Two Unrelated Questions; XP vs. VX and Cut Scenes

[FlapJack]

Hey, first post! Woot!


So, on to the topic! Well, first of all...which is better? RPG Maker XP or VX? Should I upgrade? Any specific reason to upgrade or not to?

Next question is about cut scenes. In RMXP I've got this cutscene that goes like this:

@>Set Move Route: Char1
:$>Change Speed: 4
:$>Move Left
:$>Move Left
:$>Move Left
:$>Move Left
:$>Move Left
@>Text: test text message
Set Move Route: Char1
:$>Move Down
:$>Move Down
:$>Move Down
:$>Move Down


Now, no matter WHAT I do, Char1 keeps moving right after the text. so, what happens is... he moves left 5 spaces and displays the text, I hit enter to move the event on, and he moves down one space, and starts going left again until he hits the edge of the map. Any ideas?



Thanks

Your event's on "Autorun" or "Parallel Processing." That means, the event will loop nonstop. Plug a "Erase Event" or a "Self Switch A = On" at the end of the event to stop that.
(If you use self switches, create a new page and check the Conditions "Self-Switch A == On." If you use Erase Event, note that it will happen again if you leave the map and come back.)

As for XP vs VX, there are already millions of posts on it.
If you want good graphics, more customization, stay with XP.
If you want easy mapping, shortcuts, and awesome scripting, go for VX.

I made a tutorial that explains how to change modes.
