Movement Control Settings

GMS_MovementControlSetting allows you to configure movement/rotation settings for multiple different movement states, achieving different speeds and control feelings in various movement states.

Creating Movement Control Settings

You can create a new movement control setting by creating a data asset of type GMS_MovementControlSetting in the editor.

Adding Control Settings to Movement Set Settings

GMS provides a wealth of pre-configured movement control settings. Here, we will use MC_Normal.

If you are a heavy user of overlays, you may also want different OverlayMode to influence control. You can add mappings between different OverlayMode and movement control settings in the ControlSettings map. For a specific OverlayMode, if there is no corresponding valid control setting, it will fall back to the default control settings.

Movement State Settings

A movement control setting can contain multiple movement state settings (MovementStateSetting).

For example:MC_Normaldefining common movement states: walk, run, and sprint.

A movement control setting requires at least one movement state setting, and this array should be sorted by speed from lowest to highest.

Each movement state setting can specify its movement speed, level, acceleration, deceleration, and rotation methods under different rotation modes.

Rotation Modes

ViewDirection: The character's orientation is influenced by ControlRotation.
VelocityDirection: The character's orientation is influenced by speed (which can be based on player input direction or movement direction).
