question repeated a lot. Need help making a basic cutscene

[Skybug13]

Im trying to make a cutscene not involving the main character ( i know how to make him invisible) and i need help with the npc's movement and dialog (spelling seems off to me. weird).  I can get the npc to move using set move route with his event, but when i try to show text after the movement, it shows the text right at the beginning and keeps repeating. any help would be appreciated!

The simple answer is that you need to use the oft-overlooked "Wait for Move's Completion" command after your move event. Then it will wait until the NPC finishes moving before carrying on with the text.

thats werid. i actually tried wait for move's completion and i couldnt get it to work. i will keep trying though. thank you for the help, and sorry to post such an over-posted question

If there's another NPC randomly walking around, "Wait for Move's Completion" won't stop until that NPC stops walking-- basically, freezing your game. You need to make sure there are no other move routes in progress when you use it, or get a script to fix it.

Of course, you could always just stick in an arbitrary "wait" command, and work out the timing, if "Wait for Move's Completion" isn't working out for you.
