I'm very much happy to see the emergence of this topic.
To bless this newest thread I have a report to do just now.

Currently the buttons lack about these essential properties :

A) readonly bool Button.Animating
B) int Button.Frame
C) int Button.Loop

Okay CW, it's all working like a charm !!!
I really much appreciate for your help, really.

Now the file.tra can translate String inside an array as well.
I only had to change :

Code: ags

LabelMsg1.Say(String.Format("%s", MessageToSay[0])); 

to this : (by always keeping the translation in the file text)

Code: ags

String translated_message = GetTranslation(MessageToSay[0]);
LabelMsg1.Say(String.Format("%s", translated_message)); 

Both of the way I run the game (English or not) the String get read just properly fine.

Anyhow, I still have to revisit all of scipts in this way.
But I don't care because I am really much HAPPY that I got it to work, finally.
With this approach it will save me a lot of time for sure.

Many thanks again CW

Thank you CW for the quickly answer.
I must need to try this further now, then I will be right back here again and let you know.

Good evening to all AGSer.

This is much interesting to know.
I didn't knew (since a couple of minute ago) that the file.tra doesn't translate any String inside an array.
In other hand, I should revisit all of my scripts and to do something like this.

Code: ags

if (Game.TranslationFilename != "English") {MessageToSay[0] = "Ciao, come stai ?";}
else {MessageToSay[0] = "Hello, how are you ?";}

I wish I could ask you for confirmation on this issue before changing further the source code.
Thanks in advance.

I am sorry to review this *old post again.
But I think I had found another small issue.
I can actually keep walking in any direction in diagonal as well.
But when we are running, we can't actually move to the DOWN-RIGHT side
Can you confirm this kind of issue in your free time ?

Thank you in advance 

[EDITED]
My mistake only, it's everything work perfectly.

OH, Khris you did it !
I just saw this fixing right now ! Thank you very much !

well yeah... if i hide the HandleMovement();
it's just like the module is beign cutted off
and not any purpose then
with some trick //
i can join both together very nice..
as example
in room 1 i can trigger a gravity jump
and walking/running the player in diagonal
also while walking in a new high platform.
(with Alt Keyboard Movement is simply Amazing)
(not that's the same from the standard module KeyboardMovement using with the gravity jump)
#region then, are usefull for setting limits to the player
player.IsStandingOnRegion(1) { player.PlaceOnWalkableArea();}
and will not fall to underground
It's actually good stuff together


the description you did it's exactly what i wish for
probably i should give a global timer that animate the idle view taking out from modules
something like
in GlobalScript.ash
#define TIMER_IDLE_VIEW  1
in GlobalScript.asc
function IDLE_VIEW() {
if (!KeyboardMovement.Animating() && was_animating) { SetTimer(TIMER_IDLE_VIEW, 160); }

if (IsTimerExpired(TIMER_IDLE_VIEW))
{
// animate the idle view avoid Alt KeyboardMovement Loops ,
// if keyboard is animating then, normal view/walking
// How Khris could you do something alike to do the trick ?
// i wish you could help me with this
}

Well, I'm also using a gravity jump module that it work nice
Maybe cause contrast with it

//A quick explanation of the module's values:
//if gravity is lower than 0, it makes the character go up. The lower, the faster. 
//If it's greater, the character moves down, the greater, the faster.
//xmove behaves the same way, only on the x axis. 
//below zero is left, above zero is right.

Firstly, Thanks So Much Khris For Your Respond, Very Appreciated !!!

I'm Not So Sure Where I Should Put The KeyboardMovement.SetIdleView(int view, int delay) line...
I Put It In The game_start section firstly...

Code: ags

#sectionstart game_start  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function game_start() {
KeyboardMovement.SetMovementKeys(eKMMovementArrowKeys);
Game.SpeechFont=eFontFont3;
player.SetWalkSpeed(5, 5);
cCkid.SetWalkSpeed(7, 7);
SetBackgroundFrame(0);
srSetSnowAmount(700);
srSetWindSpeed(9);
cCkid.FaceLocation(1, 192);
cCkid.ManualScaling=true;
cCkid.Scaling=107;
cCkid.Transparency=100;
BtnarmorEquip.Visible=false;
eShadow.Disable(player);
SmoothScroll_ScrollingOn();
SmoothScroll_PxOn();
KeyboardMovement.SetIdleView(7, 0);
}
#sectionend game_start  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

Then, I Move It In The Section repeatedly_execute()
or in the repeatedly_execute_always()
But
He Still Loop The Idle View... 
(Maybe Cause My idleview delay was to 0 ) ?!
When I Put The IdleView Delay To 40... well... nothing will happen ! =(

The Trouble is not when it start the idle view...
But it's that he loop the idle view very very much...
Maybe there is a contrast with The void HandleMovement() ?
I Tried To Hide //HandleMovement() and it work good...
But then the character don't use anymore the walkview...
Just like he Move (as example player.move)

I Love This Module so much !  It Is Pretty Much Perfect ! Thank You Khris For Exist

May I should move this topic to beginning area...
I'm Having Hard Times to set the  KeyboardMovement.SetIdleView(int view, int delay);
When I do that, my Player set the idleview for an instant, then, he start to Loop the Idle view...

I'm trying to figure out the latest sentence

Code: ags

void repeatedly_execute() {

  if (Enabled) HandleMovement();

  if (IdleView == 0) IdleView = player.IdleView;
  if (KeyboardMovement.Animating() && !was_animating) player.SetIdleView(-1, 0);
  if (!KeyboardMovement.Animating() && was_animating) player.SetIdleView(IdleView, IdleDelay);
  was_animating = KeyboardMovement.Animating();

}
