[Resolved] Stop Player Movement HELP!

[Naughty3chia]

Alright im using RPG Maker VX and I havent used it in  a long long time...( so im a newb again  :pissed: )

I'm in the process of making this cutscene before I release the beta to my friend but theres one problem... My player can move around during the cutscene...this really messes up the cutscene...so I was wondering if there was a way to make a character unable to move during a cutscene...

Please make sure you are posting in the correct subforum before you make a topic.

Insert this below the Materials section:

class Game_Player
  attr_accessor :disable_movement
  alias_method :seph_disablemovement_gmplyr_mv?, :movable?
  def movable?
    return false if @disable_movement != nil && disable_movement
    return seph_disablemovement_gmplyr_mv?
  end
end

Now, to disable/enable player movement

$game_player.disable_movement = true or false

Well, Seph got in before me, but I still thought this might be useful, epecially to those who are just too afraid to use a script.

Well, all you have to do is set the player movement to "Move Toward Player" on repeat. Then, when the cut scene is over, you set the player's movement to "Move Away from Player". So the event could look something like this:

@>Set Move Route: Player (Repeat)
:                       : $>Move toward Player
: Your cut scene stuff...
@>Set Move Route: Player
:                       : $>Move away from Player

Also, if you move the player during the cut scene, make sure you add the first command after that movement, or they will be able to move again.

Is 8 lines of code scary? I mean, yeah, I could hide code in my scripts that reads your entire hard drives and sends the file details back to me in email, but... I would hate to see all the pron on some of these kids computers...

end

Now, to disable/enable player movement

$game_player.disable_movement = true or false

So in my events I just make the envent say "Run Script..." and then paste that script into whatever pops up

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Yep. use true to disable movement and false to re-enable it.

That's not what I'm saying. Just like some people are so afraid of spiders that they call a friend over to kill one, some people just have an irrational fear of scripts of any kind. I just wanted to provide an alternative. Also, good luck with the cut scene, Naughty3chia.
