Events never stop....

[~(Adremmalech)~]

the title may be misleading but...in summary this is what I need help with...

When I set move routes, and I tell a certain event to walk in a circle...I use these move routes
(Move up, Move left, move down, move right) and I have it on parallel process

My problem is that my event only moves up...and it keeps going up until it runs into a wall or some other object...

Is there anyway to stop that?

For that particular way, you put a "Wait Before Move Completion" after the set move route, but a much better way would be to change the "Autonomous Movement" type to Custom and make your move route there.

Wouldn't it be easier to do a move up (wait 1 frame) move left (wait 1 frame) move down (wait 1 frame) move right (wait 1 frame).

It has to stop, allowing it to process the next cmd. It causes a slight lag though.

What is all in the event?

(i'll try to think on something that matter to post here)

right of the sprites picture in the event editor, theres a drop down menu, and a button that says "Custom movement" thats where you put in how the characte rmoves.

Something to know about the "set move route" command.
The event editor does not wait for the move to be completed by itself before it read the next command. So after you put in the , up down left right, commands, use the Wait for Move Completion . Else RMP reads move up, and before it read the next movement commands it read move Up again, because it's in a parallel process.

Exactly, Ace. But how was you trying to do it Adrem?

sorry...xD my first few events are cutscenes... but when I have my characters move they continue on their first action in the move route without stopping...so like lets say I want "Alastor" to move up, down, then left (1 step each)...I input all the correct controls, but when I playtest, "Alastor" only goes up and he keeps going until he runs into a wall

Do you have a "Wait for move's completion" thing in there?
