Non-Global Wait For Move's Completion script request.

[CJF]

I've been working on a fully automated town that lives and breaths on it's own - but I've run into a problem.

Everything worked fine on the first person I created, he gets up in the morning, goes to work, than goes home and to bed when the night rolls around. The problem came when I created the second person and I learned that Wait for Move's Completion is global.

The two characters would make huge pauses and wait for each other to complete their moves which made everything disjointed. One character would move, than wait for the second character to complete his next movement and then go into their next move.

So I used Wait instead, the only problem is now the player can step infront of the NPCs and mess up the whole thing. With Wait it just keeps going through the event untill it finally ends and suddenly I have a blacksmith standing in the middle of town selling stuff, instead of in his shop.

So I humbly request a script that creates a non-Global Wait for Move's Completion. This will allow me to have multiple people going about their day in town without having to turn on Through which kinda looks unprofessional to me.

If anyone can think of a non-script way to get this to work too, that would be great as well.

Thanks!

In the event that creates the move route, make a loop. Inside the loop, have a conditional branch with this in the script:

!$game_map.events.move_route_forcing

Where i is the name of the event. Inside the conditional branch, break the loop. That will only allow the event to continue processing once the event reaches its destination.

For example:
