movement event, i need help with creating and event to move an npc Options

[zanum]

Alright so I'm having trouble with an event that im creating where an npc walks into a jail and needs to walk over to another npc and start talking. when i run the game the npc walks but wont stop i need it to take a total of four steps forward stop and then tell the other npc the text that i want it to do. but all it does is run into the cell and the game does nothing after that do i need to create a seperate event for the npc that is walking up to the jail cell.

Can you post a screen of the event page?
Your problem would be easier to deal with...

Anyway, have you used an auto-start event?
Try this...

Main Event:
1st page
trigger: none
activation: auto start
>Move[Prisoner]
Move Forward
Move Forward
Move Forward
Move Forward
>wait 20 frames
>Dialogue
>...
>Switch[number] ON

2nd page
trigger: Switch[number]
activation: parallel process
>erase_event

I hope this can help,

Jens

It might just be that you put in too many direction commands for the npc. You probably have it so that the npc is walking into a wall and so you're net is waiting for it to finish walking but it's stuck. Maybe make it walk 3 steps instead.
