Animation repeats itself after entering and exiting the building, even with self switch enabled

  1. I'm trying to recreate Red Riding Hood for school project in rpg maker but I cannot get one little detail to work.

    Game starts with RRH outside, she triggers Switch for the mother to call her, then mother enters the house and dissapears. However, if I enter the house and exit it, mother is outside, enters the house, and dissapears. I don't have any idea why! I used Self switch at the end so that animation would never loop but it does not work. Here are the screenshots of the mother's events:

    Only event page 3 repeats itself even though there is nothing different from the other pages.

    I would really appreciate if someone would tell me what I did wrong
  2. You used a lot of self-switches for appearantly no reason - why switch first to a page with self-switch A that does nothing but turn on self-switch B?


    Bug hunting is easier if you have as few event pages as possible, and especially the first event page is extremely critical due to the autorun that does nothing - you should never make such a page, because autoruns loop AND block all player input. If you ever go to that map before the switch 001 is turned on, the game would hang.


    Another tip:


    ALWAYS name your switches as soon as you use them, you should NEVER have an unnamed switch like the 001 visible anywhere.


    That is not only for your convenience to remember what you made the switch do, but also to prevent yourself from accidentally using a switch twice...
  3. I'm slowly starting to lose my patience, I really don't know what I am doing wrong. I deleted the seemingly unnecessary switches but now the second page does not work and the walking animation still plays every time I exit the house or start the game.

    I will go by it page by page.

    This is the first page, it's there so that the mother would be on screen when the game starts, without it she would appear on the screen when she started walking.

    This is the second page, it supposed to activate when player walks through the tile next to him on the road with the switch, but right now it does not work.

    This is the problematic page, it supposed to play the animation after the previous page (dialogue and the game's beginning) but it does it at the beginning and then repeats itself. The Self switch is there to cancel it after it plays but it does not work. Mother is supposed to go into the house and then dissapear in doors

    This is the ending page, after mother dissapears she is supposed to end the animation and never play it again.

    I really don't see what is wrong here!

    Alright, nevermind, I've been using Autonomus movement instead of Move command. Case closed!!
