ok listen up
switches are not to be light minded with
they are evil at times mainly when used with collosion and auto start
now, thats what you want to do (and the guy in rmxp... i am sorry to hear rmxp.net is becoming so noobish even that guy can't answer such a simple thing)
as your first event (The one with the old person on the chair)
supposingly ends (aka man in the door thing)
just don't end it
use that event to do move events over the man's event.
then use messages and i promise no one will notice you kept the original event
the man at the door should have invisible graphics though always be there so that you could do (change graphics- man event- man) and then start moving him around
it's really simple if you can't do it i suggest you'll show me the event with screenies or otherwise pm it to me, i won't share your story with the world if that's what you are afraid of.
