Hello there, I am kinda new to modding, even if I have a background in studying videogames development. As a gamer, I love enjoy games that I truly see as beautiful and LSWTSS is one of them. However there is a problem here, which the "autorun" feature it seems some new lego games have. I saw it in Lego Incredibles on Ps4 and the skywalker saga. It happens like this: when you move with your character, after a few seconds they start to run automatically, which for me (and some others online I read about) is a huge big deal when I am playing. Having controls on what I can or cannot do is important when I play (OT: first time I played FF XII on Ps2 I could not change the comands of my camera movement which are reverse and it took me more than 10 years to return back and just finish the game without being able to use the controls I usually am familar with) and that is why I am going on a research to make some changes for the Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga. This game is beautiful and everyting looks amazing right away, but this autorun system is a pain in the a$$. I am looking online how to create a mod or to change some scripts inside the game files. I know for a fact that the developers had created this feature in a script where they manage the character movements and there mustb e function that declare after how many seconds the character use an alternative speed or the run variable. My idea is that to try and make a change in that script (first thing first I need to understand how I can find it and how to get access to it) and instead of changing the script entirly, just make a small change and make the script using the normalWalk variable speed with the run variable speed (they might have different names ofc) so this way the game should always mantain the normal speed even after a few seconds that starts to run, since with my change the run variable will have the same value of normal walk, so I should not feel that "autorun" anymore. Same Idea goes for Lego Incredibles on Steam, however I might get used to this on console since there are no mods there, which leave me with hope and prayer that the developers will change things, but that is more unlikely to happen anytime soon. So yeah, this is my idea about scripting the game on Steam so I can make sure the autorun feature is no more and I can enjoy walking normally and have a good time. I did not pointed out, but I prefer to make things in a way that allow me to unlock achievements on Steam while playing the game. I do not know how modding or scripting really works on that matter, but I hope we can find something out. Please let me know how I can start working out or if any of you have tools or materials to make this game, I would be like to know it. Thank you for your help and I hope we can somehow make this mod happen, which will change the gamestyle for a lot of players.
