  1. In one part of my game, there are rocks that the player can jump over, what I want to happen, is disable all player followers during the jump, and afterwards, they appear inside of the main player.

    However, when I make them reappear, they are simply where they were, then they start walking over the obstacles.

    Is there a way to move one(Or preferably more) player follower(s) to a specific location in an instant without disrupting the game?
  2. If you are doing something and it's not having the desired effect, first thing you need to do is SHOW US HOW you're doing it. A screenshot of your event would provide this information.


    To disable player followers, you could use the Gather Followers option, then turn followers off, do the jump, then turn followers on again. It SOUNDS like that's what you want to do with your description.
  3. I think his problem is that when he turns the followers on after the jump, they all appear directly behind the player, thus making it look like they are walking through the obstacles.

    You have a few options with this problem:

    1) Turn off followers indefinitely when transversing areas that have these kind of events.

    2) A bit more tedious way. Place a number of empty events equivalent to your party members around the tile that your player will land. Gather and turn off followers and jump over the events. After the player lands, create set move routes for those events to move to the same tile as the player (make sure 'through' is on) and set each event's graphics to the same as each party member. After that, move the player and events a few steps forward, then switch the followers on, and change the events back to empty graphics.

    3) Using scripts :

  4. The Caterpillar Jump Fix is what I was looking for. :D Thank you!

    Because every time my character jumped over the stepping stone, the follower would simply go through the water.
