cant get my NPC to STFU

[Skybug13]

im trying to make an event where someone comes up to you and you cant move. they say something to you and make you follow them somewhere.

How do i do this?

I think it can be done with a simple autorun event.
Example:

@>Set Move Route: This event
                          $> Move Down
                          $> Move Down
Wait for move's completion.
Text: Follow me!
@Set Move Route: This event
                          $> Move Up
                          $> Move Up
@Set move route: Player
                          $>Move Up
                          $>Move Up
Hope it helps.

i guess my first post was kinda vague. i want a conditional statement that says if a certain variable is active, then nothing happens. but if its not, the event happens and you have to do it. i want the player to not be able to move and is forced to follow the event. Thank you so much for your help (btw the text just keeps repeating over and over)

Variables aren't really active, they just have a value.  Nonetheless, here's what you should do.

Conditional Branch: Variable [0001: Sample] ((=,<,>, etc.)) 1
@>Set Move Route: This event
                          $> Move Down
                          $> Move Down
Wait for move's completion.
Text: Follow me!
@Set Move Route: This event
                          $> Move Up
                          $> Move Up
@Set move route: Player
                          $>Move Up
                          $>Move Up
Wait for move's completion.
Self Switch: A = ON

Then make a blank event page that has the condition "Self Switch A = ON" and it won't repeat.

I think you can replace the variable with a switch. In fact, if the event only runs once, just use Guardian's self-switch method and ignore the switch.
