for onMove hook, although I think it doesn't work. I will check this evening. Thanks for the tips anyways

used to be able to do it with the framework in LoG1

function freeze()


fw.setHook('party.test.onMove',
function(self,dir)
return false
end
)

end


function unfreeze()

fw.removeHook('party.test.onMove')

end


So something involving an onmove hook?

I check, "return false" works like a charm. It should be really easy to check some variables or function to return false, than have a delayed call or timer setting the return to true. I will try this, sounds fun.

Ok, I have it
