Luyren's Cutscene Resource Pack

You either make an exception on the Player Control behavior to not do the slope slowdown while dashing, or create slopes as described in my Utility Pack.

How do you add dash to player control behavior? It keeps interfering with the jump/walk etc.

I did my best to make my own.

You can call the give control and remove control triggers for the Player Control behavior during your dash. As for the specifics of a dash-like motion, you are better off making a separate behavior for that, and making a new thread or ask on the discord server.

New tutorial video is up: How to use the Display Options behavior.
This behavior is used to configure option layouts, and the video also explain how to call them on your cutscene scripts.

Do you know when the kit gets reuploaded

You can ask stuff about my kit on its thread.
But answering it: I have no idea.

I've update this, along with the miscellaneous pack and RPG elements pack, with some new features, revamped documentation and compatibility updates with my upcoming AI and Combat Pack.

The documentation has been fully revamped, and it now features a table of contents with bookmarks, to better navigate through it. It's also a single documentation file containing everything for the behavior list, cutscene pack and RPG variation, instead of three separate files as previously. The documentation for the sample game also has the bookmarks feature.

The Events Manager and the free Simple Events Manager have been optimized to have improved timing between events. By setting the event's wait time to 0, events will advance and execute in the same update cycle, instead of the limit of one event per update cycle.

As for new features the Experience and Screen Message behavior now have new drawing options for centralized drawings and messages, as well as the option to use the screen center as the origin point.

I don't know if I mentioned this before or not, but it now has a new behavior with the compatibility blocks for the combat pack, so when it is released, you'll be able to simply copy and paste those blocks to make full use of the new pack's features.

As always, you can check it out in my itch.io page.

And as a sneak-peak of the combat pack, here's the kind of stuff you can do with it. I post progress gifs and images more frequently on my twitter and on Stencyl's discord server.

I've completely overhauled the Experience behavior from the RPG Elements pack and in the RPG Variation of the cutscene pack, as well as added more compatibility behaviors with my upcoming AI and Combat Resource pack. Equally important, I made a sample game in the RPG Elements itch.io page, in which you can see the rpg elements in action, and how they interact with each other.

For the free demo of the cutscene pack, I added a simple text display option, so now you have a free resource to display text in a simple way, and cutscenes can even wait until a text is dismissed before it proceeds.

​The ​Player Control ​behavior has been updated with analog support. Previously, a control bound to an analog input would just act as a regular key. Now, you have the following extra options.

-Analog Running Threshold: you can make your character automatically start running if the analog pressure is above the given threshold. This doesn't conflict with the run button, as you can use both at the same time: d-pad or keyboard + run button, or only the analog threshold. This can be disabled.
-Analog Adjustment: you can make the top speed change based on how far the analog is tilted. At full tilt, your actor uses the full speed. At mid tilt, it uses half, and so on. This can also be disabled.

You can use the ​Set Controls​ behavior included in this pack to setup your gamepad and analog sticks to your game's controls.

​​​​In recent weeks I've found out there were some memory mismanagement going on in my resource packs, and I just finished the work to fix that. This is more of a "better safe than sorry" fix, as the previous version worked just fine, and it would probably only be an issue in very rare cases.

For the cutscene pack, aside from the memory optimizations, the Set Controls behavior can now set arbitrary conditions for drawing menu information, and the ​Experience ​behavior, if using the RPG variation, can now use the "icon" style display even if an experience requirement progression is not fixed. The documentation also received update images.

​And most important of all, I've removed the ​Charge ​behavior from this pack. It was a bit out of place, and that behavior will now be part of my upcoming ​AI and Combat​ pack, where it makes more sense to be, and can properly be showcased.

As always, download the most recent version here

The tutorial series on this resource pack should resume soon.

​Hello everyone!
I've updated some events in the ​Events Manager ​behavior. Here's what's new:
-The ​Manage Behavior ​event now allows you to select either actor or scene behaviors when enabling/disabling them. Surprised I haven't thought of that until now.
-The ​Set Value ​event now can ​clear ​local or global values, as well as removing indexes or specific values from lists, or removing keys from map values. Clear is useful to completely reset values, and removing stuff from lists and maps can have several applications. Again, surprised I forgot about those.

The documentation has also been updated to reflect these changes. As always, you can get the most recent version of the pack in this link: https://luyren.itch.io/luyrens-cutscene-resource-pack

Small update:

The Player Control behavior has been update with a small fix. Previously, whenever the actor jumped, the code to stop the jump short would constantly execute as soon as you released the jump key. This could create conflict with your own code if you made some sort of upward movement after the actor already jumped. This fix prevents this issue.

You'll need to redownload the pack, remove the old one from your game and reimport the new version. If you don't want to remove the old pack from your game, the following image shows instructions on how to perform the update yourself:

• Create a hidden boolean attribute called "Stop Jump Complete";
• In the Updating event, set that boolean to "false" near the top of the event. It's in the "Otherwise" of the "If not On Ground" check.
• In the Updating event, on the if check for the "StopJump" trigger, add the "Not Stop Jump Complete" check.
• In the "StopJump" custom event, update it according to the image.

And that is the update. As always, you can get the most recent version here: https://luyren.itch.io/luyrens-cutscene-resource-pack

The Actor Aura and After Image behaviors have been updated with new features:

• Both behaviors now have a limit option that automatically deactivates an aura or after image. An aura can stay active for a certain amount of frames, and after images can be limited to an amount of images created.
• Auras now have the option to increase and decrease their scale and opacity in cycles.
• The Save Status behavior's default values now include new attributes from those two behaviors for saving the new information.
• Fixed a small bug in the Animation Frame Events behavior.

I've also made a new tutorial video covering only these new changes. For information on the other attributes and features of these behaviors, refer to the original miscellaneous pack tutorial video.

Small update here, same as in the msicellaneous pack:
-Player Control behavior now has support for multiple irregular semi-solid actors chained together. This should make it easier to setup your terrain.
-Fixed a bug in the Particles behavior where the initial angle of the particles wasn't being set.
-Color Swap behavior now has an option to turn off optimization. If the color swap is not being applied consistently through animation changes, turning off optimization will fix that.
