Door stutter problem

[Tindy]

So, I have these doors in my game, right? (They tend to make a game better, I hear.) When I stand in front of a door and press the action button, it opens beautifully - I've had that part covered for a while now. However, when I try to do the same from *behind* the door (IE: From the other room), it still works but kind of does a stutter step, regardless of if it's opening or closing.  Why does it do this?  Is there a way I can fix it?

Could you perhaps elaborate? What do you mean, "stutter"? And how is your event code set up?

(Event Page 1, Trigger=Action Button)                    @>Wait 3 Frame(s)
                                                                          @>Control self switch: A=ON
(Event Page 2, Self Switch A=ON, Trigger=Automatic)  @>Wait 3 Frame(s)
                                                                          @>Control self switch: B=ON
(Event Page 3, Self Switch B=ON, Trigger=Automatic)  @>Wait 3 Frame(s)
                                                                          @>Control self switch: C=ON
(Event Page 4, Self Switch C=ON, Trigger=Action Button)

Thats just to open the door, and the stutter problem still exists there; to close it I just add [@>wait 3 frame(s) @>Self Switch C, B, A = OFF]. I'm beginning to think that it's maybe because the open door sprite is set to "Through," and the rest obviously aren't, so that I guess could cause a problem with the hero sprite behind the door....maybe?

Just had this problem. Make the event "Direction Fix On" During the moveroute of the event. put Direction Fix Off at the top. At the bottom put it back to Direction Fix On.

Ahh, I see, the door turns to face you for 3 frames, causing the stutter.
You can check "Direction Fix", but there's another, easier solution. Simplify your event code to two pages:

(Event Page 1, Trigger Action Button)

@>Set Move Route: [Door]
       :$>Turn Left
       :$>Wait: 3 frames
       :$>Turn Right
       :$>Wait: 3 frames
       :$>Turn Up
@>Wait: 6 frames
@>Control Self-Switch A = On

(Event Page 2, Self-Switch A=On, Trigger Action Button)

@>Set Move Route: [Door]
       :$>Turn Right
       :$>Wait: 3 frames
       :$>Turn Left
       :$>Wait: 3 frames
       :$>Turn Down
@>Wait: 6 frames
@>Control Self-Switch A = Off

Tindy I sent you a PM but if you want help with this one two please send a little demo and Ill modify it with an explaination of what I did to help you ok?  It doesnt have to be a demo of your game just make a new game with a what you have set up for the door.

Boudragon I understand you're trying to help but I'm pretty sure Tindy's already figured it out by now.

 

[boudragon]

then i believe a post from tindy would be here saying something like... it worked. please dont try to discourage me out of helping its rude and annoying.
