Hold B Button To Run For GB Studio

As the name suggests, these project files will help you implement (Hold B to Run) functionality in a 2D Top-Down project, which is a feature more commonly known in platforming titles.

Available for GBStudio 2, which is where it was originally created,  and also the current GB Studio 4.1.0.

The project uses variables 500 (CurrentlyRunning) and 501 (OnStairs), which means it will automatically adjust the speed if your character is on stairs. You will need to add your own triggers to your project to let the game know if you are on stairs or not by setting 501 to true of false. 

The full script will make your character's speed increase when the B button is held, and also knows if you were holding B in the previous scene so your character can continue to run through multiple scenes.

I created the game The Mayor of Sanctuary using GB Studio 2, and this script was developed for that game.  Written by Anthony Wallace of Nara Makes Games Instagram.com/naramakesgames
