Yanfly Action Sequence - Making characters move without turning around

    Hi! I made a skill animation using Yanfly's plugin. It works well, but the problem is at the end. When the character goes back to his original position (move user: home, 12), he turns back before moving. So, in the player's case. He moves left, uses his skill, turns right and moves right back to his original spot.
    I'd like to remove that turn right part, since it looks a bit awkward specially when enemies use the skill. So, in this case, I'd like the player to move right while facing left. Is it possible to do that?


    Code:
    <setup action>
DISPLAY ACTION
move user: forward, 32, 12
wait for movement
motion attack: user
</setup action>
  
<whole action>
animation 2666: target
wait for animation
ACTION EFFECT: target
wait: 30
</whole action>

<target action>
</whole action>

<finish action>
CLEAR BATTLE LOG
move user: home, 12
wait for movement
face user: forward
</finish action>

    You can't really stop them from turning around- what you can do is turn them back around immediately:
    Code:
    move user: [movement parameters]
face user: [direction of choice]
wait for movement
    The second line runs on the same frame as the first, so there's no chance for the player to see them facing the "wrong" direction.

    I want to say that using return instead of home doesn't change the character's facing. It works with a skill I made, but that was an enemy skill.

    I updated the finish action part of the code to

    Code:
    <finish action>
CLEAR BATTLE LOG
move user: home, 12
face user: away from home
wait for movement
face user: forward
</finish action>

    And that gave me this error

    Code:
    ReferenceError: target is not defined
    at Game_Actor.Game_Battler.spriteFaceAwayHome

    Yeah! Using return worked! Thanks :D

    Code:
    <finish action>
CLEAR BATTLE LOG
move user: return, 12
wait for movement
face user: forward
