Created for the two ridiculous "That's Slippery" and "Nerves of Steel" achievements.
Will be initially creating for the ChronuxMax on an Xbox One but feel free to commit a script for other platforms - be sure to include what peripheral you're using the script for.
You can find the user manual/syntax here.
I figured it would be best to create separate scripts for the two achievements to start off with. Once the two are working then they could just be merged I guess.
Things I discovered whilst doing this; they're just for reference/backup.
The game map and all sprites are layed out in a square 'grid'. This script is to be run the moment you spawn in the map, and should finish you off infront of the NPC at the end of the map for you to press A and speak to. After which, you run the second script in order to make the journey back. This code should be set out so that the only buttons you should be pressing is Left Trigger to get to the end of the maz, and Right Trigger to go back to the beginning.
I also need to work out how much time there is to navigate across 1 block on the 'grid'. Your character can not stand/turn inbetween the 'squares' on the 'grid' both on land and whilst sliding, and so that amount of time needs to be measured. This will be trial and error, but once we figure out the measurement of "1", the rest will fall into place. I haven not yet determined if the sliding speed is the same as the walking speed on normal ground - this will be discovered in tests, when alternating between the very start of the map to the very start of sliding. Once discovering the timing of one block and how much time there needs to be between button presses.
Not sure if requed if the timing is correct, but I noticed when playing that the character will not turn whilst sliding unless the DPad button is held down when it is time to turn, meaning the DPad cannot be 'tapped' when required.
From my tests, it looks like turning at each block takes 242ms. This was tested by mounting onto the maze and having the character move left/right/left/right continuously until I was able to do so for an extended period of time.
However, going straight appears to take a little less time, however I'm not sure if it's either a varied amount or something between 7ms and 8ms. So every 40 2x block turns, I decrease the two block time from 484ms to 474ms. This allowed me to slide a continuous 2x2 block stream for 300+ turns, which should be sufficient.
After further testing, I have discovered and come to the conclusion that there are either one of two problems. Either the Cronus's internal clock is not 100% consistent, or that sliding in a straight line for any more than 2 blocks causes your character to 'jump' forward somewhat by a varying amount of frames each time - you can witness the jump whilst your character is sliding through long stretches of the maze, as he gradualls shifts to the edge of the screen, though I haven't calculated if the amount in the jump changes each time.
If the latter is the case, then the slight variances in the speed of the character is enough to throw the script off randomly at randomly times, which is what's happening during my tests - parts of the script which had previously been conquered perfectly and can consistently get through without trouble, will suddenly, randomly start to fail, and it will not happen at the same points. There must be some kind of 'give' to the controls, as I can very frequently get past the halfway point of the map (where there's lots of 'stairs' after a big horizontal stretch, but it is enough to make sure that this script is not 100% reliable. I'm reaching more and more problems as I get further into the maze, and it's not always at the same parts.
I'm actually questioning whether it's even possible to script this now....
There are 629 moves total, and as of the time of writing, I can regularly (about 40% of the time) get up to move 459.
Generally for my reference/backup. U/L/D/R is the direction, number is how many blocks (aka map grid squares) in that direction you need to move.
