Player needs to stop moving :P [resolved]

[FenixFyreX]

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could point me to, or create a script that would freeze the player in their spot via a switch or variable, and once the switch or variable was reset, the player would be able to move again.

I tried searching but I didn't find anything like what I want...

Thanx

Do a "Set Move Route" on the player. You don't need any movement commands, but you do need to set "Repeat Action"
To turn it off, do another empty "Set Move Route" command with "Repeat Action" unchecked.

Lol...I guess a script isn't needed...:P i'm so used to vx...

Any event on Autorun will do, too.
Set its page condition to a switch and at the bottom mark Autorun. The player can't move while the event is active. Do your cutscene or whatever in that event and at the last line, set the switch OFF.

@Silver Wind Thanks. Your method fixed my problem.

@Brewmeister When I use your method, all actions after it cease to continue. In other words, whatever is happening after the Set Move Route: Player, Repeat Action stops working. But thanks anyway :P

This topic is solved, whoever needs to know.

Sometimes you need to use Parallel Processes. So Autorun will not always work in certain cases. Therefore like brewmeister said. Set Move Route: Player, Move Towards Player will freeze the player. To undo this, after event is finished Set Move Route: Player, Turn in any direction, (Most likely the direction that the player was originally in would be fine.)
