Movement issue?

Hi everyone,
I have run into a very annoying bug or something like that.
I just tried testing my game for the first time, but something is going horribly wrong. For some strange reason, controlling my character is nearly impossible. It appears as though my character is lagging several key presses behind. E.g. If I press the up button three times, my character doesn't move, if I then press down 3 times, it will move up three times. Previous games I made (but abandoned at some stage) never had this issue.

Any help would be highly appreciated

I got the same problem well kinda. i started my game and i couldnt move. i deleted the last event and i was able to move again. it was a autorun event for the starting variables idk why that made me not able to move. this sucks because i need those variables to be at a number
-----------------
OK so the way i fixed my problem i just put erase event at the end after setting all my variables!

Autorun runs forever, so you *must* turn them off somehow. Most use a self switch to do that, as erase event will make it run again when you reenter the map.

I think though that the auto run preventing movement is a different issue than what OP has. Otherwise the player would not move at all.

Do you have any parallel process events on the page? Any plugins that you’ve not used before?

It sounds like you deleted actors 1-3 and are using actor 4 solo but didn't remove actors 1-3 from the starting party in the System tab. Doing this will give you 3 "ghosts" as the first 3 actors in your party which will, indeed, have your only visible actor trailing by 3 steps as they follow the ghosts.

Oooh, what a good catch! I just tested it and it seems it may very well be this. And the moving up when pressing down is explained as well, because of the way the actors in the party turn around when changing direction.

I'm not sure how many people got it but this type of issue is what spawned one of my Meme thread posts. :)

This is exactly what the issue was! Thanks so so so much!!!

No problem. It's an easy mistake to make, one that most of us have made at some point when using the software. Good luck with your game and let us know if you need anything else.
