[Eventing]RPG Maker XP 2 Player (Essentially), I discovered a way to allow a 2nd person to control a NPC with events. Options

The game you're talking about happens to be Cast Aside. The way I'm making it is completely multiplayer, however. As in, making an extra actor that can alter gameplay.

It could've also been FireBoy and WaterGirl from miniclip.com. I'm planning on creating a similar game for RMXP, so this system will be VERY useful. Thank you very much!

I found something similar to this (or maybe the same thing) on youtube channel 'foodjerk' and I've been tweaking it.

If you add 'wait for move's completion' to the beginning of the event it will behave more normally and not move extra spaces.

I added more conditional branches to allow 8 directional movement.
I added more conditional branches to prevent player 2 from moving off screen.
I added more conditional branches to make her cast magic (I'm using the XAS battle engine.)

I've gotten to a point where the event has so many conditional branches that it causes player 1 to lag. The typical way of reducing lag (adding wait 1 frame) is no good because it makes player 2's movement jerky.

So I guess it's time to learn scripting...?

I noticed in Wortana's 2 player engine there is credit to Original XP Version by Hima. Does anyone know where I can find that script?
