making the main character freeze for a few seconds while an event occures

[Joey_Noob]

i need to know how to make it so when an event happens the gamer cannot move the character while the event is taking place.

Explaining what Joey_Noob is saying -

There are two wait commands.

1 ) Wait (wait in frames)
2 ) Wait for Move Completion (obvious, may not be called the same thing, haven't used it in a while)

Depending on what is going on there are different choices -

1 ) If others are moving and you want them to move in different orders, but still moving at the same time, use the wait (in frames) event.

2 ) If you want one character to move after another one stops moving, use the other one.

3 ) If you don't want the main character to move at all throughout the event, in the begining of the event, use the script box command -

Code Select Expand

$game_character.lock

and at the end of the event

Code Select Expand

$game_character.unlock
