I looked back a few pages and saw someone else had this exact same issue. When i set a move event to an NPC or hero, they just move in a straight line in the first direction.
I.E. If i say "Move down move left move left move left", he just goes down until he hits a wall and then moves left until he hits the other wall.
The way the person who had this problem before solved it was using a custom pattern. The problem with that is that
1)You can't move the hero with a custom pattern (to my knowledge)
2) The movement with a custom pattern is very choppy and broken up, it looks unnatural. Move event however, looks fine... it's just that it doesn't seem to be agreeing with me right now.
I don't know if i've ever been able to move by squares in 2K3, but i know in XP when you said "Move down" he only moved down one square.
Is there any way around this?
You have the repeat action box cheaked. That means that they will repeat the first action until they move in that direction.
Uncheak the box.
no, the box isn't checked. Thats what i thought at first too though.
....Sorry, don't know how to fix that then.
But you can move the player by a path. There is a move event command that can also move the player if you want it to.
Ok, it's been weeks (maybe months, havent checked) and i still haven't been able to solve this problem. I thought it might be some trouble with Vista perhaps but on an XP computer i get the same exact problem. Would it help if i posted a video up of exactly what i'm doing to get this problem? Cause until it's fixed, i can't continue work...
I don't know if this is the problem, but do you have the event running as a parallel process? Try putting a Wait command after the move event and report what happens. I am thinking that it is possible that you have a parallel process or Autostart, and the move event is constantly being run over again before it finishes or gets very far. It's just a guess though.
*facepalm*
good lord, you're right! I totally forgot that auto-start processes loop indefinitely unless i manually stop them X_X
thanks alot man, now i can finally get back to work! ;D
