CT Dash Burst Released: 8-Direction Dash Plugin for RPG Maker MZ

CT Dash Burst is now available for RPG Maker MZ! This map movement plugin adds a configurable burst dash with optional diagonal movement, collision-aware stopping, synchronized visible party followers, and fading afterimage trails. It is designed for developers who want more responsive traversal in exploration and action-oriented RPG projects.

What is included?

• Dash in the facing direction or hold two directional inputs for diagonal movement when enabled.

• Configure the dash key, distance, visual movement speed and cooldown.

• Stop at the last valid tile before blocked terrain, solid events or other normal movement collisions.

• Visible followers join the burst and independently check their paths.

• Customize built-in fading afterimages without importing extra image assets.

• Optionally play a database animation and sound effect when dashing.

• Use plugin commands to enable or disable the dash, set or add to its distance, and reset defaults. Runtime dash settings persist in saves.

Getting started: place [10]CT_DashBurst.js in js/plugins/, enable it in RPG Maker MZ Plugin Manager, and press Q on the map with the default settings. The default dash distance is three tiles and the cooldown is 30 frames. Dashing is unavailable while jumping or riding a vehicle.
