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

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.

click event move then select player then wait

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]

$game_character.lock

and at the end of the event

Code: [Select]

$game_character.unlock
