Caterpillar Party at Different Speeds?

[Taco Bot]

For my game, the players will sometimes move at speed 2 or 10, different speeds than the default 4. The speed works, mostly, except that the spacing between members in the caterpillar party gets all wonky. At slower speeds, the party members walk way too close together. Is there any way to undo this with plotscripting?

Unfortunately there is no easy way to fix this

You can plotscript your own caterpillar, but it will not be a simple script.

One approach would be to disable normal movement, and script your own movement when the player presses arrow keys

Then you would have to keep track of a history of the last 3 steps that the leader made so that the other heroes could repeat those movements.

Shucks, alright. :/ I might just disable caterpillar entirely for this game, since it isn't *really* that necessary.

I really should make caterpillar stretch something that can be controlled as a built in feature, but I'll have to clean up a lot of code to make it happen

My main motivation for overhaulling/rewriting the caterpillar party is support pixel based movement :)
