Breath of Fire type movement
Say Blue haired guy in front (the leader) has a variable of var_player = 1 (objRyu)
Say Nina (2nd Leader) has var_player = 2 (objNina)
Say Bo (3rd Leader) has var_player = 3 (objBo)
Say Karn (4th Leader) has var_player = 4 (objKarn)

How do I code such types of movements (left, right, up, down, up/down/left/right although left/up/right/down etc. is pressed)
Check http://www.gamewinners.com/gamegenie.php?g...sbreathfire.htm
and http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/home/563529.html
for controls.

I am Fira777 and Grimfowl from YouTube if anyone is wondering.
