Path Finding--Please I need it fast

[NoNakuKoroNi]

I need ( to anyone who can make it or point me in the dirrection of it) a pathfinding script that can use variables, Example

Set Variable ( player 1-x) = player's [X- map]
Set Variable ( player 1-y) = player's [Y- map]
(this is what I need \/ )
Script { scene_pathfinding_[event id] [variable x] [variable y]}
and it can work with parrellel process's.
I need it mainly for events.
I need it because I have big maps, and alot events all the time moving
to other events, and it will take years to do, with (event movement)

Just in case you can do this sort of thing without a script, this is what I
tried but it kept hitting trees and water.

>Control Variables: [0026: dominion-E-1-X]=[EV002]'s Map X
>Control Variables: [0026: dominion-E-1-Y]=[EV002]'s Map Y

>Control Variables: [0051: Rachel-Y]=This event's Map Y
>Control Variables: [0051: Rachel-X]-=Variable [0026: dominion-E-1-X]
>Control Variables: [0051: Rachel-Y]-=Variable [0026: dominion-E-1-Y]
@>Conditional Branch: Variable [0051: Rachel-X]<=-2

Else
@>Conditional Branch: Variable [0051: Rachel-X]>=2
@>Set Move Route: This event (Ignore If Can't Move)
: :$>Move Left

: Branch End
@>Conditional Branch: Variable [0051: Rachel-Y]<=-2

@>Set Move Route: This event (Ignore If Can't Move)

It gets to them but it doesn't dodge elements in the way,
I'm a variable artist not a scripter, PLEASE, I need this as fast as possible.

 

[NoNakuKoroNi]

Mmmmm, I really do need this script...Bumbdiddy Bumb.
sorry I think its been 72 hours, or 48 hours.

 

[NoNakuKoroNi]

Sorry, I don't know if this counts as a bumb but i thought that it should be told before someone tries to make this script....
Can whoever can help me, can you make it "wait for movement to complete"
compatable?

Last I checked, Nears Pathfinding works fine with variables. I used it for my Event based battle system:

Sorry, but how do you use variables in that script.

 

[ancient algebra]

You follow the instructions for setting up a path (in the topic. It's on creationasylum I believe... search "path finding" there), and for trg_x, trg_y, src_x, src_y, you just put variables instead, like $game_variables[1] would be the value stored in variable 1.

 

[NoNakuKoroNi]

thank you, I really need this for me game.

sorry, but can you post the script, I tired copieng it but it dies on the title, and that forum is died.
