Ganjika Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 How could I get my characters to be able to walk diagonally without having to alter the current 4x4 character sprite setup (like if they are walking up and to the left just having the upward facing sprite at work, etc).

Eevee204 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 If you plan to use 8 directional movement, you'd need a new sprite set with the new walking animations plus new paperdolls with the item look in each direction also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eevee204 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 > No you don't lol?Do you're trying to say that when you're walking in a diagonal direction, without needing to make a new spriteset, they will automatically magically create the diagonal movement themself?

blkcrow Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 No he doesnt need to make new spritesheets if he uses my tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eevee204 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 You need a new spritesheet with the new directions and paperdolls, what other way is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Just use the up and downward sprite direction for the new directions. No need to change the way it's handled unless you want it to look fancy. Although 8 directional movement looks like crap on tile based systems.
