Summary

Cheers, RPG Makers! This is my first post! Thanks kindly for being such a generous community of developers and educators. As I'm learning how to manipulate RPG Maker MV, this forum has proven to be a tremendous resource. I've only spent a couple hundred hours with the app so far, and the project I'm working on now is a side-scroller, but I can't get the wandering monster events to move on the map in the same manner as the player.

Thanks kindly for being such a generous community of developers and educators. As I'm learning how to manipulate RPG Maker MV, this forum has proven to be a tremendous resource.

I've only spent a couple hundred hours with the app so far, and the project I'm working on now is a side-scroller, but I can't get the wandering monster events to move on the map in the same manner as the player.

The plugin I'm using is pgeogheg's RPGMaker-Side-Scroller-Plugin, which you can find here: https://github.com/pgeogheg/RPGMaker-Side-Scroller-Plugin

I don't know much about tweaking the code for these things, but I switched one of the gravity values from 120 to 45 and that made it work well for my player to jump a height of 3 tiles and a distance of about 4 or 5 tiles.

If I knew what to swap out in that plugin to switch the game mechanic from targeting the player to targeting THIS EVENT, then I think that would be a good solution for my issue. I mean, I could keep the player's side-scrolling plugin as-is and add this new modified plugin into the game along with it. One plugin would handle the player, and the other should handle anything marked as THIS EVENT.

Would any of you be so kind as to explain which terms in the script I could replace to make it run like that?

Any guidance is much appreciated!

Cheers!
