Set Move Route -HELP-

Hey, I've recently started a new game using RMXP.

I have an NPC talking to some characters, then have him walking out of the area. But when I tell it to make him move, after his speech, the NPC vanishes and nothing happens. Could someone please help?

PIC OF MY EVENT PAGE:



Any help would be highly appreciated.

I'm guessing the switch at the end activates the second page, which is blank? This used to annoy me way back in the day, but the problem is that Set Move Route is kind of a background event command that runs parallel with other event commands. For example, if you had a Set Move Route followed by a message, the message window will pop up as soon as the move route starts. The Wait Until Move's Completion command right under the move route is what you can use here. It'll essentially make the event wait for the move to complete before the event continues processing, so the switch won't turn on until the move is finished. :)

I think there is some issue where if multiple move routes are happening together in different events, the command will wait until all of them finish, which isn't always ideal, but don't quote me on that. I'm not too familiar with that issue. If it becomes a problem, you can also just add in a wait command after the move route, using trial and error to figure out exactly how long the move route takes.

you haven't placed a wait for completion on that move route.


A move route is a command that is placed on a stack to be executed for the next several frames - without a wait, the event continues with the next command in the same frame however. That is neccessary to allow several event to move at the same time - but without the wait on the last set move route command, the control switch command is executed before those move routes are completed - and that probably swithces the event to the second page before the moves are done.

Thank you SO much. This was bugging me for ages. I was having trouble with XP, being quite experienced with VX Ace. I switched over because I like the character height better. :D

You can have taller characters in Ace. The High Fantasy pack uses characters even taller than XP, and there are games made with Ace that use it.
