Make an NPC walk off screen.

[IAmThaDoot]

I want to make it appear as though an NPC walks off the screen. I want them to 'walk off' the right side of the screen in a straight line. So what I did was, I set them to walk right until they reach the right side of the screen, then set their graphic to an invisible one. Didn't work, the game froze up? So then I did the walk right thing again, only this time I set a self switch with a new page with a blank graphic to come on after the walking right thing. That worked somewhat, only problem was, they disappeared before walking right! So, what do I do here?

Not sure if VX has this option too but in RMXP you have an event command called: Wait for move's completion.
If you set that after the move route and then you activate the switch it should work.

To stop the game freezing, check the box that says "ignore if can't move" when selecting the route.

...or just make sure that they don't move through an obstacle, the edge of the screen, etc.

The problem that you had the second time was the lack of a "wait" command, BTW-- it started the move route, then immediately went to the second page and dutifully erased the graphic.

Okay, took awhile for me to figure it out by messing with the different things you guys said, I'm slow^^; But yeah, what I did was, set wait 60 frames, set the movie route (right) then of course leave the switch in place and it worked. Thanks!
