Help with pictures

OK, so this is what i want. When you go into the next area, a picture will show in the top left hand corner with text saying where you are. Ive got it so it waits 50 frames before disappearing. But your character cannot move within those 50 frames. After a while that would get annoying. Is there any way in which you can move your character around while the picture is there and then disappear
 
There are scripts that do this with a small window. search "map name hud display" (or something like that)

Otherwise, if you are using "Autorun", the player will be frozen. Use "Parallel Process" for the "wait".

I did this with a single event using 3 Event Pages...

Page 1: Trigger: Autorun, Commands: Show Picture, control self switch A ON

Page 2: Conditions: Self Switch A is ON, Trigger: Parallel, Commands: Wait 50 frames, Erase picture, Control self switch B ON

Page 3: Conditions: Self Switch B is ON, Trigger: Action Button, No commands
