Title: Character and event movement
Post by: RAA! on October 04, 2006, 03:59:08 AM

I can't seem to get this down... What I am trying to do is create a movie with the characters, switching maps etc. But I can't seem to get it to work correctly, often I'm stuck with events / characters that do not move at all and it bassically skips what they are supposed to do.

I can't think of a way to explain this better, but can any of you wonderful people here help me with this?  :D

The game will tend to skip over movement etc unless there's a Wait command or a Move All.

If the only commands are the standard "Step Left", "Step Right", etc (ie no "Face Left"s or such) then you can simply put a Move All function at the end of the movement. This makes the game wait for the movement to finish executing -- NOTE THAT THIS APPLIES TO ALL EVENTS ON THE MAP. Do not use it if you have somebody's movement looping (running back and forth etc) or the game will just stop there and never proceed.

Otherwise, use Wait commands to make the game wait for the character's movement. Trial and error comes in handy here.

Also, if you have too much movement, the game can go faulty. Best to keep it simple.
